@quizmaster85 Oh I just found out what it is! "Email Limited" was the name of an appliance company in Australia! "Email" was an acronym-- it had nothing to do with what we think of as email today!! LOL!
Interestingly, the exact same footy ad that appears at 2:13 also appeared in the Ch 7 doco about their history of football coverage 'Heart of the Game' back in 2001
Also from that ad, presuming it's talking about the 2nd week of the finals, it can be presumed this footage was from Sep 7-13 1974.
The musical "stinger" at 3:01 was previously used by ABC [American Broadcasting Company] Television in the United States from the mid-1960's to about the early 1970's.
Thanks for these fantastic uploads, I will have to organise another trade with you soon, this is awesome stuff!!! Those pop performances from the Paul Hogan Show Johnny Farnham, William Shakespeare n others I have in colour as the show was taped to quad in colour n they look brilliant!!!
Fabulous collection there from Pres. That theme from 'This Week...' was one of my favorites (Don't happen to know what 'library collection' that came from do you?) Also, the Paul Hogan Promo was most likely done at ATN as it has the voice of Max Rowley (I think I remember his name...). The slogan 'Prices so low...etc, was used in NSWs for Retravision. Finally, WOW strange thing, I'm listening to Burt Bacharach as I type this - would love to get a hold of that SPECIAL, great stuff! More please!
It's not library music, it's a Quincy Jones track called "Call Me Mister Tibbs", from the soundtrack of the Sidney Poitier filem "They Call Me Mister Tibbs". It features over the opening and closing credits, and in a car chase scene...
The dissolves from one overlay to another at the end of "This Week Has 7 Days" was reminiscent of the dissolves between slides at CBS (and WCBS-TV) in New York for many years, through the early 1980's. Did HSV7 have the same switchers/equipment as CBS, pray tell?
There is no better way of capturing the past other than continuous television video recordings featuring original commercials, logos, news breaks, and programs. If you desire to travel back in time to 1974, it doesn't get any better than this. This HSV7 TV video recording (and many others) is our best window to the past.
interesting too that Hannan's ad... the ladies are probably tired and irritable from washing dad's dirty overalls because they'd just been shaking the asbestos off them before washing them!
David Johnston has had an illustrious radio and TV news career from what I can tell. He's still going at channel 7. I have lived in NSW all my life, yet the Victorian-based presenter is still a familiar face.
This was before The Paul Hogan Show was moved to Channel 9 in 1977.

You're welcome TAB. I'm glad you have the complete Hoges colour episode intact. With Delvine and Karen Pini on board you couldn't ask for more!
Yes I have much more material since we last arranged a trade.

I unfortunately don't have the whole episode, just the music clips whom I got from another trader.

David Johnston retired a couple of years ago. His last job was reading the national 4.30 news for Seven.
