Can't wait to see it, only problem is I don't have foxtel and I don't know how they work? Will it also be broadcast onto free to air tv one day? Or maybe after it has aired on Foxtel do they let people view these shows for free online?
I wouldn't mind to see all of them but I would really like to see the first episode with the Victa story.
I'll be looking out for you CyberJack in that story! Great stuff mate!

Sounds like a good use of their 10 day foxtel now free trial - just wait until after all episodes are released, start trial, watch any bits of interest and cancel subscription
Hi Jack,
It was very tongue in cheek, I know somebody has to pay, and free to air picks up the big advertising dollars and then what you get is a lot of rubbish. I often turn the telly off about 8.00pm as there is nothing worth watching. I have the open fire here and my wife has the Foxtel her end of the house and far be it from me to ruffle her feathers. I guess I will be watching the History channel with her while these shows are on.
I have been advised that my take on Victa did not make the final cut for the History Chanel ... alas!
But ... Northern Pictures has advised the following: -
Dear Jack,
I hope this finds you well. Firstly thank you again for flying in to participate in our shot for the Victa lawn mower last year. It was a lovely scene that you filmed with Anja Taylor discussing some of Victa's most successful advertising campaigns over the years. In the edit we had an abundance of great material for that story, and unfortunately, in the end we had to lose your scene from the final cut, purely for time. It was a shame, but that scene lives on...
We have delivered it to the network along with a number of other great scenes that couldn't make it into the final cut of the series, and the History channel will be publishing your advertising chat with Anja on its website as part of the digital extras for the show so it will be accessible to all, even people without Foxtel. You will be able to see it at the link below in the week leading up to launch on 24th June, and it will live there for a long time after that.
We have also had the publicists for Victa lawn mowers in touch, and they are keen to share that scene as part of their promotion for the show and Victa's innovative history online and on social media. Foxtel's Head of Marketing for factual channels, George Mellick, cc'ed here, has supplied them with the clip along with another cut scene and the series promo.
George, Jack Czislowski is a lawn mower historian. Could you share the Home Life promo with Jack closer to launch and let him know about other materials that might be shareable through his network or on HISTORY's facebook page etc? Thank you.
Jack, here's a link to our latest promo which is running on HISTORY for the next couple of weeks.
Sorry to hear your scene didn't make the final cut CyberJack. As long as it's saved and can be viewed somewhere on the internet it will still be great mate!
I was walking through a shopping centre earlier today and I saw an advertisement for this new show up on the big screen tv there. I think they have some sort of Foxtel channel playing most of the day as I usually see the weather reports sometimes as I walk past this screen and it's not a free to air channel but some sort of pay tv channel.
Cheers!

Hi NormK, that's ok mate, I reckon it will probably turn up somewhere on the web in a few days.
I hope they add some extra clips and stuff on their website that's free for everyone to see after this episode goes to air.
Cheers!

Interesting show Converse, too many ads, at least as many as free to air. One interesting thing was the rotary clothes hoist started being manufactured in Geelong for 30 years before the patent expired and Lance Hill did an almost exact copy of it and he got all the recognition
Not sure if the link has been posted in this topic before, but Victa have posted [url=https://www.facebook.com/VictaLawn/videos/634621913724221/]this video[/url] on their facebook (hope the link worked - i cant find another one)
Its Jack's excellent summation of Merv's advertising prowess
