Title:
Willesee: interview with Ian 'Molly' Meldrum on the end of Countdown
NFSA ID
1498333
Year
1987
On the night following Countdown’s final episode – the Countdown Music Video Awards, which aired on 19 July 1987 as an extended 90-minute special – Channel Nine’s Willesee program aired a warm tribute to the show’s legacy, hosted by Jana Wendt.
In this sequence, we see a clearly reflective Ian Meldrum, proud of the show’s achievements but also hesitant to talk up his own role and personal accomplishments.
The National Film and Sound Archive of Australia acknowledges Australia’s Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples as the Traditional Custodians of the land on which we work and live and gives respect to their Elders both past and present.
