Take That

Take That was one of the earliest Australian television series. It debuted in 1957 and ran to 1959. As was often the case with early Australian television, it aired only on a single station, in this case HSV-7. Take That was a comedy series, one of the earliest such series produced for Australian television, and is sometimes considered to be Australian's first sitcom. The series was produced by Crawford Productions, who also produced several other 1950s-era series like the game show Wedding Day and the children's series Peters Club. Cast included Philip Stainton, Irene Hewitt, Frank Rich, Keith Eden, and Joff Allen. The archival status of the show is not clear; Although Kinescope recording existed, many early Australian broadcasts of the period were not recorded.
