I have a whole collection of TV guides from the 60s and 70s. I KNOW I've seen listings for Back of Bourke but every time I try to find them again, they're not there. I even took photos of one of the listings to prove it existed. But when I got the photos developed, they showed a different show entirely. The really weird thing? My wife remembers watching these episodes with me when we first got together week. But we can't agree if they were in black and white or color. Or what decade they were from. Or what they were about.

I've been digitising old Australian TV shows for years. Every time I try to capture Back of Bourke episodes from VHS, something weird happens: - Computer crashes right after the intro sequence - Audio plays but video shows different content and then switches off entirely - Files save but play a different show entirely, one time just static, one time just Neighbours (LOL) - File sizes change constantly - Sometimes files exist, sometimes they don't but even when they're there they're not readable The weirdest part? When I check my VHS tapes after failed captures, I can't find them. The VHS I thought were them have changed to different shows.

update on the tapes: tried watching them again but our vcr started acting weird?? like it just plays a timestamp also the episodes seem different every time we watch?? and my grandpa swears some scenes happened in a different order but we're watching the same tape?? my mum just came in and asked why we're staring at static but we can see the show perfectly clear?? EDIT: the tapes are gone. like literally gone. the box is still there but its full of home movies now. but im SURE they were back of bourke episodes yesterday???

Does anyone remember what time slot the show was in? I have recordings labeled "Tuesday 8:30" but also "Thursday 8:30" and "Sunday 8:30" - all supposedly from the same week. My TV guide from that week shows different programs in all those slots. But I KNOW I taped Back of Bourke. I remember doing it. I remember everything about recording these episodes except... what year was it? What network was it on? Why do all my labels show the same time?

Just found a photo from when I was a kid - it shows our family watching TV and you can clearly see Back of Bourke on the screen! Finally, proof! Wait. The photo just... changed? Now it's showing a different program. I just showed my sister and she says it's always been a photo of us playing Monopoly. But I JUST saw Back of Bourke on that TV screen. I'm sure of it.

Hey, my sister and I working on a podcast about Back of Bourke (search podcast apps if interested). We are in the middle of finding some interesting stuff, we think that maybe our Great Aunt worked on this show. Should be fun!
