==Anniversary specials== ===Tenth Anniversary special=== On 19 April 1997, a special episode was aired to celebrate ''Rage''{{'}}s tenth anniversary. It included a selection, by year, of some of the clips that had aired on ''Rage'' in the past ten years. It also included some footage of Guest Programmers from over the years. It was repeated later that year on 20 December. ===Twentieth Anniversary special=== ''Rage''{{'}}s 20th anniversary occurred during April 2007. Each Saturday night, they played videos from an era in ''Rage''{{'}}s history as well as ''immortals'' (clips that were not around during the particular years but which were important and influential videos) some of which were introduced by Guest programmers. Each week was introduced by some special footage and ended with a ''[[Star Wars]]''-style crawl saying which years would be featured the next week (except obviously the last week in which the crawl thanked everyone), and then an exploding [[birthday cake]]. It also featured stock footage of each year featured, summarising that year. It also featured a special theme song. The following is a breakdown of what was shown week by week: β * Week 1 (7 April) ** [[Tex Perkins]], the only man to Guest Program ''Rage'' four times introduces the special ** clips from 1987 to 1991 * Week 2 (14 April) ** The "Godfather" of ''Rage'' (its original [[Executive Producer]] Mark Fitzgerald) explains how the show got started and explains the theme song.

The nation celebrated with a week of programming including two specially produced documentaries which explored the Australian experience of watching the show. The first celebrated the history of ''Rage'' and explored its influence on Australian music and culture. The program featured a plethora of musical talent and songs from across the decades, musicians whose work has been a mainstay of ''Rage'' but who were also viewers themselves. The second, ''Songs from the Red Couch: 30 Years of Guests Rage Programmers'', delved into the archives to relive some classic moments from the studio. Out of the thousands of songs programmed by their guests over the years a few have been chosen multiple times.
