Number 96 Season 1972
Brollie is proud to bring one of Australia's most controversial, influential and beloved TV series back to lounge rooms across the country.
Set in an inner-city apartment building in Sydney, NUMBER 96 peels back the walls of suburbia to reveal a bold, unfiltered look at Australian life in the 1970s, introducing shocked audiences to taboo subjects that had never been on TV before, with lashings of sex, nudity, diversity and queerness.
Brollie is proud to present the 21 black and white episodes that remain in existence. Episodes 1-15 and 31-35 originally premiered in 1972, while episode 450 premiered in 1974.
