In a special TV event at midnight
on the 1st of March,
30
00:01:23,910 --> 00:01:26,589
Countdown became
the first series on the ABC
31
00:01:26,590 --> 00:01:28,630

a welcome distraction.

00:02:20,870 --> 00:02:23,990
Some events in 1975
had brought flashes of hope.
50
00:02:25,750 --> 00:02:29,829
But at times, it felt like
the whole thing was falling apart.
51
00:02:29,830 --> 00:02:32,229
It'll probably be about two years
before this bridge

or another one is built.

00:02:35,310 --> 00:02:39,470
The Vietnam War would drag on
and on and finish in defeat.
54
00:02:40,990 --> 00:02:42,709
And the new Labor government
would stumble,
55
00:02:42,710 --> 00:02:46,349
and eventually be dismissed
by the Queen's man in Canberra.

had yet found their way

MOLLY: Three years ago...
Yes.
230
00:13:36,790 --> 00:13:38,509
When you were out here
on your first tour,
231
00:13:38,510 --> 00:13:40,429
three and a half years ago,
232
00:13:40,430 --> 00:13:42,789
you were rather stuck with
Daddy Cool and their talent,
233
00:13:42,790 --> 00:13:44,709
and especially Ross Wilson
as a songwriter.
234
00:13:44,710 --> 00:13:47,309
So much so that
you went back to England
235
00:13:47,310 --> 00:13:50,629
and encouraged John Baldry
to record Come Back Again.
236
00:13:50,630 --> 00:13:51,989
I tried to get it to Ringo too,
237
00:13:51,990 --> 00:13:53,949
but I don't think
he ever got it.
238
00:13:53,950 --> 00:13:55,829
Because I thought it would have been
great for him to do.
239
00:13:55,830 --> 00:13:58,029
I thought that band
were probably one
240
00:13:58,030 --> 00:14:00,349
of the most impressive bands
I've ever, ever heard.
241
00:14:00,350 --> 00:14:01,949
When I first heard them,
I just went...
242
00:14:01,950 --> 00:14:04,389

favourite tracks of all time.

You can hold it there.
Hold it there.

00:14:16,550 --> 00:14:18,629
That's the new cover, folks.
248
00:14:18,630 --> 00:14:20,549

I'd have to say because I like it.
I like it on stage.
257

It's a very good feeling
for me on stage.
258
00:14:43,790 --> 00:14:45,749

But I've not been to
too many places,
266
00:15:17,910 --> 00:15:22,229
simply because if you make films,
and if you write songs,

Oh!

