What happens
Number 96 is an Australian primetime soap opera that aired on 0-10 Network (the forerunner of what is now Network Ten) and was produced by Cash Harmon Television and created by David Sale, who also served as a scriptwriter, primarily alongside Johnny Whyte broadcast from 13 March 1972 to 11 August 1977, originally in the primetime slot of 8:30 pm for 5 x half-hour episodes every weeknight, then later 2 x one hour episodes screened per week. The series follows the lives of the residents and visitors of a fictional four story inner Sydney block of flats located at 96 Lindsay Street, Paddington (hence the title "96") Although the series gained a huge following in Australia, because of its risque and controversial content and subject matter for its time, it never attained the worldwide global success or cult following as later show Prisoner that was known as Prisoner: Cell Block H in the UK and USA. The show was originally broadcast in black and white monochrome until halfway through its run; starting in March 1975, it was seen in colour, after networks in Australia switched over to colour television broadcasting.
