Countdown is present at the USA premiere of Grease. Molly Meldrum says hi to Olivia as she is entering the theatre. It is very crowded, full of reporters but Olivia sees Molly and sweetly introduces John Travolta to him. Molly interviews guests going into the premiere. Countdown also shows the video (from the movie) of you're the One That I want which Molly claims is a world premiere.

In a separate interview Molly talks to John Farrar. John wrote Hopelessly Devoted To You first and because the producers liked it they asked him to write the duet You're The One That I Want for Olivia and John Travolta. Olivia takes more lines in the duet than John Travolta because some parts of the song were very high for a man - something I've always wondered about. John Farrar also praises Olivia's voice and mentions how this has improved particularly in the last 18 months.

Some outtakes from this where Olivia falls off her chair.
