    Children's pantomime-style series about the characters from the Kingdom of Diddley-Dum-Diddley.
    CreatorsJohn-Michael HowsonGodfrey PhilippFilmstarsSue McIntoshNancy CatoLiz Richardson Harris
    Mentioned on a segment of the ABC TV arts programme The Mix (17/04/2016), with relation to an exhibition of ABC TV programmes which aired between (from memory), 1964 and 1974.
  • The Adventures of Long John Silver (1956)

    2. The Adventures of Long John Silver

    1956–195726 FolgenFernsehserie
    7,0 (194)
    Swashbuckling hat für das Fernsehen Episoden mit 'Legende' Robert Newton als Long John Silver und argh 'Jim Larrd' gemacht, die viele neue Abenteuer erleben.
    FilmstarsRobert NewtonConnie GilchristKit Taylor
    Very surprised to see this was an Australian tv show! Stumbled upon this reference on the website classicaustraliantv.com. Apparently Australia's first ever tv series! The site says, in part:

    "The first television series to be produced in Australia was made before we had television. The Adventures Of Long John Silver was a 26 episode, half-hour series made for the English and American markets...It is somewhat ironic that this should be Australia's first television series".
  • Die Abenteuer der Seaspray (1966)

    3. Die Abenteuer der Seaspray

    1966– 33 FolgenFernsehserie
    8,3 (88)
    The story centred on widowed journalist Dan Wells, who is sailing the Pacific with on his 25-metre schooner "Seaspray", with his three children Mike, Noah and Sue, assisted by their Fijian crewman.
    FilmstarsSusanne HaworthGary GrayLeoni Lesinawi
    I've got this in my Australian dramas list...Wikipedia not that informative about what its target audience was, but a link to another site describes it as a "family" series, so I'll include it here...where perhaps it most belongs...?
  • 4. The Adventures of Sebastian the Fox

    196313 FolgenFernsehserie
    The adventures of a cheeky fox who travels around Australia.
    FilmstarsLarry StevensStewart WellerBarbara Brandon
    Hmm...I wonder if this is the show I have vague memories of as a child...think I may have tried to look up this show some years ago but using a search term like "20th century fox".
  • Barrier Reef (1970)

    5. Barrier Reef

    1970–197239 FolgenFernsehserie
    8,0 (46)
    Ted King is the captain of the research vessel New Endeavor in the waters of the Great Barrier Reef. Its crew of divers and scientists study the mysteries of the ocean with the latest high tech equipment and mini submarines.
    FilmstarsJoe JamesHarold HopkinsKen James
    This came up via a link in Wikipedia to another site with information on "Adventures of the Seaspray". It's described at that other site as a "family" series, so I'll include it here too. Looking at the cast, it's notable for having famous Australian ocean photographers Ron and Valerie Taylor, who, I believe, were involved in the filming of the hit movie "Jaws". Also interestingly, it was picked up by the BBC and NBC in the USA...as well as in numerous other countries.
  • Curiosity Show (1974)

    6. Curiosity Show

    1974– 1 FolgeFernsehserie
    8,7 (89)
    Educational show with a focus on science projects for children to make at home.
    FilmstarsAlan FarwellPatsy BiscoeDeane Hutton
    "I'm glad you asked!".

    Apparently the hosts of this interesting educational/science series have brought the rights to this show and now have a You Tube channel devoted to it. Aimed at teenagers, I'd say.

    Here's their You Tube channel:

    https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCZ9oDWliqkUxGHsKVbkwQOw

    Wikipedia mentions that the format was picked up in the U.S. and had young hosts, as the network didn't believe that middle-aged hosts would rate well...even though it did in Australia. The U.S. version was called "3-2-1 contact".

    I was very surprised to learn that the Australian show was a spin-off from "Here's Humphrey"!! Their segment was introduced as "Humphrey B Bear's curiosity show".

    The Australian show also won "the coveted Prix Jeunesse in 1984, voted by peers from around the world as the best factual program for children".

    Not sure if this show created the catchphrase "here's one I prepared earlier".
  • 7. Demonstrations in Physics

    1969Fernsehserie
    8,8 (37)
    American scientist Julius Sumner Miller hosts an educational science series produced in Australia and performs a variety of experiments involving various disciplines in the world of physics.
    FilmstarJulius Sumner Miller
    Another Pr. Julius Sumner Miller title. Makes me think: Boy, they don't make shows like this any more, do they?

