Countdown (Australia)- 10th Anniversary Idents 2- October 28, 1984- 10th Anniversary Episode

A segment from the long running Australian music TV series Countdown, which aired on the ABC from 1974-1987. This particular segment aired during the Countdown 10th Anniversary episode which originally aired on October 28, 1984, on the ABC. This clip features Countdown idents from various Australian and international musicians congratulating Countdown for its 10th Anniversary Episode. Featured artists include Marilyn, Boy George, Meatloaf, Holly Johnson from Frankie Goes To Hollywood, and Angry Anderson from Rose Tattoo. Note: This episode, taped from a rebroadcast from the ABC music show ‘rage’, lists this episode on-air and on its playlist website having aired on October 27, 1984. This is incorrect, as that date was a Saturday- the nearest Sunday, Countdown's traditional airing date, was October 28, 1984. Vaxfacts: Countdown first aired on Australian television on Friday November 8, 1974, originally as a 25 minute show at 6:30PM, on the ABC. For the rest of 1974, Countdown would air on a Friday night for 25 minutes from 6:30PM (November 15, 22, 29, December 6), with the two final episodes of the year airing for 55 minutes from 6:00PM (December 20 and 27).
