No-one has anything to say...[edit]

... about this excellent article? Well-written and spot on with its facts and shrewd assessments?

Ah well ... sic transit gloria mundi and all that.

I have never forgotten this show. I can still sing the opening song:

Welcome, welcome, welcome!

How-de-do, hello!

Sit back,relax,forget your income tax,

We’ll bring you all the pertinent facts,

Here’s Mavis!

Rent-a-car-Avis, Mavis! (or Lord God save us, Mavis !)

The Mavis Bramston Show!

Tommy Tycho often came up with indelible melodies. A song about Sydney snob-school girls complaining that their British-style uniforms were too hot, stays with me; it had a touch of sultry Eartha Kitt about it.

I always thought Carol Raye a bit of a pill, TBH. She came across as ‘Awfly naice’, and I wondered why she was in Bramston at all. Much later learned that she was the engine behind the whole damned thing ! 2001:44B8:3102:BB00:5496:387F:1765:A359 (talk) 20:56, 22 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

This is not TV Week[edit]

This poorly written farticle is not at all encyclopaedic. Informative as it is, it runs more like a TV Week promo than a concise factual entry in any encyclopaedia let alone this online one posing as an authoritative source (which it isn't and never will be so long as clods are allowed to 'refine' its content).

It is far too long-winded. Sounds like it was authored by a fan of the show rather than an academic. Given that the show itself was so short-lived and only old fogies like myself would even be aware of its existence back in the Mesozoic Era, it's surprising how it could be filled with so much 'content'. My guess is that a television aficionado wrote this - not a scholar. Wokepedian (talk) 09:07, 16 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]

"Seven Network"[edit]

It didn't exist then. Grassynoel (talk) 04:31, 14 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
