    What a crock of shit. Dumb yanks showing a bus ticked saying 40 cents
    instead of shillings. Stock footage of Sydney Harbour Bridge when beach
    is in Adelaide. Doco came out a few months before Somerton Man was
    identified. Why didn't they burn all copies?

    You sure you are talking about the SBS ?

    Dont get any hits on the SBS site.

    There were a couple of Australian Story eps on the ABC about him tho.

    I think it was part of a series they've been showing on SBS
    or SBS Viceland, presented by an actor from The Matrix. Here it is
    on IMDB:
    https://www.imdb.com/title/tt18376106/

    They showed ads for it, but I didn't watch it myself. Other
    episodes of that show have disappointed me already.

    It's yet another example of 15min of content stretched out to 1Hr of
    viewing time. Long live PVRs!

    Yeah, thanks for that. I should have used the advanced
    google search on that site and not the SBS search.

    The somertom man one isnt too bad apart from the stuffups that Ozix mentioned.
