Were they on the ABC?
I checked the ABC and DVDEZY , no joy.

Surely with the amount of money that they owed the could get some money on releasing there footage to DVD (If they still own it, or ever did)

Baz....you are worth your weight in Land Rovers

I remember a Leyland Bros send up on ABC Radio.... was it the Naked Vicar Show...Their expedition began something like this:

"We backed out of our drive in Acacia Road Newcastle and were immediately stranded on the median strip"

DVD on ebay and 2 Leyland Brothers T shirts

It's a shame they won't show these old shows on tele. They are probably too long with the ad breaks these days. I watched a show the other night, from 8pm to 8:30pm there was 5 minutes of show then 4 minutes of ads during the time.

Just look at a series of 24 on dvd and see what time is lost in the ad breaks. 4 and a half minutes per ad break. Shame! They need more competition. After all the population of Aus has increased a lot and how many more commercial stations are there now compared to the 60's!

Well that's my gripe for now, back to the post!
