Number 96
Many years ago, when the residents of Ramsay Street and Summer Bay were not even a twinkle in a TV producer's eye, Australians were gripped by a sometimes shocking, frequently risque and often comic soap about neighbours in an apartment block in Paddington, Sydney.
Number 96 was one of Australia’s most controversial and highest-rated TV shows ever. Never broadcast in the UK, soap fans now have the chance to watch 32 consecutive episodes of one of the show's most infamous plots - the pantyhose strangler!
The action starts when bar owners Les and Norma discover their waitress, Lorelei Wilkinson, dead in their lounge. The Pantyhose Strangler has struck and all the residents of Number 96 are at risk and under suspicion.
The soap was groundbreaking for its time and pushed boundaries that even today's television executives are often too afraid to. An entertaining mix of melodrama, high camp and farce, you have never seen anything like Number 96!
