The Burtons of Banner Street is a long running Australian radio serial about the Burton family that began in 1947. One of the writers was Morris West.[2] It was produced by the George Edwards Company.[3]
The Daily Telegraph said it "used to be a prime cure for the hiccups ; the shock to. the sensitive ear drum was generally sufficient to jolt the sufferer into a state of breathless wonder. With the passing of years, however, "The, Burtons" has acquired a sort of sleazy suavity."[4]
