Dame Edna, Sir Les and Bazza between them have made several sound recordings, written books and appeared in films and television and have been the subject of exhibitions. Since the 1960s Humphries’ career has alternated between England, Australia and the United States of America with his material becoming more international. Barry Humphries’ autobiography More Please (London; New York : Viking, 1992) won him the J.R. Ackerley Prize in 1993. He has won various awards for theatre, comedy and as a television personality.

Many of Australia’s greatest radio serials were produced during the 1940s. Among those listed in this guide are the Sunday night one-hour plays - The Lux Radio Theatre and The Macquarie Radio Theatre (becoming the Caltex Theatre after 1947); the many Jack Davey Shows, and The Bob Dyer Show; the Colgate Palmolive variety extravaganzas, headed by Calling the Stars, The Youth Show and McCackie Mansion, which starred the outrageously funny Mo (Roy Rene). Fine drama programs produced in Sydney in the 1940s included The Library of the Air and Max Afford's serial Hagen's Circus. Among the comedy programs listed from this decade are the George Wallace Shows, and Mrs 'Obbs with its hilariously garbled language.

    Media Release

    Wednesday 19 July 2006 MEDIA RELEASE PERTH MINT RELEASES 'MOVING' TRIBUTE TO 50 YEARS OF TELEVISION A unique square coin styled on an early television set, complete with moving images, has been released by The Perth Mint as a tribute to the past 50 years of Australian television. Struck from 1oz of 99.9% pure silver in proof quality and issued as Australian legal tender, the 50 Years of Australian Television 1956-2006 coin features the Mint's highly acclaimed 'lenticular' imaging effects to portray six television icons from the past 50 years of broadcasting. The Perth Mint is the only mint in the world to issue legal tender coins displaying 'moving' lenticular images. Two previous lenticular issues, the 35th Anniversary of the First Moon Walk and the 60th Anniversary of the End of World War II 1945-2005, have proved a popular concept among collectors. Announcing the coin at Sydney's Powerhouse Museum, Perth Mint General Manager Veronica Maguire said popular interest in the 50th anniversary of Australian television was reflected in the Powerhouse's successful On The Box exhibition. "Like the classic clips and TV memorabilia at the Powerhouse, The Perth Mint's numismatic tribute recognises the impact of the world's most powerful medium and the outstanding achievements of Australian producers and broadcasters," Ms Maguire said. "We expect collectors to react equally enthusiastically to this new release, which has a strictly limited mintage of just 12,500. With a recommended retail price of $85, the coin is also likely to have broad appeal among a wide range of Australian television fans." Australian television began in Sydney in September 1956 with Station TCN's This is Television.
