Would You Believe? was a game show from Australia, created and broadcast by the Australian Broadcasting Corporation (ABC) between 1970 and 1974. Its debut episode aired on 5 February 1970. The half-hour program was shown in black and white, scheduled for Sunday evenings at 7:30 pm.
The format involved a contest focused on distinguishing truth from fiction regarding Australia's early history and customs. Two teams, each composed of three panel members, shared historical narratives—out of which two were deliberately false. Participants improvised their commentary based on images and background information provided prior to filming.
Peter Lazar served as the show's host. The original panel featured Len Evans, Carmen Duncan, Frank Hardy, Michael Baume, Jacki Weaver, and Cyril Pearl. From the second season forward, Noeline Brown took over Duncan’s role.
