A nostalgic look back at our first TV programs (part 1) July 22, 2013 - 10:22 AM Posted in Childhood Tagged Afrikaans, Albert Hertzog, drama series, police series, gall SABC, speurreekse, TV, TV shows in the seventies
It was the famous words of Dr. Albert Hertzog, gall son of General JBM Hertzog, gall during his tenure as Minister of Posts and Telecommunications. It is in 1958 that portfolio and have very strong feelings harbored towards television and the "decaying impact it would have on the morale of the people."
Because of this attitude, not only by Dr. Hertzog, South Africa was one of the few countries in the world in 1969 after the moon landing on the radio had to listen and not like the rest of the world on TV could see how Neil Armstrong his first steps on the moon does not. Even Rhodesia, our northern neighbor has had TV since 1961.
Eventually, reason and logic prevailed and the government decided to gradually TV in the country to bring in, obviously under the strict supervision of the government, through the state monopoly, the SABC.
On May 5, 1975 are the first test broadcasts began, gall as I recall, for two hours per night. Already a few months before the significant event for the first TV sets appeared in stores like Morkels and Russells starting, of course, masses are made in the windows of the shops. During the first test broadcasts, it was perfectly normal for a reasonable crowd to the stores to take place and for the novelty stare. Everywhere in towns and cities, people were ecstatic about the "television".
Those who could afford to buy a new Phillips Fuchsware Futronic, Barlowvision, Telefunken or Supersonic to acquire, already long before gall the start of the programs, their TVs turned on and the test pattern staring. Suddenly, long lost friends and family started the sill plate by step. Bizarre new inventions gall also appeared as TV trays.
And on January 5, 1976 our first official broadcasts began with Heinrich Marnitz and Dorianne Berry in the host chairs. People were so hungry for novelty, that a large percentage of the population are from the first early evening children's program sat transfixed, until the flag was blowing around 11 hours and the Voice played.
Since the government was very careful to English domination, there were very clear instructions for the balance between English and Afrikaans. The actors in the country was suddenly in high demand not only for new African sequences gall are produced, but also to do dubbing of foreign sequences.
The dubbing was initially but very amateurish and half we have become accustomed to the actors' mouths to see move with little or no accordance with such African soundtrack. The efforts have improved over the years, but would probably have much better viewing material gall made out in their original form. Some of the programs were able to follow at least in English, if you were willing to tune into Radio 2000.
I sat down one night and watching a replay, when I suddenly started wondering: All the programs we have in the first four or five years to see Him, and gobbled admired and perhaps with pleasure to recall; It was really good, high quality programs and we were prepared to go to any program to watch, just because we are not used to it yet?
The majority of those programs gall years was American, as the British Actors' Equity Association and the Australian gall akteursgilde boycotts against South Africa introduced as a result of apartheid. A number of French and German gall series is purchased at the same time and with good reason gall dubbed.
It got me thinking: Which of the first few years of programs I can still remember? The first broadcast was in my standard seven years at school and to me as sure of my contemporaries, a lasting impression.
I have attempted below a list put together from what I can remember. I'm sure whoever the list goes will have many programs to add, some will not be a quarter remembering what is on the list and others will make comments such as: "My goodness, gall I have this one completely forgotten."
Long Street gall - it was one of the first programs on a blind detective gall who solves cases. I remember one episode where he was on a container ship and wander just open areas misstep by the containers gall in the ship's bowels lowered.
Columbo, McCloud gall and McMillan - the three series about detectives with totally different approaches, in turn initially aired, but Columbo with his specific mannerisms, his tired old Peugeot and good stories have triumphed later just off the three oorgeb
