The program that made television history for all the wrong reasons – Australia’s Naughtiest Home Videos – will screen in its entirety on Thursday, August 28 at 8.30pm on Channel Nine.

In 1992, Australia’s Naughtiest Home Videos, hosted by top-rating radio personality Doug Mulray, was controversially pulled from air in mid-telecast following a call from enraged Nine Network owner, Kerry Packer. While viewers were told of “technical difficulties”, the program was replaced by an episode of Cheers and Australia’s Naughtiest Home Videos was never seen again … until now.

At the time the program received a mixed response, with some viewers perplexed by its removal while others were disgusted by film clips which included a couple of noisy elephants, bare bottoms, a woman with an ample chest … and the amorous antics of two kangaroos which particularly incensed Kerry Packer.
