What happens

Time Out is an Australian television series which aired 1963 on Sydney station ATN-7. The first episode aired on 9 March 1963, though it is unclear when the series ended. The 10-minute series aired after the ATN-7 evening news (which aired in a 20-minute time-slot), and consisted of TV and stage actors portraying Australian historical figures, who were "interviewed" by a faux-interviewer played by actor Alastair Duncan. 26 episodes were produced. It had a spin-off titled Tribunal. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
