On the 20 20 Retro Countdown - we're heading back to a couple of weeks before Christmas 1989..

When this movie hit the cinemas..

 

This would've been the perfect Christmas gift for fans of Monty Python in 1989.

This collection of their favourite songs was released as a tribute to Graham Chapman who died a couple of months earlier..

In the next 20 20 Retro Countdown... we're heading back to early December 1981... and remembering the opening of Australia's biggest theme park..

 

20 20 Dreamworld

 

While we were riding the steam train at Dreamworld for the first time in 1981... this movie was at the cinema..

 

 

And early December 1981 was a significant time in sport... it was the last fight for Muhammad Ali..

Ali lost his fight against Trevor Berbick in the Drama In Bahama - December 11 1981.. and he never fought again.

His record finished at 61 fights - 56 wins - 5 losses!

We'll remember that - and also what was new on the TV as we visit this week in 1981 on the 20 20 Retro Countdown!
