This long-running Aussie game show from HSV-7 – produced by Australian game show king Reg Grundy – was a less lucrative local version of the famous American quiz show The $64,000 Question.
Contestants answered a series of questions on their pet topics, progressing to a higher prize level with each correct answer.
Hosted by Malcolm Searle, with hostesses Beverley Robbins and Janet Mead.
Producer and booth announcer Roland Strong (who soon became Robbins’ husband) took over as host after Searle’s departure from ill health in 1962.
The new announcer was Max Rowley.
With the introduction of decimal currency to Australia in 1966, the show became known as Coles $6,000 Question, with the amount eventually rising to $7,000 after supermarket giant Coles withdrew its sponsorship at the end of June 1971.
From that point, the series became known as the $7,000 Question.
