Format
Two regional versions based on the original 1950s US format aired nearly concurrently – one aired on ATN-7 in Sydney, hosted by Bruce Beeby and later Keith Walshe from 1957 to 1959; the other was on GTV-9 in Melbourne and hosted by Geoff Manion in 1958.[1] The latter version debuted 10 August 1958,[2] airing for 16 episodes on Sundays at 5:30PM. After it ended, the timeslot was taken up by panel discussion series Face the Nation (based on the US series of the same name), which had previously aired at 5:00PM.
In 1963, the Seven Network aired a nationwide version hosted by Horrie Dargie.[3]
