The second episode entitled "She's Leaving Home" of this Australian TV series concentrates on Australian female singers which of course includes Olivia! They show several clips from the 60s and early 70s including Bandstand, a black and white What Is Life and Banks Of The Ohio from Disco 72 and Let Me Be There.

Included there's a short interview with Pat and Olivia shortly after they were forced to leave England when Pat's Visa ran out. You can see that they were very disappointed and annoyed at the British authorities who kept them waiting for their decision for 11 months.

The clips are interspersed with current interviews from Olivia along with Pat Farrar (Carroll), John Farrar, Helen Reddy, Judith Durham of the Seekers, old boyfriend Ian Turpie, previous manager Roger Davies and writer of Physical Steve Kipner.

This series was also released on DVD in Australia only.
