Mouse Racing: Wednesday, 10th August, 1977

A lovely sunny morning heralded a bitterly cold start to the day of just seven degrees Celsius at half past six. The smog is dreadful, due to a lack of wind and the fact that Sydney has not received any substantial rain in what seems like more than two months. The afternoon, however, reached a delightful twenty-one degrees.

“Flashez”, on Channel Two at 5.30 p.m., afforded me the opportunity to view the vocal group, Boney M., for the first time. Half of an hour elapsed before the “Wild, Wild World Of Animals” examined the inhabitants of a coral reef in the Red Sea.

“Willesee” includes a segment on the racing of mice in Western Australia, in addition to an interview with the actor, Efrem Zimbalist Jr., who is fifty-four years of age. He is perhaps remembered best for his roles in the television series, “77 Sunset Strip” and “F.B.I.”.

Despite it being a documentary that was made for children, we viewed “My Mum’s Having A Baby” from half past seven. It ran for an hour.
