Prime Time is an Australian soap opera drama television series produced by Crawford Productions that aired on the Nine Network in from January 1986 to January 1987. Prime Time was the last Australian soap produced with exterior location scenes shot on film and interior scenes shot on videotape. The series was not a popular success and was cancelled after sixty episodes.
The series was set at a fictional television station, Channel 5, and dealt with the behind-the-scenes goings-on on the set of a current affairs series called Assignment.
In 2020, Fiona Byrne of the Herald Sun included Prime Time in her feature about "Truly terrible TV shows that flopped".[1] Of the show, she stated: "Prime Time was a little watched, long-forgotten drama series which screened on Channel 9 for one season in 1986."[1]
