GTV9 presents a special featuring Welsh pop singer Tom Jones, filmed during his recent Australian visit. The special is also broadcast across most regional stations — the only exception being BCV8 which delayed the program to the following night.
In Melbourne Tonight includes a guest appearance by visiting stars from the UK series Coronation Street.
The final episode of ATV0’s variety show The Ray Taylor Show. The program began in August 1964 as a Saturday night program but failed to gain a significant audience with numerous timeslot and producer changes.
