Peters Club
The Peters Club was an early Australian television series for which very little information is available on the Internet. It reportedly debuted in 1958, and aired on GTV-9, running into 1959. At the time, many Australian TV series were only broadcast on a single station instead of being networked, which may have also been the case with the series. Cast included Rod McLennan, Judy Banks and Joff Ellen.The now-defunct Truth newspaper gave it an award for "Best Children's Show - Melbourne Television".[1] Notably, it was produced by Crawford Productions.
The title is possibly in reference to the sponsor. As was also the case with 1950s American television series, early Australian television series sometimes featured the name of the sponsor in the title. Other examples included The Dulux Show, Tarax Show, Shell Presents, Swallows Parade, The Astor Show, among others.
There is no information available as to whether any episodes exist as kinescope recordings, the method used to record live television in Australia prior to the introduction of video-tape, as many live broadcasts of the era were not recorded.
