Guest stars edit

Guests included Sam Newman, who is a personality on the rival Channel Nine network, Molly Meldrum before he signed a contract with Seven, and Dr. Harry Cooper who in promos was told he would reveal his full self by taking off his hat, but in the show he never did. The American talk show host Jerry Springer also made a guest appearance.
