THE CAST

Bob Dyer
Dolly Dyer

Pick-A-Box

A long, long running, popular Australian game show from Channel 7, based on an earlier radio show of the same name.

Contestants had to choose between opening a box with a mystery prize within, or building a bank of cash (The time-honoured "Money or the box" scenario).

Pick-A-Box was hosted by Bob Dyer and his wife Dolly, who became Australian icons. Australian MP Barry Jones went undefeated as a contestant from 1960 to 1967.

The format came back later as Ford Superquiz.
