Re: rage goes retro * 5 FULL COUNTDOWN EPISODES information - Saturday 4th January, 2020

Good to hear the programs all went ahead as planned.

Re: rage goes retro * 5 FULL COUNTDOWN EPISODES information - Saturday 4th January, 2020

Evening and late night programming has remained as advertised in recent weeks, it's just daytime programming where some alterations occurred. Ch24 has had the fire news around the clock virtually so it's good to see that channel is being used for its intended purpose. Let's hope that continues. Let's also hope that they get these destructive fires under control.

After last night's 1982 marathon, that year has now overtaken 1984 as the most shown season (excluding the 1970s where every single surviving broadcastable episode has aired).
1982 had 52 episodes made (the summer shows were pre-recorded in 1981), with 46 now shown and only 6 still to air. Also at least 3 episodes - No. 10, 19 and 20 - of Countdown Friday (clip show hosted by John Peters) exist.

The remaining 6 1982 shows that are yet to air on Rage are as follows:
- January 10 1982 Molly (Summer Special #4 Export bands)
330 May 30 1982 Ray and Dennis (Dr Hook)
344 September 5 1982 Billy Miller (The Great Blokes/ex Ferrets)
351 October 31 1982 no host (Advance Australia theme - songs introduced by live acts)
355 November 28 1982 Tim Finn
356 December 5 1982 Wendy Stapleton (Wendy & The Rocketts)

I love 1982 and it's my fave year music wise but some variety would have been nice. A 1985 episode or a Rock Arena

Does anyone know if the complete video for Mondo Rocks "The Queen & Me" was shown during 1982? There was a snippet in one of the episodes and would love to see the full clip.

Re: rage goes retro * 5 FULL COUNTDOWN EPISODES information - Saturday 4th January, 2020

Hi Gary, the full video clip for 'The Queen And Me' by Mondo Rock was on the September 26th, 1982 episode hosted by Billy Field.

This episode was shown on the final week of Retro Month back in January 2013.

rage got back to me on their facebook page after querying why 30/5/82 episode was dropped....technical problem with the ep and will play it in the next few weeks.
