Wedged between David Bowie's Adelaide and Melbourne concerts in 1983, the singer made an unannounced appearance on The Don Lane Show to a stunned audience and awed host.
The interview took place at the now heritage listed GTV 9 Studios in Richmond - and Bowie was greeted with a riotous applause.
As Bowie explained, he was around the corner having dinner when he realised that Lane was filming what was being billed as the final show of his long standing talk show. Bowie thought that "someone had made a big mistake" and made his way across to the studio.
