The 0-10 Network presents The National Survival Test, a special aimed at making Australians more aware of some of the basic facts that will help them survive various dangers including accidents and disasters. The special, produced by TEN10 Sydney, went on to win a TV Week Logie Award in 1978 for outstanding contribution to community service.
Meanwhile, GTV9 presents a one-hour special with Bert Newton to commemorate 21 years of Australian television and follows up with a repeat of the classic ’60s variety show The BP Super Show.
