Countdown, the show that epitomised the pop music scene in Australia for over a decade, made its debut 40 years ago today. Produced at ABC‘s Melbourne studios, Countdown was initially commissioned for six half-hour and two one-hour programs to air on Friday evenings in November and December 1974. The new show was six months in planning and was the creation of producers Michael Shrimpton and Rob Weekes, joined by talent co-ordinator Ian ‘Molly’ Meldrum, who described his role to TV Times: “I have to sort out what I think will be a balanced line-up of artists with songs in the charts and then go to producer Rob Weekes, who either agrees or disagrees. Hi Andrew V, I have to concede an error with regards to linking the Prince Charles interview to the 100th episode.
That was sourced from the 1981 book Australian TV: The First 25 Years, but on further investigation you’re right. Seems this normally very reliable source was incorrect on this occasion. The Prince Charles interview actually took place several months after the 100th episode — in November 1977 to promote the Queen’s Jubilee Fund pop record that had just been released. Just verified this from TV Times, dated 3 December 1977.
