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:
“Every notable advance in technique or organization has to be paid for, and in most cases the debit is more or less equivalent to the credit. Except of course when it’s more than equivalent, as it has been with universal education, for example, or wireless, or these damned aeroplanes. In which case, of course, your progress is a step backwards and downwards.”
—Aldous Huxley (1894–1963)
“Twenty or thirty years ago, in the army, we had a lot of obscure adventures, and years later we tell them at parties, and suddenly we realize that those two very difficult years of our lives have become lumped together into a few episodes that have lodged in our memory in a standardized form, and are always told in a standardized way, in the same words. But in fact that lump of memories has nothing whatsoever to do with our experience of those two years in the army and what it has made of us.”
—Václav Havel (b. 1936)
