In a previous interview with TV Tonight, Gaha said that after presenting Vidiot, Animal Hospital and Take 40 Australia, he wanted to produce but found it hard to be given the chance.

“I started by producing my own stories on Animal Hospital, and I begged Peter Meakin (then) at Channel Nine to give me a job on Current Affair’s Summer Edition just to prove I knew how to craft a piece.

“And they were on a one-day turn around too. I really enjoyed my time at Nine because you learned how to cover a lot with very little.”
