Australia’s first ever continuing drama series shown each weekday morning at 8.45am, Autumn Affair detailed episodes in the life of a woman and her two male friends. When the series began Julia Parrish, who has been a widow for 15 years, meets an old admirer and eventually ends up having to choose between two different men.
Autumn Affair is considered quite important as a signifier that Australian TV could produce it’s own domestic series. Interestingly enough most of the episodes are still in existence and the series had a repeat run in 1964.
