Where it all began for pop music in this country is covered in this first up episode. Australia may well be known as the Antipodes and for many it certainly lived up to its name when they travelled to a place so far away from the centres of music in America and Europe it must have seemed like another planet. This episode looks at the music scene in Australia during the 1950s and early 1960s as many overseas acts such as Little Richard, Judy Garland, and various acts from promoter Lee Gordon made their way with often controversial results. The Beatles tour of 1964 is covered, as is the success of 'home-grown' talent The Bee Gees.
