Rip Bert. GMA got me through a nervous breakdown in the early 2000's. I always wanted to thank him in person but now Il never get to. Thank you Bert. Australia lost a true tv legend. 😥💔
I live in the UK and only came across Bert Newton due to you tube. We had never heard of him over here. But, I've watched a number of videos featuring Bert since, and what a star he was! We had our own this is your life version.
Yeah he was a pioneer on Aussie TV from the early beginnings. We grew up with Bert and he ended up getting a state funeral when he died a couple of years ago. Good to see his humour continues to entertain.
Very sad about the passing of Bert Newton. As a new Australian back in 1984, I learned to love characters like him and Graham Kennedy, who made my transition to my new country less painful and much easier. Rest in peace, good man.❤
Of course we're all so sad that Bert has left us and it's great that we have the Internet to remind us of how great he was but Bert's not dead he's just moved to another room.
Hard to believe that our King of Aussie TV, is no longer with us. Thank you for the wonderful memories you have given us Bert and rest in peace, but then you are in heaven making everyone laugh as you cant keep a good man down. Sincere Sympathy to the Newton Family
Wow i miss the good old days of tv.. even in 90s. Many of these Aussie legends are gone.......Bruce Mansfield, Bobby Limb, Jimmy Hannan, and legendary Graham Kennedy and Don Lane...
This program was done in 1997 and I watched it at the end of 2021 a short while after Bert passed. In those 24 years, Bert was still performing, encouraging new talent and bringing us so much joy. RIP Bert - thank you for being you.
The closest thing Australia had to someone like Bob Monkhouse or Bruce Forsyth. Thanks for making Australia smile through the decades. Vale Bert Newton
This is a wonderful moment. A show format like 'This is your life" simply will not work in today's world. Why? Because all our past has caught up with us on social media. In the good ol days, loved people would fade away into the darkness, never to be seen again. I hope the producers of this show reboot it in a better video format that Bert deserves.
30th October, 2021 was indeed a *sad* day in Australian TV for the loss of the *LEGEND* that was Bert Newton. Two years gone without the Logies being presented, the Logies should be abolished and a *NEW* award minted, *the NEWTONS!* for best comedy, drama, talk/variety and documentary shows, but *STRICTLY FOR FREE-TO-AIR* and also *STRICTLY NO REALITY SHOWS!*
I remember watching this show as a kid in the 90s and loving it. There's something still so wholesome about this, even in 1997 there was still an innocence about Australia which doesn't seem to exist anymore. Maybe its got something to do with the internet which was probably on the cusp of being a big thing when this was made. So much has changed about the world and people's attitudes since then.
Bruce Mansfield the greatest voice over man and one of the funniest blokes you'd ever meet. RIP Bruce. And Clive one of the greatest and funniest wordsmiths ever.
How great to see this. I worked at ATV-10 Melbourne during the time Bert was doing GMA, and met him many times. What a wonderfully generous and kind man. He will be sadly missed.
Burt we all love you please come back Television in Australia has never been the same without you...and us millions of fan's of you deserve you even for one more time xxxx
@thebendigostrangler Yes I’m an Aussie. He was a great Aussie Icon . Great times back in the 70s and 80s. Was often on The Don Lane Show with Don Lane who was an American that was the essence of Australian TV back in the 70s , like Paul Hogan .
@thebendigostrangler no I certainly am not although I can relive the 1980s again through utube like most Gen Xers and baby boomers do . I will say however for a lady in my late 50s I have never dyed my hair . It’s stayed it’s natural blonde colour . I think young and that’s why I look at least 10 yrs younger than what I am 😊 There are old people on Tiktok that look old Eg 50 60 etc but I’m 58 and I think they think I’m on the young end scale of a Gen Xer
@thebendigostrangler Hey 25-40 yr olds didn’t live in the 70s and 80s . The best times in Australia where you saw blonde babes in person and not on photoshopped Instagram . My kids are 28 and 30, but hey think young and you will stay young . Think old and you’ll end up in a nursing home much sooner. I know a 75 yr old guy who is the running man from Melbourne . Met him on a cruise on my 50th in 2013 going back from Hawaii to Sydney 17 nights on Royal Carribean . He runs about 20kms minimum a day and looks 55 where as there are 75yr olds in nursing homes so the motto use it or lose it rings true . Use all body parts too 🤣
@thebendigostrangler listen to Mondo Rock Come said the Boy filmed on Maroubra Beach in the 1980s Sydney Australia. That’s when I was young . 1980 16 turning 17 . Used to go to Maroubra Seals night club , Selina’s etc totally different world . I’m guessing your in your 40s from USA so maybe the early 90s was your nostalgia. The backstreet boys perhaps 🤣
Pattie McGrath was a member of *Swallows Juniors* initially on radio, then migrated to TV when, hosted by Brian Naylor, the show was aired by Station HSV-Melbourne. When the Swallows sponsorship crumbled, the show became *Brian & The Juniors* which then ran until 1970. Six of the "Juniors" from that last year would go on to form the first *Young Talent Time* team at Station ATV-Melbourne in April, 1971, they were Rod Kirkham, Vicki Broughton, Philip Gould, Debbie Byrne, Jamie Redfern and Jane Scali.
Bert Newton's first TV gig, "The Late Show" was *NOT* on Ch.7, it was on *STATION HSV-MELBOURNE!* Channels don't hire presenters or anyone else, for that matter as they are nothing more than 7mhz-wide chunks of the VHF spectrum.... *ETHER!*
The good old days when I was a young good looking blonde girl . Still blonde and quite good looking for 58 but very different times . Worked full time in the bank with some real deadshits . so that was shit . But went out partied weekends and didn’t have to worry about putting parties on so was great .
Look at Mondo Rock Come said the boy when I was a young chickadee back in the 1980s . Still got my natural blonde hair lucky me . I’m the only 58 yr old lady that gets a quick 15 minute haircut once every 3 months and has never dyed my hair . I ask my hairdresser should I put highlights in it and she always says it’s not necessary. She’s honest . She said you don’t need to . All other ladies colour their hair spend $$$ and time . Maybe cause I still act like a kid 25-40 my hair hasn’t gone grey yet 👱♀️
@neilforbes416 Now you may know this.Traditionally, TV stations made their broadcasts by sending specially-encoded radio signals over the air, called terrestrial television. Individual television stations are usually granted licenses by a government agency to use a particular section of the radio spectrum (a channel) through which they send their signals.

