Take a unique look at the golden years of Australian
television through the eyes of people who were there.
television through the eyes of people who were there.
Throughout television history Australians have craved and embraced locally made
programs. There is, after all, an attraction to familiar settings, characters, themes, accents
and situations. Year by year, from 1963-80, you'll be taken on a journey through what
was an era of innovation, experimentation and history making events.
More than fifty contributors, among them Lorraine Bayly, Bill Peach, Jamie Redfern
and John-Michael Howson, reminisce about their lives and programs that took them into
our living rooms and hearts.
Via their associations with Mr. Squiggle, The Sullivans, Homicide, Young Talent
Time, Adventure Island, Number 96, Skippy and twelve more Australian television
classics, these icons and unsung heroes are finally given the recognition they deserve - all in
one volume. Their fascinating anecdotes are accompanied by 200 rarely seen
photographs.
This is a mere sampling of our television heritage, but an overall reflection of what made us
uniquely Australian.
