on February 1st 2026.This week PAUL CHANDLER, THE SHY YETI himself, is back on his quest to discover and share as many obscure Australian television shows with you as possible, such are the fascinating compulsions of the archive TV fan. PAUL’s motivation is often down to wanting to see other work by some of his favourite actors, and he selects his box sets because of what appeals to him personally, and not through any requirement to experience them in broadcast order.This week, his exploration of the Australian Drama series takes a look at three more shows that he’s been acquiring and investigating, all of which are hour long – or more accurately fifty minute police dramas dating from the late nineteen-sixties and early nineteen-seventies; HOMICIDE (not to be confused with the later American series, a show which ran for thirteen years from 1964 and racked up over 500 episodes; DIVISION 4, which began in 1969 and ran for seven years and over 300 episodes; and MATLOCK POLICE which started in 1971, ran for five years, and offered nearly 230 editions.PAUL admits that all of these shows are fairly new to him and, at the time of recording, he had only watched a handful of each, but I’m very grateful to him for taking the time to watch these shows to get a taste of them and share his experiences with the rest of us.PLEASE NOTE - For Copyright reasons, musical content sometimes has to be removed for the podcast edition. All the spoken word content remains (mostly) as it was in the broadcast version. Hopefully this won't spoil your enjoyment of the show.
