Recovery, ABC TV, 1999 (full episode but with no music)

This is an (almost) complete episode of the ABC TV show Recovery, filmed and sent live to air in 1999, the last show filmed at their house in Melbourne. All copyrighted music and music videos have been skipped to avoid any problems, and no copyright is claimed over this recording. It is not monetised and I don't aim to make any money from this, but I can't find any other full episodes online and I wanted to share what Saturday morning TV was like in the late 1990s. Hope you like it.
This episode features hosts Leigh Whannell and Janelle Da Silva with Angus Sampson and Dylan Lewis popping in, and guests included Custard (Bluey's dad Bandit's band), The Living End, Judith Lucy, Bass Anger, Texta Queen, BIS, and me, Iain Anderson(!) among several others. As it was the last night in the house, there was a wrap party in the house in the evening after the shoot, and a great time was had by all.
(A much shorter version of this has been online for several years and both the hosts have liked it, so when I found the full programme on VHS and a friend offered to help digitise it, I thought the whole thing would be a great idea.) #RecoveryABC

This is amazing, Thanks for uploading! Recovery came to my highschool to do a concert in about 1998 - good times!

[@daleforbes83]

Thanks for sharing! I wish there was somewhere to watch old episodes. Jonesing for the 90's vibes.

[@chrishuston7162]

Hell Yes, the greatest decade in the history of mankind 💪💪💪💪💪💪 I wish so damn bad that I could go back in time to the 90's permanently and stay in that decade forever 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏 that's would be my definition of heaven

[@oceania4892]

I was 18. This show was just too cool for me. The hosts were so cool.I couldn't ever watch it straight through for whatever reason. I guess you'd really have to be more interested in music, like all music, not just mainstream music, which I guess is all I listened to.

[@graciekattan6618]

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@finnbaker6562]

my mum loved this show, she even had a cd of some of the music on the show, i never listened to it but i took it from my mum because i thought it was funny because there were butts made of playdough. and i thought recovery was a band, til my recent aw obsession and i kept getting his little reviews come up on my recommended. and i was like huh? he was in a band? so i asked mum about it and she now makes me watch every single one that pops up with her. ill be honest, love leigh,, but why does he have to talk so fast and make no sense? i can imagine that this is what its like for americans to understand us blending words together into one syllable.

[@chrishuston7162]

LONG LIVE THE 90's THE GREATEST DECADE IN THE HISTORY OF MANKIND, I LIVE AND BREATHE EVERYTHING 90's, I WISH SO BADLY THAT I HAD A TIME MACHINE OR IF I COULD GET STUCK IN A TIME WARP AND BE STUCK IN THE 90's FOREVER🤟🤟🤟🤟👍👍👍👍🍺🍺🍺🍺🍻🍻🍻🍻 I WOULD NEVER RETURN TO THE FUTURE, I JUST WANT TO LIVE IN A 90's REALITY WORLD PERMANENTLY

[@IainAnderson]

Sorry, I don't think there are many full episodes out there - they'd have to be taped at the time on VHS, or from an official archive copy.

[@luvheeler]
