Notable Episodes
- The show's tongue-in-cheek big-band theme song was a running joke among fans. It was performed on the main stage by Zepps and the final eight Idols, and was referenced again at the very end of the show's final episode.
- Host Josh Zepps was also a popular impressionist on Australian radio, and pranked the four finalists by phoning them with a congratulatory call "from the Prime Minister".
- On Swing Night, the show was shot in black-&-white and Zepps conducted his interviews as a 1920s swing gangster with a top hat and cigar.
- For the final episode at the Sydney Opera House, Josh Zepps arrived by swimming through Sydney Harbour fully clothed after having "accidentally" turned up at the old studios.

Famous quotes containing the words notable and/or episodes:
“In one notable instance, where the United States Army and a hundred years of persuasion failed, a highway has succeeded. The Seminole Indians surrendered to the Tamiami Trail. From the Everglades the remnants of this race emerged, soon after the trail was built, to set up their palm-thatched villages along the road and to hoist tribal flags as a lure to passing motorists.”
—For the State of Florida, U.S. public relief program (1935-1943)
“What is a novel if not a conviction of our fellow-men’s existence strong enough to take upon itself a form of imagined life clearer than reality and whose accumulated verisimilitude of selected episodes puts to shame the pride of documentary history?”
—Joseph Conrad (1857–1924)
