RAT Party NYE 87/88 live on RAGE

Rage via VHS tape from possibly the only time it did a live outside broadcast. Maynard hosted Rage from 1987/88 RAT party in at Hordern Pavillion, Sydney goofing with the crowd.

Rage NYE live crosses from RAT Party, Sydney Hordern Pavillion 87/88.

The live cross at midnight has the Castanet Club in the background finishing their gig that night, then some New Year’s thoughts from the crowd, a run down the giant slide, a visit to an unimpressed DJ Tim Richie, then goodbye from the central dance floor at the Hordern Pavillion.

These all went to air between music clips played in back at ABC-TV at Gore Hill between 12-1am NYE 1987/88.

Maynard’s Mastermind Quiz

Maynard’s Mastermind quiz upped it’s game this month with the addition of higher production values, an inflatable hippo and a cat.

Most of the questions this month again were found behind my couch from around 1997, although we do have some from a TV Week magazine from 1979. Good luck!