I'm John.
Oh, thank you.
410
00:24:05,630 --> 00:24:08,509
Countdown today is celebrating
their 50th birthday, right?
411
00:24:08,510 --> 00:24:11,589
It was clear right from the
early episodes of Countdown
412
00:24:11,590 --> 00:24:13,709
that musicians liked Molly.
413
00:24:13,710 --> 00:24:15,349
Skyhooks,
which is pretty boring...
414
00:24:15,350 --> 00:24:18,309
And more often than not,
he got them to talk.
415
00:24:18,310 --> 00:24:22,149
Well, the biggest problem is
probably the lack of privacy
416
00:24:22,150 --> 00:24:25,189
in lots of ways, like...
417
00:24:25,190 --> 00:24:27,429
For instance, around here
at my place, you know,
418
00:24:27,430 --> 00:24:30,469
it's walking down the street,
things like that.
419
00:24:30,470 --> 00:24:32,909
People come up. Not that I mind.
420
00:24:32,910 --> 00:24:35,829
It's sort of like... I don't know.
421
00:24:35,830 --> 00:24:38,349
You sort of get into a thing
where you think,
422
00:24:38,350 --> 00:24:40,869
"Well, won't it be great
when it ends?" You know?
423
00:24:40,870 --> 00:24:43,989
Sort of that constant...
424
00:24:43,990 --> 00:24:45,709
I don't know, following by people,
425
00:24:45,710 --> 00:24:47,309
or sort of, "Oh, there he goes."
426
00:24:47,310 --> 00:24:48,949
"Maybe I should run over
and get his autograph."
427
00:24:48,950 --> 00:24:50,629
You know, that sort of thing.
428
00:24:50,630 --> 00:24:52,309
Sometimes, I do think
like when it'll end,
429
00:24:52,310 --> 00:24:54,509
and then I think,
"No, I don't really want it to end."
430
00:24:54,510 --> 00:24:57,149
Because it's what I like doing.
431
00:24:57,150 --> 00:24:59,589
Well, I don't want to start
the violins out
432
00:24:59,590 --> 00:25:01,549
or anything like that.
433
00:25:01,550 --> 00:25:04,149
But, um, you know, I think
that the Partridge Family
434
00:25:04,150 --> 00:25:06,189
kind of misrepresented me
435
00:25:06,190 --> 00:25:08,909
as something that I don't think
I really was, you know?
436
00:25:08,910 --> 00:25:10,949
I think it was kind of,
"Well, we'll have him playing"
437
00:25:10,950 --> 00:25:13,589
"a 16, 17, 18-year-old whatever."
438
00:25:13,590 --> 00:25:17,069
A nice swell looking guy
from next door and all that.
439
00:25:17,070 --> 00:25:19,669
I used to take people
to the shake shop.
440
00:25:19,670 --> 00:25:21,709
I mean, it was totally unreal.
441
00:25:21,710 --> 00:25:23,949
They took that image
as the part I was playing,
442
00:25:23,950 --> 00:25:25,869
and made him David Cassidy, you know,
443
00:25:25,870 --> 00:25:28,229
with the dresses,
and bubble gum cards,
444
00:25:28,230 --> 00:25:29,669
and comic books and everything else.
445
00:25:29,670 --> 00:25:32,309
That was real difficult for me,
you know,
446
00:25:32,310 --> 00:25:34,029
for a long time to kind of...
447
00:25:34,030 --> 00:25:36,669
Like, I think I went through
an enormous identity crisis
448
00:25:36,670 --> 00:25:38,429
because of that.
449
00:25:38,430 --> 00:25:39,949
MOLLY: So you're all
from Bonnie Scotland...
450
00:25:39,950 --> 00:25:41,429
Aye!
451
00:25:41,430 --> 00:25:44,149
As Countdown's fame grew,
at home and around the world,
452
00:25:44,150 --> 00:25:46,069
Molly would deliver
both the interviews
453
00:25:46,070 --> 00:25:48,829
and the international performances.
454
00:25:48,830 --> 00:25:53,069
It was in Edinburgh in a place
called the Blackford Hills.
455
00:25:53,070 --> 00:25:54,909
That's where I bought my house,
by the way.
456
00:25:54,910 --> 00:25:58,109
And it's hills, and I used to watch
the sunrise coming up.
457
00:25:58,110 --> 00:26:00,829
6:00 in the morning, I used
to be out delivering milk.
458
00:26:00,830 --> 00:26:02,950
And that's how I got
the inspiration for Magic.

style music festival was over.

Local festivals such as Meadows,
Nimbin, Hillcrest and Sunbury

had packed up the tents

Hello, John.
Good afternoon.
906
00:55:52,110 --> 00:55:54,189
What are you?
I'm a Womble.
907
00:55:54,190 --> 00:55:56,149
Oh, well, that explains it then.
908
00:55:56,150 --> 00:55:58,269
What are you doing here at the ABC?
909
00:55:58,270 --> 00:56:00,789
Well, I'm here to make Countdown.
910
00:56:00,790 --> 00:56:02,709
Oh, five past five on Sunday?
911
00:56:02,710 --> 00:56:04,469
That's right.
That's funny. So am I.
912
00:56:04,470 --> 00:56:06,349
I'm just having a look through some
of the wardrobe here.
913
00:56:06,350 --> 00:56:07,989
I'm going to bring
some of me own next week.
914
00:56:07,990 --> 00:56:09,829
We'll see you on Countdown,
five past five on Sunday.
915
00:56:09,830 --> 00:56:11,509
And the Womble will be with me too.
