Australian Playhouse was an Australian anthology TV series featuring the work of Australian writers.[1] It ran for two series. Among the featured productions were works by Tony Morphett, Pat Flower, and John Warwick.[2]

Background

The series was the idea of producer David Goddard.[3]

Series one ran from April 1966[4] to early November 1966.

According to Frank Roberts of The Bulletin "it has to be viewed as a promising nursery".[5]

It is estimated eight to nine productions were written and filmed but not broadcast due to concerns about quality.[6]

It won a 1967 Logie for Contribution to the Industry.[7][8]
