Described as `one of the ABC´s small but very bright diamonds´, Scope was also one of the longest-lived and not-infrequently-reviled shows on ABC Radio. It kicked off in April 1958 and ran until early 1976, mostly under the guidance of `frequently-dishevelled, wild-eyed´ producer, Donald Ingram-Smith. A magazine show devoted to exploring a new theme each week, Scope included opinion pieces and interviews, and employed a sometimes-satirical tone. One of ABC Talk´s junior producers in the early 60s was Barry Anthony. Especially for The Night Air´s summer season, Mr Anthony presents a selection of six typical editions of Scope in a new series entitled Reviewing Scope. This week the theme is Disintegration in Society - a programme which includes Mr Anthony's own account of the notorious July 1964 'klaviercide incident' in which Scope was roundly chastised for apparently reporting the massacre of innocent pianos in Hobart's main public square. And in our second hour, English sound artist, Vicki Bennett, otherwise known as People Like Us constructs a wobbly edifice of popular and unpopular contemporary music in the 'avant retard show', Do Or DIY, originally broadcast on the legendary free form radio station, WFMU in New Jersey. This week featured artists include Maladroit, Fred Kinglee and Die King Kols, Stock Hausen and Walkman, Miguel Painem, The Hollyridge Strings, The Nihilist Spasm Band, C. Spencer Yeh, The Comedian Harmonists, 7u?, The Beach Boys, Nurse with Wound and Roger Roger.
