Monday 15 November 1965 TV schedule for Sydney, Australia.
Normally, I choose a schedule because it includes a show I like, or because it includes a show I want to see. In this case, I chose this schedule because it features two series that were notorious at the time but are now long forgotten. Both "TV Bingo" and "Seven's Bigger Bingo" were controversial because they were blamed for causing a decline in takings at charity bingo games, and additionally it was felt that they violated gambling laws. Within a few days of this schedule, both shows were taken off the air.
The schedule is heavily dominated by American shows. There's also some British series, a Canadian series, and not much Australian content. This 1965 schedule actually has a lot less prime-time Australian content than many 1957 schedules! Which is worrying....
Sydney had four stations to choose from. Three commercial stations, and one non-commercial station (ABN-2)
