The June 3rd, 1984 episode of Countdown hosted by Grace & Bernie played this weekend on rage, I used to have a timer code episode!

My friend who worked for ABC in the 90s gave me that episode plus the 1983 Tim Finn when he is at the desk upstairs at ABC studios and Sting and Brian Canham from 1985 which rage have not played yet, plus a few more which rage have since played.

I actually lost the tape with the Grace & Bernie Countdown episode from June 3rd, 1984 played this weekend. So it looks like I will be gaining a copy again, I have no idea how the tape got lost or where it went!!! ... So it's not really a surprise episode for me but one which I will have in my collection again.


The 1982 Hot Chocolate, most of us have on Timer Code so no surprise there but the November 2nd, 1980 episode of Countdown is my * HIGHLIGHT * this weekend with another JO STANLEY performance and an band MOTIVATORS performance which looks interesting

A lot of relatively-often played clips on Saturday morning, though a couple they've not aired as standalone videos before (Oh Sherrie).

I'm waiting for the annual retro month airing of Split Enz's 'Six Months In a Leaky Boat'

Where is the Saturday morning Playlist????
