FOR many Aussie kids who grew up before iPods, Spotify and T-Swizzle, Saturday nights were family time, spent in front of the television watching “Young Talent Time”.
The variety show ran from 1971 until 1988 launching the careers of many child stars including Tina Arena, Dannii Minogue, Jamie Redfern and Debbie Byrne.
Created, produced, and hosted by Johnny Young, the show also found fame for the likes of Philip Gould, Jane Scali, Rod Kirkham, Vikki Broughton, Karen Knowles, John Bowles, Sally Boyden and Joey Perrone.
To celebrate “Young Talent Time’s” 50th anniversary, the National Film and Sound Archive of Australia (NFSA) has curated a digital tribute to the show that shaped young stars and musical tastes for a generation.
