The series aired on Tuesdays at 2:30PM on Melbourne station HSV-7, and was hosted by baritone Charles Skase, who was also known as a radio personality. Information on this series is scarce. The series presented requested songs, but it is not clear how these songs were presented. The archival status of the series is also not known, although being a daytime series aired in a single city means it is unlikely that kinescope recordings exist of it. For some time, the series was preceded on HSV-7's schedule by documentary series Australia Wide and followed by Gadget Man. On Australian television of the 1950s, music programmes were typically aired in a single city, with some exceptions.

C'mon, Have A Go!

C'mon, Have A Go! was an Australian television game show broadcast on the Seven Network in 1985 and 1986. The show was hosted by Tony Young. Contestants were drawn from the studio audience and encouraged to participate in games outside their declared area of expertise - using the show's title as a chanted catchphrase. Young would subject incorrect answers to a good-natured ribbing, drawing on his talents as a stand-up comedian. When creator and lead producer Sandy Scott left to work on a revival of the Family Feud format for Seven, the network dropped a planned third season of C'mon from its 1987 lineup. Tony Young resumed a radio career in his native Adelaide. Since 1995 he has worked as a media consultant.
