- Sweet and Sour was an Australian television series that screened on the Australian Broadcasting Corporation (ABC) in 1984.[1] It was created by Tim Gooding and Johanna Pigott[2][3] and was produced internally for the ABC by Jan Chapman.[4][5]
The main storyline of the series followed the efforts of a fictional band, The Takeaways, to break into the Sydney music scene. "The Takeaways have so far eluded commercial success. However, negotiations are presently underway for the band to sell their story to a prominent TV station, and really clean up."[6]
In mid-1983 Sydney a band called The Takeaways is formed. Initially it consists of Carol Howard, Martin Kabel and George Poulopoulos.[7]
Carol Howard (Tracy Mann)[7] is an attractive vocalist and novice guitarist from Melbourne; she had pursued an acting career with little success but is now focussed on her music. Carol wrote her first song on the train to Sydney.
Martin Kabel (David Reyne)[7] is an established, albeit unsuccessful, guitarist who wants to branch out from his current band: he would like to sing his own songs. Martin gets his chance with The Takeaways.
George Poulopoulos (Arky Michael)[7] is more interested in playing soccer for the Combined Hellenic Travel Agents but reluctantly joins to play bass. He learns how to play at the band's first practice session; slowly he overcomes his shyness to become a confident performer.
Darrell Winters (Ric Herbert)[7] sees a quick dollar to be made as their manager; Darrell talks the talk and tries to walk the walk. He sets out to organise their first gig: a backyard barbecue! Fortunately better gigs followed in various Sydney pubs.
Their first jam sessions are in an old boot factory.
One of the most unknown, brilliant songs of all time.
ABC was legendary at that time of night. HOME series, Monkey Magic, Goodies ,DR Who, sweet and sour any others ive forgotten please add them
Was at boarding school when this was on ABC. One show we all watched in the common room tv as it was straight after study time at night. We never missed it.
Chocky.
All great series ❤
That was my era also. I remember loving this series and the music as a kid. You forgot Kenny Everett, battle of the planets.
@@Johnny_Thunder how did I forget Kenny
there aren't enough thumbs up in the world for this upload...thank you.
Атмосферное❤❤❤!!! Где то на берегах неизведанных Земель! От нас многое скрывается!😊
Lovely. My sweet 80's . GO Aussies!! :-)
I absolutely loved this show. I wish they'd put it on DVD. I downloaded the soundtrack from I-Tunes already.
They did re issue the Soundtrack on CD but it's now out of print and very hard to find!!💁💕👍
@@martymcfly5434 got a sealed copy of this cd if you want it
@@dallaslane1355 Do you still have it? If so, let me know.
@@stoojinator Certainly do, Give me your address and I will post it to you
@@stoojinator certainly do
beautiful song, not too many have heard it up here in Canada
A great Aussie TV series from the 80's....!
Deborah Conway has the most beautiful, sublime voice. It was perfect for the brilliant series, Sweet and Sour. I've always loved this hypnotic, melancholy song too. Thank you for the wonderful trip down memory lane. I was only a teenager when the show first aired on tv/ABC, but I still enjoy the songs. They are soo timeless!
Beautiful memories from the 80's Sweet and Sour on the tele during the week, then head to Fairfield RSL to watch Spy v Spy
thanks for uploading this memory from the 80's
Holy shit! Shots of the old CES in the days before Centrelink! Yep...sure was the place to be!
Rock Up Hand Form In _ Man Stamps _ Check Comes Out _ What A Hoot
The Dole Queue and Dole Cheque man !!

40 bucks a week way back in the '80's lol
And shots of Flemings supermarket!
The job network really replaced the Commonwealth Employment Service, and Centrelink the Department of Social Security. I remember the CES had all the vacancies printed on card and you'd have to wander from partition to partition to find your dream job 😍 (or just sign up for fruit picking 😁)
Absolute honey x
remember it like it was yesterday. Awesome stuff.
Great song and a pretty girl.
The Greatest Song Ever Written
Pretty cool band and TV show like this chick too love the sax!
I swear the 'here at all' backing vocal at 2.21 is Sharon O'Neill's voice!
