Hit Parade (TV series)
The Hit Parade was an early Australian television pop music series which aired on the Seven Network 's HSV-7 from 1956[1] to 1959. It is often mentioned in books discussing Australian television of the 1950s.
Overview
The series presented hit recordings, which were danced to and lip-synced by the cast ("The Hit Paraders"[2]), often presenting the songs in settings with sets and costumes (anticipating the music video). Over 20 episodes of this series are held by National Film and Sound Archive,[3] along with a few episodes of These Were the Hits, a similar series.
