From the New Zealand TV Weekly. March 31 1969
The first new programme to be produced at DNTV2 this year will be one for the children entitled. “Five Live.” Producer, Bruce Morrison explained that, as suggested by the title, each 30-minute programme will feature five personalities and will be divided into seven segments-lively indeed! Colin Lehmann is to act as front man and he will also introduce a weekly topic, which may range from men’s fashions to the space race: Neville Logan, a free lance artist, from Auckland will be on hand to compère a section dealing with facts on New Zealand and he will provide his own illustrations on a map of the country: a weekly book review is to be presented by Victoria White, a philosophy student at Otago University: Michael Loader, a local school teacher will lead a discussion’ on animals, ranging from apes to axolotls: and finally, Kevin Mills who will appear in two segments, one dealing with pop groups and their backgrounds, and the other an item on show business which will introduce many of the stars of well-known TV series. Throughout the series a sixth character will be making occasional appearances to sketch and generally discredit the other five. We’re not allowed to reveal his identity, but Bruce Morrison tells us he will be an “incurable romantic, something of a liar and not to be taken seriously.” The first of these 16 programmes, which, incidentally, are aimed at the 8 to 12 age group, will begin screening from DNTV2 on April 10 1969
