Featured review
TCN 9 OB Van Featured in 1959
The movie "Four Desperate Men" or "The Siege Of Pinchgut" while B grade and enjoyable has some great Sydney Locations.
I have worked and still am currently employed by TCN Channel 9. I started in 1979 about twenty years after the making of the movie.
41 years later working for Nine at Media Hub and this is my first viewing of the movie.
TCN 9 went on air on September 16th 1956 (The first television station in Australia to go on-air) and the first OB Van (Outside Broadcast Van) which is featured for a brief moment in the movie. The OB Van was used mainly used for transmission of Horse Racing remotes.
