Ed Kuepper reflects on the Saints' success with '(I'm) Stranded' in Britain. Mark Callaghan (the Riptides) and Robert Forster (The Go-Betweens) speak about the impact The Saints had on them. Grant McLennan (The Go-Betweens) tells about how The Go-Betweens began releasing singles on their own Able label.

If I could hijack a TV station I'd put this on instead of Today Tonight and fix all of Brisbane's issues in 1hr.
