NEW FLASHBACK #56:
Never let it be said that the crew of ABC‘s This Day Tonight ever failed to get to the bottom of a story. For World Nudist Day in the Southern Hemisphere in 1973, the crew from the Adelaide branch of TDT were invited by a local nudist club, The Tindo Club, to film a story for the occasion. Pictured here, talking to a female club member, are reporter Darryl Warren, cameraman Alan Hall (wearing shoes – “for a bit of a joke – the trifle modest cameraman.”) and sound recordist Mike Piper. “It took us a while to get up the courage to take our clothes off,” Warren told TV Times. “But it was a great feeling after that. We were self-conscious at first but mainly because of our white behinds.” Picture: TV Times, 3 March 1973
