Just watched 20 minutes of Womens Weekly presents 60 years of Holden. Yet another garbage TV program that trivialises the subject.
I would have thought that since GMH paid for it they could have at least got their facts straight. The HT Monaro did not have a 327. They flicked from FE to EK and implied this was the first use of Lang Lang and completely missed the EH!!
I couldn't be bothered watching any more >:(

You should have watched all of it as they went back to earlier models etc. I didn't think it was too bad! I was interested in the fact that the VE is totally a new design and the money Holden spent. I didn't think that HD's had the option of disc brakes? I thought this started with the HR?
Overall, I enjoyed watching it, even though we copped a huge thunderstorm toward the end and missed a little.

Was there a model in between FE and FB? :-\ It can't have been a very important model ;D ;D
I agree with john, poor wording in a number of places and nothing really interesting or new in content.

Only saving graces were a couple of cool film ads of the one truly great Holden model range (the mighty FE's!);D
Seriously, if it aint on the ABC or SBS it will always just be about selling junk food and tampons in between some hastily cobbled together, poorly researched facts read by a superannuated glamour puss with zilch credibility to the faithful, like us :(.
Well, I enjoyed every minute of it. Programs like these always have some annoying little mistakes. Yes, HD's were available with disc brakes. I saw as many EH's as the other models they showed.
It's always a buzz to see the old footage, especially the stunt drivers. Imagine the length of the program if they showed everything Holden ever did.
Taken in context, I reckon it's a great program & well done to the people who put it together.

I enjoyed it to Collin, but I am biased as my son Josh was the editor. Its pretty hard putting together 40 minutes of program from hundred of hours of footage, to suit the client.

I also enjoyed it, but wanted more..... How do you fit 60 years of history into a 40 minute snippet? Not an easy task.

My daughter Julia got a big thrill seeing herself on TV. Julia was standing behind Jack when he was cutting the birthday cake.
I enjoyed it even with all the mistakes.
Cheers,
