I’m looking to compile an “ideal” television schedule based on programmes from the 1960s, a “greatest hits” of 1960s tv. The schedule would run from 5pm until 11pm, Sunday through to Saturday, and include dramas, comedies, light entertainment, documentaries, music, etc. Which programmes would you nominate for this schedule? Please add your suggestions below and I will include the most popular programmes in the schedule.

By Brooke Neindorf and Duncan Bailey
After pioneering tuna fishing in Port Lincoln more than 70 years ago, the Tacoma has just delivered water to a parched sheep farm on an island off the Eyre Peninsula.

ABC News@ajsadauskas@pixelfed.social A bit more on this forgotten moment of Australian sporting history:
"It was pandemonium. About 15,000 people were at Parramatta Leagues club and its immediate surrounds. Players were lifted from the team bus into the club by elated fans.
…
"The fence pickets that weren’t souvenired had been piled together to make a bonfire.
…
"The fence pickets went up. The grandstand, a wooden heap built in the 1930s, soon followed. The scoreboard at the southern end was ablaze. It was a fibro structure set on two metres of brick with a clock on top, which a group of men tried feverishly to rip free for a keepsake before giving up and leaving it to burn.
"The goalposts were added to the bonfire, after one fan tried to climb to the top of them to get a flag. The man was still atop one pole as they fell, yet ran away and into legend. Advertising hoardings were ripped free and torched, taking chunks out of the fence.
…
"Firemen and police eventually broke up the party. When they returned the next day, Cumberland Oval was a smouldering ruin, the grandstand a charred carcass."
And that's why there's a statue of a bus in the main town square in Parramatta.

Yesterday, #KielScales25 was about #RaisingWaters, obsolete conecpts in Archaeology, #ScalesofTransformation or contacts between Danes and Slavs in the #MiddleAges. The day ended with an inspiring keynote lecture by Carla Jaimes Betancourt on urbanism and landscape engineering in Pre-Columbian Bolivia. Today we are continuing some topics, but also adding new ones, for example #AIinArchaeology. The whole programme: https://events.kielconference25.smart-abstract.com/#/grid/2025-03-26

In 1981, the Parramatta Eels won the grand final in the predecessor to the National Rugby League.
Many fans gathered at the team's home ground, Cumberland Oval (which was on the site of CommBank Stadium) and the celebrations got a bit rowdy.
And by "got a bit rowdy", I mean they burnt the stadium down to the ground.
Without a stadium, the following season the team held its meetings in a secondhand 1960s Leyland Worldmaster bus.
But that's not the only piece of local history commemorated by this sculpture by Claire Healy & Sean Cordeiro, titled "Place of the Eels".
One side of the bus is inscribed with the words "Flying Pieman". It's a reference to a local baker named William Francis King, who used to sell pies to people boarding the ferry to Parra at Sydney's Circular Quay in the 1870s.
After the ferry left, Mr King reputedly packed up his pie cart, then ran the 30-odd kilometres to Parramatta by foot. He would then set up his cart at Parramatta Wharf in time to sell more pies to passengers as they disembarked the ferry.
The other side of the bus is inscribed with the name "Rosie Bint Broheen". In 1922, Rosie became the first Lebanese woman to buy land in Parramatta.
The sculpture also includes some hidden messages, in reference to the Parramatta Industrial School for Girls, which was a notorious children's welfare institution that operated from 1887-1974. It was home to many members of the Stolen Generations.

Tibetan Empire reached its zenith under Songtsen Gampo's descendant Tri Song Detsuen in 755 AD who expanded Tibet politically and economically and promoted Buddhism to bring the nation together. However, about a century after him, the empire collapsed and Tibet entered its traditional "dark age." The Mongols conquered Tibet in 1244 but let the local Buddhist leaders manage the administrative affairs and Tibet gradually eased into a Theocracy as the Dalai Lama was acknowledged as the Spiritual Head.
In 1950, China, looking for a buffer zone between itself and India, invaded Tibet.

Did you know that "do you plead guilty to the charges?" was once an unlikely question to be answered?
Until the 18th century, common #law had a clause in which a person charged with a capital #offence would be subjected to torture if they did not plead either #guilty or not.
Many defendants refused to plead despite this prospect, because if they did, their heirs would not inherit their property!
#Torture by crushing was used to either elicit a plead or #death.