    Wikipedia states:

    This program was a series of 45 shows (approximately 15 minutes each).

    8. Fat Cat and Friends

    1990–20112 FolgenFernsehserie

    Suggested by JeiceWarrior.

    Wikipedia states:

    "Debuted 29 October 1956, the series aired live on Sydney station TCN-9...The series was aimed at children from ages four to twelve".
  • 10. Gerry Gee's Jamboree

    195845mFernsehspecial
    According to a TV listing, this was a variety special featuring ventriloquists and their dolls.
    FilmstarRon Blaskett
    I can't find a listing for the "The happy hour" spin-off starring the ventriloquist doll of this name, "The Adventures of Gerry Gee "
  • The Girl from Tomorrow (1991)

    1991–199224 FolgenFernsehserie
    7,9 (1394)
    In the year 3000, Alana is kidnapped by evil Silverthorn, after a time travel experiment goes wrong. He takes Alana to the year 1990. With the help of Jenny Kelly and family, Alana must find Silverthorn before the time capsule leaves.
    FilmstarsKatharine CullenMelissa MarshallJames Findlay
    Hadn't heard of this series until someone started lobbying for it to be included in my live poll on the best Australian mini-series of all time.
  • The Girl from Tomorrow (1992)

    12. The Girl from Tomorrow

    19921h 44mFernsehfilm

She must convince people of this time period that she is not crazy and that the criminal from the future must be stopped before he tries to take over everything.
    RegisseurKathy MuellerFilmstarsKatharine CullenMelissa MarshallJames Findlay
    Not exactly sure where this movie fits in...a sequel? A movie length adaptation of the original tv series?
  • 13. The Happy Go Lucky Show

    1957–1959Fernsehserie
    Guests, competitions and other segments.
    FilmstarsHappy HammondBob HorsfallPat McCormack
    Wikipedia states that the original title was "The happy show", which this site doesn't list. It changed its name later to "The Tarax show", after its sponsor.
  • Here's Humphrey (1965)

    FilmstarsAnthony O'DonohueHumphrey B. BearTony Balzan

    7,3 (289)

    FilmstarsIan 'Molly' MeldrumDaryl SomersRussell Gilbert
    Incorrect title on this site...it's "Hey, hey, it's Saturday".

    Originally started as a children's programme but later morphed into an early evening institution...something adults would watch before going out for the night.
  • 16. It's Academic

    1961– 8 FolgenFernsehserie
    8,0 (22)
    A weekly quiz game featuring three teams of high school students from their respective schools. Each team had three members, one of whom was captain. Each game consisted of four rounds. In the first three rounds, teams answered questions one team at a time. A packet of ten question would be chosen from twenty packets by a captain of one of the other two teams, and play would proceed. In the first round, teams would be awarded ten points for a correct answer with no penalty for an incorrect answer. A team could pass if it couldn't come up with an answer, in which case one of the other two teams could try to answer at the end of the round. In the second round, teams would still be awarded ten points for a correct answer, but would be penalized ten points for an incorrect answer and five points if they passed on a question. In the third round, teams had the option of doubling point values. If they accepted (and almost always did), they would be awarded 20 points for a correct answer, penalized 20 points for an incorrect answer and ten points for a passed question. There was a two-minute time limit for each team. If a team answered all ten questions correctly, a 50-point bonus was awarded. The final round was known as the grab bag, a three-minute free-for-all in which anyone from any team could respond. A correct answer was worth 20 points, with a 20-point penalty for a wrong answer.
    FilmstarsMac McGarryKatie BuennekeAsher Morse
    I can't find the listing for the first Australian edition of this show, which Wikipedia states:

    "An Australian version of the show aired on Network Ten and the Seven Network from 1968–1975, and was revived by Seven's Perth affiliate in 2001. Seven took the show national in 2005".

    I do remember a very funny parody of this show by The D-Generation...with VERY dumb student contestants!

    The show was best remembered for the face (made up of just eyes, eyebrows, nostrils and mouth) on a blue screen that appeared occasionally during the program. The actress who played the part of 'the face' was Di Kidd".
