The Shell Presents series features the musical Pardon, Miss Westcott — billed as Australia’s first locally-written television musical comedy. Starring Wendy Blacklock and Michael Cole, Pardon, Miss Westcott was set in the early days of the colony of New South Wales.

GTV9’s broadcast of the play came a week after it was performed and recorded live to air on ATN7, Sydney.
