TV CLASSICS WITH ANDREW MERCADO
This presentation will include footage from popular Aussie TV series such as Number 96, with a special focus on why growing up in Newcastle meant it was one of the best places in Australia to watch TV.
WARNING – this show will contain: nostalgia, nudity, black and white footage and as the wowsers of Merewether called it, “fornication”!
TV Historian Andrew Mercado wants to take you back to the classic days of Australian television.
Re-live the shows that shocked us, the ads that sucked us in, and the people who made it happen.
Nobody knows more about Australian TV than Andrew. He’s been a regular on the box since 1999 when he began interviewing the stars and being the movie guy on Mornings With Kerrie-Anne.
He wants to celebrate the glory days with you, when you had to get off your chair and walk over to change the channel. And depending on where you lived, you had a choice of five stations … or just two.
