- WARNING: Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander viewers are advised that the following program may contain images and/or audio of deceased persons
In this social media companion to series 4 of 1970s-set drama Love Child, Miranda Tapsell reprises her role as Martha to guide audiences through Australian pop culture of the decade.
As Martha, Tapsell adopts the giddy, almost formal language around television that was typical of the times. Colour broadcasting was still relatively fresh and set to overtake black-and-white television. Casual references to the magazine TV Week and clips from beloved programs The Graham Kennedy Show and Skippy give viewers a solid sense of the entertainment landscape, without feeling like they're attending history class.
Blending performance, props and archival clips, the clip invites viewers to rediscover the media titans of the past. It evokes nostalgia for those who lived through it, while offering younger generations a playful, informative window into the golden age of television.
