Music for You

Music for You was an Australian television series. Little information is available on the series. It aired from 1958 to 1960 on Sydney station TCN-9, and starred pianist Isador Goodman. Aired on Sundays, the time-slot varied. In September 1958 the series aired at 4:30PM while by May 1960 it aired at 1:30PM. It was Goodman's second television series, following the 1956-1957 Melbourne series The Isador Goodman Show. Well known in Australia at the time, he was also heard on radio during the 1950s. Given the main performer and the title, it was most likely a music series. Although kinescope recording and later video-tape was available during the run of the series, it is not known if any such recordings were made or still exist today.

Any Questions

Any Questions was an Australian television series which aired on ABC from 1958 to 1960. The series presented a panel, who would discuss various topics in each episode. ABC produced several discussion series during the 1950s and 1960s. Originally aired on Thursdays, it later moved to Wednesdays. Some of the editions were made in Sydney, while others were made in Melbourne. The "Chairman" overseeing the panel varied: In Melbourne it included Frank Eyre, in Sydney it included Nicholas Larkins and Frank Legg. TV listings from the run of the series suggest the Sydney edition was telerecorded for Melbourne broadcast, even though video-tape was available in Australia by 1959. It is not known if any of these telerecordings are still extant, given the erratic survival rate of 1950s Australian television programs.