@@jasonkelly5554 Yes and with you tube and today's technology he's worldwide now ♥️
This brings back so many happy memories, love to you Pattie and family. I loved Bert so much and will continue to do so. Bert is one in a million.
RIP, Bert. I’m sad we couldn’t have had more time admiring your talents but beyond happy we got to experience what we did with you ❤️
He really was "our" Bert. Forever in our hearts.❤️🌈🙏
He seemed like a nice old fashioned gentleman. The love that Patti and Bert had for each other: was really beautiful.
I hope someone when finishing a eulogy at his funeral finishes with "And now, here's Moira"...
RIP Bert.
What a blast from the past! So many wonderful memories 😊

I STILL HEAR BERT'S LAUGH😀
Wow i miss the good old days of tv.. even in 90s.
Many of these Aussie legends are gone.......Bruce Mansfield, Bobby Limb, Jimmy Hannan, and legendary Graham Kennedy and Don Lane...
Yes I agree
And all of the American ones are gone too.
So happy to watch his life, our family arrived in Australia 40 years ago, we watched The Don Lane Show, brings back good memories. God Bless.
SWEET HUMBLE BERT🚶♂️😀💯🧡RIP LEGEND
Such a natural and humble person. They sure don’t make them like this anymore. Australian TV will never be the same. RIP
RIP Bert!You legend.Thanks for the memories.You are truly missed!
To a much loved man REST IN PEACE .we will miss you .

Just heard Bert died, this was nice to watch in memoriam.
Just a bloody good funny guy. So much respect for real people. Respect to your family.

Bert's Lane show wheel segments were hysterical. Always a highlight
My favourite memories are of Bert on the Don Lane Show and the wheel segment too.
19:14 Deadset funniest moment *EVER* on Australian TV and Demis Roussos' reaction was priceless!
Bruce Mansfield the greatest voice over man and one of the funniest blokes you'd ever meet. RIP Bruce.
And Clive one of the greatest and funniest wordsmiths ever.
RIP Bert best wishes to all his family and fans.
RiP Bert . Hasn’t TV changed now with reality shows . Wasn’t life so different back then
How great to see this. I worked at ATV-10 Melbourne during the time Bert was doing GMA, and met him many times. What a wonderfully generous and kind man. He will be sadly missed.
He was such a gentleman when I saw him on GMA.
R I P My Dear Friend ...... You will never ever be forgotten as you are and will always be one of a kind and a great friend. Love ya mate
Just finished watching it, some good memories. Thanks for sharing 🥰
You’re welcome 😊
R.I.P. Bert.
RIP Bert!
Thinking of his family, So Sad
Hoping Bert's son is doing well these days, and is reunited with his family.
What a wonderful man!!
Rest In Peace Bert xxx
I wish they would show those old shows again. We've never had anything near as good since Bert, Graham and Don.
I can't believe it....RIP beautiful man xxx
Thanks for the laughs, you were so good at it, rip mate
Great episode, What a great bloke but someone was missing,,,,,,,
No mention of Graham Kennedy.
Bert Newton is a Australian television icon.
