Your Home was among the initial television programs broadcast on Sydney's ATN-7 station, airing from 3 December 1956 until approximately 3 September 1964. As one of the channel's pioneering productions, the show was designed for a housewife audience and hosted by Del Cartwright. It originally aired five days per week with episodes lasting 30 minutes, before later adjusting to a four-day schedule and extending episode duration to one hour.
Examples of format
The show’s content varied widely, including segments such as a judo display on 10 September 1957, conversations about vegetable applications featuring Cartwright alongside Marjorie Long, guest appearances by the Pajama Game cast, interviews with choreographer Betty Pounder, and performances like the Flying Garlands tumbling troupe on 8 October 1957. Additional episodes showcased interviews with dancers George and Mavis Weiss, Cedric Ashton representing the Rockdale Opera Company, and hairstyling tips aimed at teenagers (12 November 1957). Regular features also included holiday fashion showcases, cooking demonstrations, and traditional Scottish and Irish dance routines (10 December 1957).
Episode status
The National Film and Sound Archive preserves five episodes dating from the 1960s. One of these recordings has a duration of 22 minutes and 55 seconds, which aligns with standard daytime commercial breaks. The survival status of further episodes is currently uncertain.
