This anthology series of one-off comedy plays by Australian writers was produced by the Australian Broadcasting Commission and was based on the UK’s Comedy Playhouse series.
Intended as a showcase, each 30-minute comedy was regarded as a possible pilot for a new series.
The cast included Max Cullen, Gordon Piper, Judy Morris, Grahame Bond, John Meillon, Wendy Blacklock, Sheila Kennelly, John Hamblin, Mike Dorsey, Bill Peach, Cul Cullen, Benita Collings, Rory O’Donoghue, Kate Fitzpatrick, John Derum, Robyn Nevin and Jacki Weaver.
A second series of seven new comedies returned in February 1973. Cast members in these episodes included Garry McDonald, Peter Sumner, and Ron Frazer. This series spawned another Grahame Bond success, Flash Nick from Jindavick.
