The Teenage Show, also known as The Teenage Hour, is an Australian music television series which aired on Saturdays from 25 October 1958 to 1960 on Melbourne station HSV-7.
The live series was a successor to Teenage Mailbag,[1] and episodes ran for about an hour (though per TV listings, some episodes aired in a 55-minute time-slot). Heather Horwood, Jack Kelleher, and Gaynor Bunning were regulars. Bands also appeared, including The Moontones[2] and The Rockets.[3] The archival status of the series is unknown. In one episode, an Aboriginal boxer named George Bracken sang, and made enough of an impression to be signed by a label to release a single.[4]
