Countdown 50 gallery: Molly, behind the scenes.

One last gallery, dedicated to the heartbeat of an iconic show, Ian 'Molly' Meldrum.

The final gallery in TV Tonight‘s Countdown 50 series is devoted, of course, to Ian ‘Molly’ Meldrum without whom the show would not have thrived.

A journalist for Go Set magazine, Molly was the show’s talent co-ordinator and heartbeat of the show. His passion overcame any lack of television polish and the kids and bands loved him for it.

A couple of other Behind the Scenes pics are included.

  1. A fantastic collection of candid shots.
    A lovely one of Bwian and Molly.
    Very sad that Molly isn’t a part of the Countdown 50th Celebrations.
    Molly was the heart and soul of Countdown and would have loved to be there if he was able..
