Fearless and Forensic: 60 Years of Four Corners (1961 - 2021)
Four Corners is the longest running show on Australian Television.
On Saturday 19th August 1961, Four Corners made its debut on Australian TV. With a staff of just six and a weekly budget of £480, the first national TV current affairs show was on the air. Originally a ‘magazine' style show made up of several stories, copies of the program were flown around the country for broadcast. Today, Four Corners is the longest running series on Australian television and a powerhouse of investigative journalism – fearless and forensic, holding power to account for 60 years.
The award-winning program has amassed 62 Walkley awards, seven of them the coveted Gold, as well as 23 Logie awards.
To mark the program's extraordinary milestone, Four Corners will broadcast a special episode with highlights from the show's six decades.
As the program travels through the decades the faces and voices of generations of reporters and hosts appear, including the likes of Michael Charlton, Michael Willesee, Caroline Jones, Paul Lyneham, Andrew Olle, Kerry O'Brien, Chris Masters, Paul Barry, Liz Jackson, Tony Jones, and Sarah Ferguson.
