Description

Behind the scenes of two of Australia's most outrageous television shows - - - - - - - - - - Two shows changed the face of Australian television forever, and rocked the nation to its foundations.

They were condemned from the pulpit, slayed by the critcs, yet adored by an immense majority of viewers. - - - - - - - - - - Actor, script writer, producer and author David Sale's career progressed through the theatres and movie studios of London and Hollywood and the turbulent world of Australia's TV industry, and he takes us with him every step of the way. - - - - - - - - - - It's a life that began in war-ravaged Manchester, followed the migrant route to Australia, and - against all odds - hit the heights of show business. It can be summed up in four words. From Blitz to Glitz!
