It was the first studio in the world to be purpose built for one television show and one star. The show was In Melbourne Tonight, and the star was Graham Kennedy. For over four decades, it has been the heart and soul of many of Australias best loved and longest running light entertainment programs. This archival documentary looks back at all the laughs and memories associated with this legendary television production hub with a nostalgic tribute featuring Graham Kennedy, Bert Newton, Joff Ellen, Rosie Sturgess, Don Lane, Denise Drysdale, Paul Hogan, Ernie Sigley, Frankie J Holden, Eddie McGuire, Sam Newman and John Farnham. There is also a stunning array of top-flight international stars including Dolly Parton, Chubby Checker, Helen Reddy, Jerry Lee Lewis, Ella Fitzgerald, Neil Diamond, Olivia Newton-John, Sammy Davis Jr, Phyllis Diller, Robin Williams, John Travolta, The Two Ronnies, Dame Edna Everage and Dudley Moore.
