Among the panelists, the fair Bradley girl from “Petticoat Junction” was a surprise: she showed herself to be very far from being a dumb blonde—and as a piece of incidental information, we learned from her that “Petticoat Junction" is still being made, after five years. In this quiz programme, everything is done to bring the viewing audience into participation with the players. The first person to challenge the panel on Tuesday evening was a teacher of yoga, and it was not surprising that the panel exhausted its quota of questions before being told the challenger’s occupation. The programme would have lost no friends when the challenger, on invitation, gave a brief demonstration of yoga, and in her leotards revealed herself as a young woman who in another environment would evoke heart-felt wolf whistles.

The panel did not allow the second challenger to get away. He was revealed to be a diaper salesman, but only

New Australian Comedy Series

A neW Australian comedy series, “I’ve Married a Bachelor,” has started from WNTVI and may be expected on CHTV3 programmes soon.

It looks at the lives of a young married couple, Peter and Molly Prentiss. Peter is the allegedly typical all-Aus-tralian male, reluctantly giving up the bachelor life—his mates, his football, his beer—for his new wife. «

His mother-in-law and his best friend try, in their own ways, to help him give up his former carefree life or the responsibilities of marriage, often only driving him back to his old ways.

Peter Whitford plays Peter Prentiss and June Thody is his wife. The co-producers of the programme, Alan Morris and Brian Bell, are both former senior N.Z.B.C. producers.
