Tim Bowden - journalist for the ABC, but more known for his show “Backchat” which ran for years in the late 80s early 90s.
Who’s this bloke you ask?
Go and watch some stuff on YouTube. His show was the predecessor to Media Watch - whole spends their time ripping apart all media and being brutally honest. 915pm Monday nights on your ABC.
Tim was 87 - as per Media Watch last night.
I even got a bit misty about that one.

It's a long time since I've heard of him. IIRC Backchat was a 5 minute fill in show where people wrote in to complain about the ABC

I've just heard that Marty Morton has passed away aged 82. Any young ones on here won't know Marty but us old timers will. He was on the Super Flying Fun Show in the 70s, Marty and Emu.

At least Marty lived long enough to see the Mighty Emus finally win the comp.

I got the cain for riding the lifts on the way home from school there. I remember seeing him at Miranda Fair and on TV of course.

I've mentioned this one before. I remember seeing an older big brother with two little brothers singing at Miranda Fair. They were down from Queensland. Their name was the Bee Gees.

Young fella this is what they were like back then when they lit up Miranda Fair. The Good old days.

(As you can see, they were still growing into their teeth )

Not related, but the talk of Marty brought this memory back

Quigs, many years ago I worked at Grace Brothers at randy fair. I remember a day when they had Tiny Tim doing some sort of promo in the store, and I recall him being carried on some sort of throne or something.

It must of been after my time. I left Syd-a-ney and the Shire in 1978.

I can't remember anything about Tiny so I just went in and asked Mr Google. It appears that Tiny Tim was out here in 1992 for his 60th birthday.

Was that the time?
