Curator’s notes
The success of this genre has always relied heavily on the personality of the host. Here Bert Newton’s skills are demonstrated in his cheeky and irreverent, yet still sympathetic, style as he relates to the contestant, the judges and the audience in the studio and at home.
Simple set and lighting, studio audience and a nervous contestant dressed in the height of contemporary fashion all add to the program’s appeal.
