Good News Weekend, a ten-week special, focussed more strongly on popular culture than the news and frequently featured musical guests and stand-up performers. The shows were broadcast live, with the exception of a few prerecorded sketches. From Wikipedia.

Albert Einstein is the son of a Tasmanian apple farmer, who discovers the secret of splitting the beer atom to put the bubbles back into beer. When Albert travels to Sydney to patent his invention he meets beatuiful French scientist Marie Curie, as well as several unscrupulous types who try to take advantage of the naive genius and his invention.

A touching story of a likable, but somewhat slow, teenage boy who believes he has bought a major Sydney racecourse for $20. Based on the classic Australian novel of the same name by Patricia Wrightson.
