What happens

Tribunal is an Australian television series which aired in 1963 to early 1964 on Sydney station ATN-7. Actors played controversial historical figures such as Brutus, General Custer, Lizzie Borden and Richard III, who were interrogated about their actions by Alastair Duncan. The series aired in time-slots ranging from 10 minutes to 15 minutes. Despite airing in an era where Australian television series were often wiped, many of the episodes are held by the National Film and Sound Archive. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
