The Judy Jack Show

The Judy Jack Show was one of the earliest Australian television series, and is notable as one of the first children's series produced in that country. The series debuted in 1956 on Melbourne station HSV-7.[1] It continued into 1957,[2] running for about a year before it was replaced with Young Seven. Information on this series is extremely scarce.

Early Australian series in many cases were broadcast only on a single station (such as TV Disc Jockey on TCN-9 and The Happy Go Lucky Show on GTV-9) which was also the case with The Judy Jack Show.

Following this series Jack presented Children's TV Club for ABC and in 1959 was co-host of Geoff and Judy for GTV-9.

During the run of The Judy Jack Show, Judy Jack married journalist Trevor Dawson-Grove[3] and took a fortnight off from presenting the series.

The archival status of the series (which aired live) is unknown; Although kinescope recording technology existed, many Australian live broadcasts of the era were not recorded.
