Instant People was an Australian television series which aired from 1962 to 1963 on the Seven Network, hosted by Keith Smith. It was also known as The Nestle's Show.
Format
[edit]It was a Vox pop interview show. For example, one episode asked women on the street the question "should married women go to work?"; another interviewed a 16-year-old who left school to look after her ill mother and younger siblings following the death of her father; tested people's reactions to a bitter fruit cocktail; interviewed an art teacher, among other segments.[1]
Episode status
[edit]22 of the episodes are held by the National Film and Sound Archive.[2] It would appear the series was produced on film, which may explain the high survival rate, though this is not confirmed.
