Ask the Leyland Brothers

[NP99]

What a blast from the past that show is :)

Watching it this morning, I noticed 2 things

1. All the men are slim.....how we have all got fat as a generation!

2. They showed the Moree mud event ....the oh&s Nazi's would have had a field day with all the dodgy practices :)

[threedogs]

Nothing there NP99,,,,, but wait till you see footage of their Cape York trip.
same issues

[BigRAWesty]

Spot on about ohs. We have gone over the top imo.
Were fighting the Darwin affect...

[threedogs]

They inspired generations of aussies to get out there and explore.
One trip they did they imported new 31" fatties for a trip, no airing down nothing and shredded
two tyres. They explored in Kombis early Jeep , F100 and land rover.
They covered most places we can only dream of

[NP99]

Yeah, they were the fore fathers to a lot of stuff...3am television brings back a lot of old shows :)

[P4trol]

I searched YouTube and came across about two Leyland bros videos.

Where can I see more?

[oncedisturbed]

Went to the leyland Brothers world when I was a kid when it was still open. Was a great place with heaps ti do

[janderson]

Anyone remember Australia's first television environment program, Nature Walkabout(1967) with Vincent Serventy. He travel Australia with his young family in a Land-rover. And way before the Leyland Brothers.

I remember malcom douglas.......yeh ok I seen a few Leyland brothers

[growler2058]

The Leyland Bros filmed a sprite add at a mate of mines property up at Kanmantoo (SA). They were funny buggers

[boots]

Thanks for the reminder NP99, they were great . My fav as a boy was Malcolm Douglas and as a young bloke enjoyed Ben Dark in the statesman . Liked Bens story tellin about Aus history and the explorers. At the same time as Ben I had a HZ 1 tonner as my set of wheels with a V8 and loved the open road so yeah ..fun times .

[NP99]

Let's not forget the original danger man......Alby Mangles :)

Ahh that's one of the first I use to watch,,geez some of the women he had on his trips,,bloody lucky man..

[macca]

And Ted Egan in his Sigma.

All those blokes had great shows giving us a taste for travel.

Enjoyed Alby but he treated those around him as consumable. Once he was done with them he ditched them, that hot chick from Sale of the Century was one and a young bloke that owned a boat that caught fire was another.

But that leather bikini....

I remember he drove a half cab boat from Vic to Tassie with 44s on board for the extra fuel etc

[P4trol]

So where can one find episodes?

[Gecko17]

Yep, always heard about the Leyland brothers but have never seen a single episode. Would be great to see.

I got given a series called " The Bush Tucker Man" . Was about a Major in the Aussie army, who travelled all over the best parts of aus, showing not only the most spectacular scenery but also how to live off the land.

That was Jack Absalom in the sigma,
Got a couple if vids of his, he used to recommend running high pressures in the tyres so you didn't get a blowout!

[macca]

Was it jack in the sigma. Thanks for that. Long time ago.
Did he play the drum rhythm on the beer carton or Ted

If it's taken you that long to find a place to say it you mustn't have been paying much attention! bahahahaha

[threedogs]

Alby nearly killed Judy Green in Sth America, Boy was she hot in the Flesh, Used to come by our local pub now and again 10/10'
Liked Malcolm Douglas was great. I like the bare foot bush man David Eirland
Alby had a ratty G60 when he crashed

Judy Green, only 10 TD?

[threedogs]

Mate she dressed to kill She always wore this chamois top laced up with leather strips ,ooh better stop getting a visual.
When she recovered she went into body building, but wore the scars from the accident, she was a top chick, ok 11/10

[macca]

Photos, you know the rules

[threedogs]

Only knew here to say hello that's all, I wish I did have photos. on everyones dream list.
I have no idea whats judy is up to these days, would love to know

[Cuppa]

Yeah Ted Egan plays the beer carton. Top bloke I reckon. Saw him perform at Port Fairy before he became NT Governor. He co wrote & performed a musical about the convict days. Was really good stuff.
Alby Mangels went down in my estimation after the RSPCA raided his property somewhere in Vic & found a heap of malnourished horses.
Shame about Malcolm Douglas’ death, I believe it was a turbo timer which killed him. A bloke I know from Broome was lucky enough to spend time with Malcolm cruising & filming along the north Kimberley coast.
Have seen a few Leyland Brother episodes but would like to see more.

Should be on instead of the tennis (i do like short skirts though) on 7mate , a leyland brothers and Malcolm Douglas marathon , all email channel 7 :)

[threedogs]

They did stuff you would never do these days, seeing they did all their own stunts with only an 8mm camera.
the daughter was hot.

[macca]

Think Alby was rereleasing his movies and Judy Green was on ACA a bit upset as she didn't get paid for her part originally and here he was making more out of them not paying her a thing.
Not a 100 on that though.

[threedogs]

Sounds right, there were a few episodes recently with Alby as an old dude.
Hope he never cried poor with his huge Cataraman and planes,

[NP99]

Both blondes were called Judy....

[GQ TANK]

We used love watching the brothers when I was growing up

[NP99]

Those shows also did a lot of how to articles that value added, unlike the crap we get today!
