Vale Ian Parmenter (24/7/1945 - 13/4/2024)
Taken suddenly and too soon.
The Margaret River community in South Western Australia has experienced an outpouring of grief at the news of local character, foodie extraordinaire and famed broadcaster Ian Parmenter’s death.
The former ABC presenter, best known to Australian households for his Consuming Passions television show, died after suffering a heart attack.
Ian was a larger-than-life Fleet Street journalist turned chef with an all-consuming passion for WA produce and tourism, who was known for his trademark moustache and beret.
Born in London in 1945, he worked as a journalist before moving to Australia in 1971 to help then wife Janet’s chronic bronchial illness.
He joined ABC Perth in 1974, and became a television news producer and director.
He produced the first Leeuwin Concert featuring Ray Charles and the WA Symphony Orchestra for the ABC in 1988.
In 1992, he stepped in front of the camera to begin a nine-year stint hosting 450 five-minute episodes of Consuming Passions.
He also published several books, include recipe collections such as Cooking With Passion and All-Consuming Passions: Recipes Gathered From A Lifetime Of Loving Food.
Released in 2003, Sheer Bottled Bliss traced his journey as a city boy from England to rural WA where he transformed a Margaret River weekender into the award-winning Artamus winery producing 3000 bottles of chardonnay a year.
A competent musician and sportsman in his younger days, Parmenter never fancied himself as an elite chef.
But he was satisfied in his contribution to the Australian food industry, particularly when he compared his life here to what life would have been like back in his English homeland.
Ian said that he never had a plan, never.
“It’s all just stuff where I’ve seen an opportunity and I’ve gone for it. I’ve had an interesting life.”
He was awarded the Medal of the Order of Australia in 2011 for service to the food and tourism industries.

great memories
thank you, loved it
Not to be confused with WTVW in Evansville, Indiana. It too is on channel 7.
When did Australia TV go color?
This smart nobody always did think he knew everything, that is why he got a gig at the ABC
Time for an uodated version..65 yrs of changes 😅
Did she really just say Western AustraYA? FFS, what ever happened to news broadcasters who could actually speak properly? It's AustraLIA
pre brazilian invasion years.
The concert hall was opened in January 1973 so based on the stage of construction there I’m guessing this is actually a 1972 video
And now any moron can instantly transmit their own content via the tiny computer phone in their pocket.
I remember Micheal Brock from a tv series on channel 9 called Clapperboard. It was show talking about the new movies coming out at the time like Epires Strikes Back ect. The show would have fun fare of a comon man as there theme song. I was just a little kid at the time but i remember it well i loved the show. Seeing this here with peter Holland man there getting old. I guess we all are 🤗. Great area of Wa tv🤝🙏🏻
I was there in 1971 and the incense smelled pungent 🔥Two thousand young Christians God bless ya Dean Hazlewood 🙏
Kerry Stokes is a cancer on this country.
I grew up in Perth and we always watched and donated to the Telethon. I always asked dad if I could stay up late to watch it.
Interesting video, but please have someone read the script instead of using an AI voice.
Whaaaat ? World Wrestling was choreographed way back then ?
Brilliant Doc ,Very proud of Perth and Australia
When perth was a nicer place. Give me a time machine.
I also remember working for a number of years at the Telethon, to assist with operational tasks on loan from GWN as I was a Tape Operator and Presentation Co-Ordinator there in the 80's and 90's. Great times then, where it was all tape and film, not Digital files and folders and PC's. Everything was switched live to air and when things went wrong, it was easier to recover and get back on air.

Fifty years ago I think I walked up every set of stairs and every lift downtown Perth selling Royal Typewriters. It was my first job when I came to Australia. The world has changed so much since.
Hottie news reporter.
what the hell
@@robloxflightnoobam I wrong? 😂
Legend - loved your work Ian ...
Gee he looks good here! He has aged soooo much and it was only 8 years ago!
Now everywhere smells like Indian curry shit.
I was just thinking about a babies ability to survive a fall. Its down to limp falling i thought. Ill see if youtube has anything on the subject
Brian Burke has ALWAYS sucked, then! Haha
Thank you for uploading this amazing historic film
Great
The decision makers are insensitive and need their hand forced before they entertain common sense and passion. The funding required needs to be perceived as a cheap fallback position before it succeeds. Treat them like the bullies that they are, with an expensive bruising before negotiating. You must burst their plans in a way that's beyond a patch to make your proposal their only golden bridge exit.
For my womaaaaaaaaaaaaaannnn geniales The Thorts

Sad to see it go sad day
Perth is a dump now and so are most other cities in Australia.
The world is a dump john ..better in Perth than most places
@@ACDZ123 No there are plenty of places which are nice and which are not a dump. You obviously haven't travelled.
@@johnm84 I have, but go on . List a couple of your favourites ..
@@ACDZ123 I have travelled to plenty of places. Two places I have been to which are very lovely and are very nice are Japan and Singapore.
@johnm84 Singapore?? Ha ha been there twice . Nice to visit..couldn't live there if you paid me ..Japan, like Singapore, o overcrowded, chance of getting buried in earthquakes..yeah nah ,Perth still winning for me ..but I respect your preferences
Best to just mute it.
What was the signature music that John Juan played just about every morning on 6WF breakfast radio? It was some nautical music. I was only young at the time but it has never left my head. If any one can remember what the orchestral piece was called it would really appreciated.
Marvellous memories of wonderful people. Old 7 = NEW 10.
Loved listening to Wattsie and Martin each morning on Perth radio. Never missed it, always gave me a laugh to start the day.
Wattsie a legend of the Mighty Royals, I remember one of his best lines, it still gives me a smile today. He said he had a heavy duty license, he was licensed to carry 17 other players in his team. "🙂 🙂
Fascinating, thanks for posting. 👍
Now it just smells like urine and is full of traffic and asians
Sadly most of this fantastic equipment got scrapped or fell into private hands and will never see the light of day again let alone be sold to people who could still use them.
'And then if you're not happy with what you're seeing, you don't like it, or if it frankly bores you, put the switch to off.' Someone should have quoted Sir Dallas Brooks, at the opening of Channel 9 in Melbourne, to those crackpots who complained to Channel 2 about the interview between Libbi Gorr, as 'Elle McFeast' and Mark 'Chopper' Read. They might have thought their behavior was appropriate, perhaps they even deliberately intended it to damage her career, but I think of them as being among the cane toads of the human race
Great video - Could you point me to any info about VHS on-tape colour under encoding systems please?
Just marvellous. A wealth of history and memories. Our world is so ephemeral. Joy and sadness. Many thanks. 🍂🍃🌈
my aunty was an usherette there for many years...loved getting in for free as a kid!!!
Great job on this video. I had never seen your channel before. Took me until @16:45 to realized what the wa in watvhistory stood for!
