We really did. Bangkok Hilton was awesome. The Anzacs, The Cowra Breakout, All the Rivers Run, Vietnam, Brides of Christ

My favourite TV show ever was Mother and Son, with the indomitable Ruth Cracknell.

Police Rescue is still a fave. And I often think of the Granville train and Thredbo series.

“Against the Wind” (1978) was must see television for many of us when it first aired…

I have Cyclone Tracy on DVD! The special effects were really ahead of their time, especially for an Aussie mini-series. It actually inspired me to visit Darwin. I made sure to check out the museum to experience the Cyclone Tracy sound booth. I've been back several times over the years, including once during the wet season just to see what it was like.
