 Whiplash
1 9 6 0 - 1 9 6 1 (Australia)
34 x 30 minute episodes
A Wild West style action series set in Australia in the 1850s.
Peter Graves (of Mission
Impossible) starred as stagecoach company owner Chris Cobb
and the series featured his adventures in the constant struggle
against outlaws and competitors during the country's formative
years.
Anthony Wickert featured as his helper, Dan, while the bad guys
in the series included George Wallace Jr and Chuck Faulkner (who
had been Australia's first newsreader and weatherman back in 1956
for Channel 9).
As might be expected from an Aussie Western, there was not an
Indian in sight!
TRIVIA NOTE : Peter Graves and James Arness (Marshall Matt
Dillon in Gunsmoke) are brothers
