While the Winter Olympics don’t have a passionate following in Australia, eight years ago in Salt Lake City two men had Australian’s talking nothing but Winter sport and most would agree they are long overdue to return to our television screens. Of course we talk of Roy & H.G. as we re-live this ‘Classic TV [...]

Just about two years ago What’s On The Tube had a look at the Seven High Definition Loop which was broadcast all day long on what we now call 7HD. From 11am every morning till 4:30pm digital channel 70 would show a loop which was supposed to be in high definition in order for television [...]
Time for another Classic TV Flashback, and previously on What’s On The Tube we already looked at the classic TV series Get Smart staring Don Adams, but even some of the die hard fans of the show don’t know that back in 1995 the show was brought back to life. The short lived series only [...]

Time to hit the road! This is his backyard, the Aussie outback and who better to show it off to the world than Russell Coight in his television series Russell Coight’s All Aussie Adventures.

Another Classic TV Flashback and something a little different this time with Billy Connolly’s World Tour of Australia which was made back in the autumn of 1995. The show was made for BBC1 in the UK and aired here in Australia on the Seven Network, and was pretty popular back when it aired.

With the Olympic Games fast approaching it is time for another classic TV flashback and when thinking of a classic TV flashback no other show surly compares to this institution of a show, all other shows before this one and beyond would be classed as “a toilet” if you asked Rampaging Roy Slaven.
I am of [...]
When this show was on air it was very popular back in its day, this was back in the time before Underbelly graced our screens and is now regarded as truly one of the smash hit Australian cop dramas. The program in question is of course Melbourne based cop drama Stingers which ran on the [...]

The show also features Andrew O’Keefe back when he was only starting out in his role [...]
This has to be one of my favourite shows not only for me but for my family who would know the words to every episode off by heart. I’m talking about that classic 60’s comedy series Get Smart created by Mel Brooks and Buck Henry, and staring Don Adams as Maxwell Smart secret agent 86 [...]
This will the first in a series of classic television show flashbacks, the first one to be looked at will be that strangely hilarious show Monkey or more commonly referred to as Monkey Magic.
