Uptight was a music television program from Australia that aired on ATV-0 in Melbourne between 1967 and 1969. The show was broadcast on Saturday mornings, running from 8 am until noon, with singer Ross D. Wyllie serving as the host.
In 1968, Calendar/Festival Records issued a compilation album titled Uptight – Party Time, performed by Ross D. Wyllie alongside the Uptight Party Team. The album, produced by Roger Savage, included medley arrangements of well-known tracks such as "Midnight Hour," "You Are My Sunshine," and "Day Tripper."
August 2003 saw Wyllie return to the stage to present a reunion concert called Uptight at Melbourne's Palais Theatre. This event showcased notable artists from the 1960s era, including Jim Keays (The Masters Apprentices), Marcie Jones, Ronnie Charles (The Groop), Bobby Bright (Bobbie and Laurie), and the Strangers.
