The final part with the two men singing and playing together just warmed my heart. I wish we had more of that today

I loved Sydney pubs in early nineties. There was something open 24/7, great for drinking, fighting and generally having a good time

Nah...1974 (unless it was indeed 1976 and taped from broadcast on B/W equipment.) Saw no post-1974 cars and the fashions looked like 1974.

If this is from 1978, why is it in B&W? It would have to be pre-1975.

You beauty

The Pubs in Sydney are not like they use to be. Today they are Pokie Dens and Gay Bars.

Does anyone know who the artist was?

[@glsinsight]

Is that host the host from letters and numbers?

[@flamencoprof]

Was that presenter's hair a style, or a construction?

[@danrobinson572]
