The Late Show Episode Guide v0.003 (long)
Paul Cowan
Hi all,
As promised, here's a slightly newer version of the perilously-close-
to-permanently-stalled Late Show Episode Guide.
All contributions welcome, anyone who can shore up episode dates and
numbers would be a great help. I lost a couple of versions of the file,
if anyone' contributions are missing, I apologise: please re-send them.
Apologies for the 'S' and 'H' keys on my keyboard behaving oddly, any
references to 'The Late Sow' are accidental (I think I got them all
out).
I have numbered the mid-season 'best of' from 1992 as '18a', as it
came before the last 2 eps. I believe we agreed last time there were
two of these, the other will be numbered '10a' (or whatever) depending
on where it goes.
Robs, I believe you know the internal numbering system used by the
prodduction staff? If so, let me know, I'll include that.
Season 2 'Best Of's 1 and 2, and the episodes numbered here a
93-13, 93-14, 93-17 and 93-18, I have on tape, just haven't gotten
around to doing full catalogues.
Enjoy.
Paul

Nope, I pass that question on to Joe. :)
The only thing I've gathered is the Season terminology... Season 1 was the
first 10 eps in 1992, Season 2 was the second 10 eps. I think Season 3 was
all 20 from 1993. This is why I now tend to prefer to call them Season 92
and Season 93 to avoid confusion.
> Season 2 'Best Of's 1 and 2
You see here already there's confusion. :)
Thanks for the post... I'll now look into consolidating this with notes I've
made since then and tapes I'm still yet to review.

Was this the "I challenge the Prime Minister, I challenge Paul Keating"
interview?
Any else think of this when the current Nissan Challenge ad is played?
"well, just a general challenge"
...
"I challenge the Prime Minister to a fight with a rolled up newspaper"
