He passed away on Tuesday from cancer aged 78.

We were mostly young, mostly idealistic, and we had the sort of bias that goes with that, the bias towards freedom, justice and truth." As host of This Day Tonight from 1967 to 1975, Bill Peach was the first presenter of Australia's first nightly current affairs show. What's more, he was, for a time, the face of ABC television. As The Age's Doug Aiton put it in 1990, Peach was "the first non-showbiz television star", noted for his "calm delivery, an engaging smile,[url=http://www.fieg.it/Moncler_Prezzi.asp]Moncler Prezzi[/url], a reasoned approach, and an out-of-date straight back from the forehead hairstyle". When Peach first presented This Day Tonight, another critic wrote, he was described as "the kind of man that little old ladies would like to mother".

Photo: Warren Croser The show was a launch pad for the cream of a generation of journalistic talent, among them Paul Murphy, Gerald Stone, Richard Carleton, Caroline Jones, Sonia Humphrey, Mike Willesee, George Negus, Mike Carlton and Peter Luck. While generally modest, Peach told The Uncertain Eye in a 1998 documentary that TV news and current a #file_links[D:\keywords13.txt,1,S] ffairs "invigorated democracy" in Australia. Advertisement This Day Tonight, or TDT as it quickly became known, began in an era when journalists were still generally respectful of politicians,[url=http://www.fieg.it/Scripts/salastampa_gailleria.asp]moncler uomo[/url], sometimes even eschewing questions and simply asking a minister for a statement. And, as The Age's Gordon Farrer wrote in a review of a 2007 profile of Peach on the ABC's Talking Heads, "politicians were still of [Robert] Menzies' attitude: TV was a pas #file_links[D:\keywords15.txt,1,S] sing fad,[url=http://www.fieg.it/osservatorio_argiomenti_testi.asp]moncler sito ufficiale[/url], why lower yourself to appear on it to be quizzed by those not worthy of your time or presence? Besides,[url=http://www.fieg.it/salastampa_prasidente.asp]moncler bambino[/url], they argued, journalists would only ask nasty things so why should they oblige? In response, TDT devised the empty chair strategy: ask questions of the opposition and leave an empty chair in the studio for the absent minister. Government politicians soon came to the party and a new journalism era dawned." But Australia's first national current affairs show began shakily: The Sun-Herald called it "the worst opening of any show I can remember". It featured stories on Australia's tallest buildings, prime minister Harold Holt's overseas tour, cricket, Mao Zedong and a stab at humour. Two days later, Holt complained about TDT's bias. Holt's successors had cause to loathe Talbot, the worm who became the show's mascot in 1969. Named for Talbot Duckmanton, who was general manager of the ABC, Talbot provided light relief. Duckmanton wasn't quite sure how to take this unlikely tribute,[url=http://www.soakwash.com/Canada_Goose_Parka.html]Canada Goose Parka[/url], Peach said, "but people told him it would be best if he accepted it with a sense of humour. He did". Peach was born in 1935 in the NSW Riverina town of Lockhart. He was educated at the boarding school St Stanislaus College in Bathurst, under the Vincentian order. He took a master of arts degree at St John's College, University of Sydney, where he met his future wife, Shirley. His first job was as a cadet reporter for ABC radio, and in the early 1960s he joined the exodus of talented Australians to Britain,[url=http://www.luxurygoodstore.com/Moncler_Coats.html]Moncler Coats[/url], sailing on the Bretagne. He worked for the BBC at Bush House in The Strand. "It was a fantastic adventure to go there," Peach told Aiton in 1990. "I saw the first [national] appearance of the Beatles in about 1962. We just thought that Beatles was a clever name." But when Shirley became pregnant, home beckoned. "It was hard to leave London. We weren't sure what we wanted to do. I could stay and become a producer at the BBC. We had a flat in Primrose Hill that cost seven and a half guineas a week." Peach joined the newly created Channel Ten and made his television debut on its opening night in April 1965, presenting a current affairs program called Telescope. "The distin #file_links[D:\keywords14.txt,1,S] guishing feature of our first program," Peach wrote later,[url=http://www.vestadesign.co.nz/Moncler_Sale.html]Moncler Sale[/url], was its extreme dullness. What's more, Ten had won its licence to become the third commercial network by promising half Australian content, which was wildly optimistic at the time when cheap American re-runs were already making their presence felt on Australian screens. "I have bitter-sweet memories of Ten," Peach wrote. "The station reacted to impending bankruptcy by slashing local production and the troops began to depart. In 1966 I joined Mike Walsh and many others in what we called the FATTY Club. #file_links[D:\keywords11.txt,1,S] It meant Finished At Ten, Thank You." Luck was with him though, and the next year he was hosting TDT. As Peach told Aiton: "I'm lucky in the sense that the big things have come along". After leaving the ABC, Peach presented documentary series on commercial television, including Holiday with Bill Peach for five years and Bill Peach's Australia. He then moved into the travel industry, starting Aircruising Australia in 1984, flying customers to remote places in Australia. In 1991 he was made a Member of the Order of Australia for service to the media and tourism. In 1975, he was awarded a Logie for outstanding contribution to television. A memoir, This Day Tonight, was published by ABC Books in 1992. He wrote a humorous column for The Sun-Herald and was travel editor of New Idea. A generation of Australians will remember Peach as a warm, reassuring presence on their screens. As his old mate Peter Luck put it in 1999: "Bill has absolutely no side whatsoever, which is more than you can say for me. You tend to judge people by the company they keep. Bill had his friends for most of his life. He's a very salt of the earth type person. Bill was very definitely my mentor. "I like all his qualities - he's very loyal and he's very discreet. He's a non-censorious character in many ways. He drinks more than I do but I swear more than he does. We both love that traditional Aussie bush humour like Dad and Dave. I guess we're both quaint remnants of an Australia - and even a television industry - that's fast disappearing." #file_links[D:\keywords12.txt,[url=http://www.myrtlewoodgallery.com/Men_Moncler_Jackets.html]Men Moncler Jackets[/url],1,S] Peach had been suffering from cancer and died at Royal North Shore Hospital early on Tuesday. He is survived by his partner Pam and his children Meredith and Stephen. Shirley died in 1997 after a long battle with cancer. Mark Sawyer
