Married for 60 years, Tom and Emily Pearson share their secrets for a happy marriage with guest presenter Ita Buttrose.

The Mike Walsh Show featured the biggest name stars from stage, screen and cultural and political life, but the show also had segments like this one about 'ordinary people'.

The Pearsons talk about living through The Great Depression.

Spoiler alert: Tom and Emily believe that the secret to a long, happy marriage is for a husband to hand his pay packet straight over to his wife before opening it!
