[edit] Minutae
Bellbird, 1967-1977, was Australia's first successful television soap opera. Launched in 1967, the ABC produced series depicted the lives of simple country folk in the fictional town that gave the show's title. The series was taped in the ABC's Melbourne studios in Elsternwick, with footage for the opening titles sequence shot on location in the Victorian country town of Daylesford. The show screened for fifteen minutes as lead-in to the 7.00 p.m. evening news Monday through to Thursday.
In May 1968 actor Robin Ramsay received a lucrative offer to work in Japan and opted to leave the series. Because of the various entanglements of the character, it was decided the only way to write Charlie out at such short notice was to kill him off. [2]
