What happens

The Jimmy Parkinson Show was an Australian television series which aired 1959 to 1960 on Sydney station ATN-7. It was a weekly half-hour music series. Like most 1950s Australian series, it aired in a single city only. An article in the Sydney Morning Herald newspaper, while not mentioning the series by name, does provide some information on the series. It described Parkinson as a "balladist", and called him "one of the most promising performers that TV has produced in Sydney". (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
