== Sources for 90's Australian children game show Challenger ==

Hi, I'm looking for reliable sources for [[Challenger (game show)]]. There doesn't actually seem to be any surviving news archives in any repositories I can find, mostly because the archives of the major newspapers aren't digitized up to the 90's. There is an [https://www.dailymail.co.uk/tvshowbiz/article-3236045/Sylvia-Jeffreys-stars-Channel-Nine-s-children-s-game-Challenger-just-years-morning-news-anchor.html article] in The Daily Mail about how [[Sylvia Jeffreys]] was a contestant on the show, but (a) I understand Daily Mail is a banned source and (b) the article doesn't go any deeper than to say she was on the show and to describe two of her scenes on her episode, saying nothing about the general format of the show. Failing that, would it be appropriate to reference some of the episodes that have surfaced on YouTube (as references for the format)? --[[User:Reader781|Reader781]] ([[User talk:Reader781|talk]]) 05:16, 7 April 2021 (UTC)
:[[User:Reader781|Reader781]], I would suggest starting with [https://link.gale.com.wikipedialibrary.idm.oclc.org/apps/doc/A104126414/STND?u=wikipedia&sid=STND&xid=70ae197c this], and then looking at other potential references from that source.

Finding the right sources to improve an article


Ask a Research Question


How this works: If you want to improve an article, but you don't know what sources to use or how or where to find them, ask a question here. Try to be specific about the article or subject you're working on and link to it if possible. Mention what kind of access to libraries you have, as what source you use might depend on what source you can actually get. Please sign your posts with ~~~~

In the right place?
