Give it a Go (1957) was hosted by radio and TV personality Jack Davey, who also hosted The Pressure Pak Show.
The show had pairs of contestants who competed against each other by answering general knowledge questions and was sponsored by the laundry powder company Persil.
Boxes of Persil were given to contestants as prizes during the show.
In this clip, the contestants grab the money so quickly it is hard to make out some of their answers to the questions!
Give it a Go had been a radio quiz show, but was less successful on television. It ran weekly for 38 episodes in 1957.
The National Film and Sound Archive of Australia acknowledges Australia’s Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples as the Traditional Custodians of the land on which we work and live and gives respect to their Elders both past and present.
