VHS Revue 5 – 1992 Ray Martin Special
Pour yourself a tall glass of vodka and settle back for another VHS Revue!
This time it’s a Channel Nine special called “Good Blokes & Superstars” from 18 November 1992.
Highlights include commercials for Telecom, Bolle sunglasses, Australian Dairy Foundation and Spend-less Shoes. Join me as I raise a glass (or two) for quintuple Gold Logie-winner Ray Martin.
Special thanks to Adam Navarro, Nicholas Godfrey, Alexis Kotlowy and Hannah Green. They know what they did.
