What happens

Autumn Affair is an Australian television soap opera made and aired by Network Seven station ATN-7 in Sydney, and also shown in Melbourne on Nine Network station GTV-9. Television in Australia had only been broadcasting since 1956 and the Seven Network was the first commercial station to make drama a priority. The series was written by former radio writer Richard Lane. It premiered on Monday 20 October 1958 and continued until 20 October 1959. The series was notable as the first ever Australian-produced television soap opera to air in that country. It was also the second regular Australian-produced dramatic television series of any kind, with previous locally produced drama consisting of religious series The House on the Corner. At this time the only other drama content produced locally was televised plays broadcast by the ABC. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
