In 1977, Simon Townsend made a new pilot for the current affairs-style children's program that he had been trying to get on the air for a few years.
This segment is a good example of how the show wanted to be fun but also inform at the same time.
It features a story about an unusual new product – the 'Dog Potty' – presented in zany fashion by reporter Greg Bepper.
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.
