====''Caravan Holiday''==== In the Christmas break between the first and second seasons of ''Young Talent Time'', Johnny Young and the Young Talent Team shot a 22-minute colour film. (At the time, ''Young Talent Time'' still screened in [[black and white television|black and white]] on Australian television.) Sponsored by the Caravan Trade & Industries Association ''Caravan Holiday'' was completed by early 1972 and released in cinemas across Australia as a supporting feature to [[Peter Bogdanovich]]'s hugely popular US comedy picture ''[[What's Up, Doc? (1972 film)|What's Up, Doc?]]'' which starred [[Barbra Streisand]] and [[Ryan O'Neal]]. The cast featured the then-current line-up of the Young Talent Team (Jamie Redfern, Rod Kirkham, Greg Mills, Philip Gould, Julie Ryles, Debbie Byrne, Vikki Broughton and Jane Scali) prior to Redfern's departure to tour the US with [[Liberace]]. Despite not appearing in the film, new team member Trevor Hindmarch turned up to the premiere, as seen in the documentary ''Young Talent Time Tells All''. It featured actor/comedian Buster Fiddess (as Mr Crawley) and Addie Black, and guest appearances by Johnny Young (in multiple cameos as a service station attendant, farmer, caravan site manager and speedboat lake), [[Evie Hayes]] and [[John Farnham]] (then known as Johnny Farnham) as himself. Fiddess died just a few days after he finished filming his scenes. There was also a film clip made for the Young Talent Team's version of [[The Cowsills]]' hit song ''[[The Rain, The Park and Other Things]]'', shot in Melbourne's [[Royal Botanic Gardens, Melbourne|Royal Botanic Gardens]], but despite not appearing on the actual recording, being recorded prior to their recruitment, Mills and Ryles appeared in the clip. It screened on television just once, on Christmas Eve 1972. It was then unseen for three decades until a restored version was featured as a bonus extra on the 2002 DVD ''Young Talent Time: The Collection'' (Universal Pictures - 2002). In the opening credit sequence, Jane Scali's surname is misspelt as Scarli.
