Personal Column is an Australian television series. It aired on Melbourne station HSV-7, broadcast weekly at 4:00PM on Wednesdays from 27 August 1958 to 6 May 1959. Episodes aired in a 15-minute time-slot. It was replaced on the schedule by Brenda's Time with HSV personality Brenda Marshall, a series of which very little information is available. The archival status of either series is not known. It should not be confused with Personal Album, a GTV-9 series which also aired from 1958 to 1959.
Format
It appears to have originally been hosted by Brenda Marshall, but most episodes featured Jean Battersby as the host. The series had a format similar to newspaper personal column sections, with Battersby discussing viewers personal problems.
At the time, most Australian series aired in a single city only, which was also the case with Personal Column.
