Ray Martin

A Hungarian child music prodigy survives the Holocaust, finds peace in Australia and for more than 50 years makes an extraordinary contribution to its culture.

In this 1998 pilot which was never aired on Australian television, John Safran demonstrates the innovative talent he is capable of. The program is essentially a magazine-style presentation of social rebellion and challenge to Australian institutions. In what has become the most famous (and litigious) incident, Safran and A Current Affair 'victim' Shane Paxton rummage through Ray Martin's garbage, and are soon approached by an angry Martin and his wife.

Each week, three famous Australians will pair up with either their parent or their adult child, ready to put years of family knowledge to the test.
