Fun with Frith

Fun with Frith was an early Australian(?) television series. It aired on Melbourne station HSV-7 in 1957, from 9 March to 15 June 1957 for a total of 15 episodes. The series was broadcast at 7:25PM on Saturdays, each episode being a brief 5 minutes long. The series featured cartoonist John Frith, who provided jokes and sketches.[1]

It was preceded on HSV's schedule by US series Kaleidoscope and followed by another US series, Grantland Rice.[2]

The archival status of the series is not known. Additionally, Fun with Frith was not the only five-minute series to have aired on HSV-7 during 1957. For example, Green Fingers started off as a five-minute series before expanding to 15 minutes. GTV-9, meanwhile, offered a 5-minute music series, also at 7:25PM on Saturdays, with Dennis Gibbons and Stan Stafford alternating each week.[3]
