Penthouse Club (1970)

Hosted by Mary Hardy and Mike Williamson, Penthouse Club was a mix of comedy, light entertainment and live coverage of harness racing from the RAS Showgrounds and, later, Moonee Valley racecourse, as well as the Tattslotto draw. Screening on Channel Seven Melbourne (HSV7) from 1970 to 1978, the live-to-air variety show was considered a welcome alternative on Saturday nights which is often regarded as a wasteland of reruns and low-grade movies on other channels.
