Like many of you, I have vivid memories of watching a television show called Back of Bourke sometime in my childhood. I remember the feeling it gave me: unsettling, strange, compelling. I remember fragments: a man trying to leave a town, shadows that weren't quite right, stories that made me check over my shoulder.
But I have no proof it ever existed.
No footage. No TV guides with listings. No IMDB page. No Wikipedia article. The National Film and Sound Archive has no record of it. Yet when I mentioned it online, dozens of people replied saying they remembered it too.
This site exists to collect our memories - fragmented, uncertain, and often contradictory - in the hope that together we can piece together what Back of Bourke actually was. Or prove that it existed at all.
If you remember this show, you're not alone.
These are fragments people claim to remember. We don't know if these are real episodes, fever dreams, or memories bleeding together. If you remember any of these - or others - please get in touch.
Do you have ANY of the following?
• VHS recordings (even if degraded)
• TV guides with listings
• Behind-the-scenes photos
• Crew or cast information
• Scripts or production documents
• Old newspaper articles mentioning the show
• ANYTHING that proves this show existed
Did you work on this show? Did someone in your family?
Were you involved in any way?
