About 550 episodes were made, with about 425 being stored intact at the National Film and Sound Archive of Australia.[1]
The show was best remembered for the face (made up of just eyes, eyebrows, nostrils and mouth) on a blue screen that appeared occasionally during the program. The actress who played the part of 'the face' was Diana Kidd (born circa. 1951–1952).[2][3]
