The Teenage Show


The Teenage Show, also known as The Teenage Hour, is an Australian music television series which aired on Saturdays from 25 October 1958 to 1960 on Melbourne station HSV-7.

Background

The live series was a successor to Teenage Mailbag, and episodes ran for about an hour. Heather Horwood, Jack Kelleher, and Gaynor Bunning were regulars. Bands also appeared, including The Moontones and The Rockets. The archival status of the series is unknown. In one episode, an Aboriginal boxer named George Bracken sang, and made enough of an impression to be signed by a label to release a single.