Sharon did do the backing vocals in it with Deborah Conway singing the main part. Sharon also wrote the song (as well as the title track).
Sharon was one of the song writers
Huge memories, Thanks
What a song.
Great memories
A lot of Sharon O'Neil's best songs ended up as "Takeaways" songs
peter schmidt I thought so,cheers.
Absolutely right!
Honestly such an underrated band, real or not!!! Amazing tune.
Awesome!! Sir Nicholas
Que linda 😍😍😍
The sound is beautiful...all your posts have great audio. 'spect!
Saxon Greene Beautiful epoque 80s
Cross Roxy Music with Olivia Newton John and here it is!
An anthem for all job seekers
Love it
Why did these talented people disappear from the screen? Something is surely wrong with Australian TV and music.
Got to love You Tube what a trip down memory lane. I was a young Kiwi living in Adelaide in the 80s This was from my favourite show Is she lip syncing I can def hear Sharon Oneilll in there ?
+Roger Campbell That sure is Sharon O'Neill singing. She shared singing duties with Deborah Conway. Both the actors mimed for the show
It's Cathy McQuade singing...
Its Deborah Conway and Cathy Mc Quade ( Deckchairs Overboard ) on backing _ Sharon O' Neill wrote Glam To Wham
I realise the official suggestion is that it's Cathy McQuade but sure as heck sounds like Sharon to me. Same with the song It's a game which is definitely John Clifford on the tv show (when David Reyne is singing on a Ferris Wheel) but the record is definitely Mossy (despite NO Cold Chisel website ever acknowledging it...JC is an okay singer but he's not in the class of Ian Moss!
Temazoo
Whatever happened to Sandy Lillingstone, star of Home and Away? I'd love to know...🤩?
Believe it's Cathy Mc Quade for Deckchairs Overboard providing the vocal here
Deborah Conway
nope.
@@carolynbailey5496 Deborah Conway is credited as the performer on the soundtrack on IMDB
Cathy McQuade definitely does some vocals on the album including the lead on On the street where you live...there have been many wrong credits of the songs on this album over the years (it was always obvious that Ian Moss was the vocalist on It's a game but only recently credited) and there's been more debate about this song than any other...if it is Deborah then it's the most sedated vocal she's ever done (until the last chorus of course when it's unmistakably her). Anyone familiar with the awesome Cath McQuade knows it sounds like her as well...this is the best song from either album for me...Sharon's songwriting on this project was incredible
Well make up your minds.
Ham to jam
So… who’s singing backing here? Sharon O’Neil or Cathy McQuade?
Yo mama?
Is this Deborah Conway singing despite the show wanting us to think it’s the Character Chrissie? Deborah did the actual vocals for the songs Tracey Mann performed on the show.
Vinyl....in my collection 😉
Just got Vol 1 and Vol 2 on vinyl. Mint condition (unopened). Paid $15 for each record. Absolute steal!
Had a big crush on Sandie Lillingston.. Then my mate Nick dated her in 1996.. Killed me LOL
who sang sweet n sour it was this gorgoues woman wasn't it who cares take awaways still are here and chilled out this is unkn hot love this for some resone probly cause i grew up on this
If you're talking about the song 'sweet and sour', the singer was actually Debra Conway. The actor in the TV show mimed the song
and she did this song too, and its also mimed :)
🔊🎧❤️🎼❤️🎼❤️🎧💯💯💯👍👍👍👍👍
A testimony to the 9-5.
Did Deborah Conway sing all the songs?
Is that Daphne from neighbours?
lmao
No it's Sandiie lillingston but can see resemblance
Elaine Smith played Daphne ( Neighbours )
She was in Home and Away I think
Had a crush on Sandie _ So Pretty !
BUT, WHO IS THIS GIRL?
Sandie Lillingston
@@michaelfreiberg4863 I think Paul Thomson was referring to the woman in the clip and that's Sandra Lillington. Deb is the vocalist
@@melthoidserendipity1332 Tjey had another lady for her voice I think
But why are you shouting?
thanks@@DoctorsDriveClassics
damn shes a fox
I was 15 and hated this awful, boring "band". God they were bad.
