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. It was produced by the George Edwards Company.
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."
