DON’S SHOW WAS MUSTSEE TV THE MOMENT IT HIT THE AIR
-
Fifty years ago this week, The Don Lane Show began its rating-busting seven-year run on Channel Nine. To this day, it is the highest-rated variety show in Australian television history.
But what exactly made the program, which aired twice a week, such a game-changer? The man of the hour (or rather, the 90 minutes) himself, Don Lane!
Indeed, almost every major celebrity who was coming to Australia would insist their trip included a stop in Melbourne so they could swing by Don’s humble set. Appearing on his show was always so much fun – and very unpredictable!
From David Bowie and Sammy Davis Jr. to Kiss, each episode featured an incredible line-up of guests, which made it essential viewing.

Yuletide ANGELS
When Renee Speranza and Dom Orlando tell people they are Christmas tree stylists, the assumption is they're hired by people who have cash to splash, and live in homes that require enormous and perfectly styled decorations.
