@ the Writers' Festival, Graeme Blundell spoke frankly and warmly of the comic genius of Graham Kennedy, his recent biographical subject.
My 1970s based knowledge of Blankety Blanks was fleshed out with stories about his IMT days, but I had seen little footage.
Enter YouTube.
Tear myself away from the caricatures of our Prime Minister and the comments re his first YouTube foray encouraging young Austns to spend a gap year in the defence force and then the climate change announcement,(his media minders, perhaps not fully versing themselves as to the actual web 2.0 communicative, collaborative nature of YouTube before allowing their boss to appear).
Interesting the use of YouTube by jockeying candidates in the current pre US elections and now here.
Disappointed with the basic search functions but find two short pieces of early Graham Kennedy, plus BBlanks and Coast to Coast.
A fellow blogger has shown us the educational alternatives to YouTube with Science Hack and Teacher Tube. The latter is a sibling of YouTube containing educational videos from YouTube. The former is a independent site with all videos vetted and approved by scientists.
