1960's TV test pattern

Program: 02 Where the bloody hell were you! The jingle reigns supreme

Space to play or pause, M to mute, left and right arrows to seek, up and down arrows for volume.

It’s the 1970s and we're entering Australia's golden age of advertising. The Aussie larrikin makes his TV appearance and liquid lunches get longer. Salaries get bigger and the egos to match them.

Join host Dee Madigan as she digs through the history of advertising in Australia.
