Australia's Iconic No 96
I was shock to read that it's over 50 years since No 96 first broadcast in March .
I remember I was around 11 and was one of the few kids that was aloud to sit up and watch it.
If you watched it who was your favourite person ?
The soap set in a fictional apartment block ran for 5 years on Network 10, breaking taboos, causing outrage, massive TV ratings and creating world firsts in the process.
No other show on television dared to tackle the subjects of its racy scripts in 1972: the world’s first sympathetic gay character, an interracial romance, transgender, rape, illegal abortion, satanic black mass, nudity, a knickers snipper, pantyhose murderer, -and viewers couldn’t get enough of it.
Did you know some of the characters were based on real people .
It was set in an inner Sydney suburb of Paddington.
