Where The Action Is (Australia)
Where The Action Is was an Australian television show that aired from January to November 1966.[1] It starred Johnny O'Keefe and was produced by the newly launched TEN Network.[1] The concept revolved around O'Keefe traveling to locations around Sydney,[2] and later in the show's run, around Australia.[citation needed] Each episode would feature guest stars that would sing many of their current hits.[2]
The show marked O'Keefe's return to Australian television following the cancellation of his previous show Sing, Sing, Sing in 1965.[3] A combination of O'Keefe's waning popularity, budget constraints, and technical limitations at the new station meant the show was unsuccessful and was cancelled within the same year it commenced.[2][1] It was the last television series to be hosted by O'Keefe.[2] Only two episodes are known to still exist.
