About the episode
From Popstars to Australian Idol, music reality TV promised to turn ordinary singers into national icons — but what was the real price of fame? Judges Ian “Dicko” Dickson and Mark Holden lift the lid on the controversies, iconic moments, and impact that reality TV had on Australia’s music industry. And former contestants Casey Donovan and Rob “Millsy” Mills reveal the toll of overnight fame, and what happens when the spotlight moves on. The Moment it Changed: Touchdown is Hosted by Nic Kelly.
