Picture Page (Australian TV series)
Picture Page was an early Australian television series which aired from 1956 to 1957 on ABC. It was hosted by Valerie Cooney.
The half-hour prime-time series was of a magazine format. In the 19 April 1957 episode, the program presented Donald McMichael, curator of shells in the Australian Museum, who showed shell specimens.[1] The 9 August 1957 edition featured Pat Spencer, a vocalist, along with "leading Sydney models".[2]
R. C. Packer in the magazine The Australian Women's Weekly gave the show a positive review, saying "it has an off-beat attractiveness".[3]
Aired live in Sydney, by some point in 1957 the series was aired in Melbourne via telerecordings,[4] also known as kinescope recordings. It is not known if any of these 16mm film recordings still exist.
