1969 - Fourth Week of July The Wayback Week
-
- Comedy
This Wayback Week we touch down on the moon to talk space germs, lunar quicksand, the origins of Buzz Aldrin's odd first name and how only two-thirds of the Apollo 11 astronauts went on to receive Australia's highest civilian honour: the Special Gold Logie. Plus: everything else that was happening that week, from an Aussie pop singer shot dead on stage in Vietnam and the end of Edward Kennedy’s presidential hopes, to Mick Jagger being almost fatally unfaithful to Marianne Faithful and the painful comedy of errors suffered by a very unlucky bank robber.
