Is Number 96 coming back?

Number 96 ended on September 15, 1975. The series concluded after its fourth season on Network 10, having been a significant part of Australian television in the early 1970s.

Number 96 was a soap opera set in a Sydney apartment block that aired from March 13, 1972, to September 15, 1975. It was a drama and comedy series that explored the lives and relationships of the residents of a small, inner-city building at 96 Lindsay Street, Paddington. The show addressed various social issues such as racism, drug use, rape, marriage problems, adultery, and homosexuality, often highlighting controversial topics for its time. The series was notable for its diverse cast, frequent nude scenes, and for featuring what is believed to be the world's first portrayal of a gay couple accepted as normal members of their community.

The show focused on the interactions among residents and the businesses in the building, including a delicatessen, a chemist, and a nearby launderette. It was groundbreaking in its depiction of social issues and its inclusion of a long-running gay relationship, which was portrayed without judgment and as part of everyday life. Although the series has ended, it remains a notable part of Australian TV history for its bold storytelling and social commentary.
