Behind the scenes of two of Australia’s most outrageous television shows- - - - - - - - - - Two shows changed the face of Australian television forever, and rocked the nation to its foundations. And now, the creator of ’Number 96’ and the Executive Producer of ’The Mavis Bramston Show’ takes you behind the scenes of these two controversial, outrageously ground-breaking series for a jaunt through the industry’s Golden Years.- - - - - - - - - - These two shows flaunted the unmentionable, destroyed taboos, ridiculed sacred cows and dared to deal with subjects hitherto considered too shocking for polite society. They were condemned from the pulpit, slayed by the critcs, yet adored by an immense majority of viewers.- - - - - - - - - - Actor, script writer, producer and author David Sale’s career progressed through the theatres and movie studios of London and Hollywood and the turbulent world of Australia’s TV industry, and he takes us with him every step of the way.- - - - - - - - - - It’s a life that began in war-ravaged Manchester, followed the migrant route to Australia, and - against all odds - hit the heights of show business. It can be summed up in four words.From Blitz to Glitz!
