@markusmon1978 Yes, he should did. Not sure when he started, probably in the 70's. Finished around 86 or 87 at BTQ. Wasn't at TVQ that long, maybe a year or so? His last stint doing weather was at Sunshine Television from the start of aggregation from early '91 for a few years before retirement.
What a great snippet of Brisbane TV history. Pam was a very likeable personality - from her days as host of the Channel Niners Saturday on QTQ-9 with Ashley Mac. Hugh is a real statesman, being QTQ station manager for many years. Not sure about his role at Brisbane Ten News though!!!
No, they made this one off 30 sec promo for the start of ratings period 1989. It was used for a few months and then of course....well Mr Shanks came...and went
Didnt Noel did the weather on BTQ-7

Its a shame there isnt any more footage of Pam Tamblyn, she is great!
She was also on the Channel Niners kids show and Westfield young entertainers

And adding to that - the ident at the start of the clip is fantastic. So much better than what they have now.

What a clip! I do agree with you - only one phrase for Hugh and that's "oh dear". Very outdated presentation style and awkward delivery.
Would have liked to have seen more of Pam - she seems the only reason to watch "Brisbane Ten News" at the time!

Brisbane Ten... I believe TVQ should go back to using that term again, to show some localism.

Great clip!! On your question "what were they thinking?" about Hugh, they were obviously desperate. Still, they weren't that bad!

1:49 , and I always thought the Brisbane Style campaign ended with Expo...
Not so now, it either ended with the (inevitable) sale to (Frank) Lowy or Bob Shanks's 10 TV Australia transformation six months later.
Now if modern, foreign owned TVQ could learn to be more like DDQ run TVQ...
