Synopsis

NUMBER 96 was one of Australia ’s most controversial and highest-rated TV shows ever. Now for the first time in years, see complete episodes of NUMBER 96 and discover why it is one of our most-loved and influential drama series.

When Les and Norma discover Wine Bar waitress Lorelei Wilkinson dead on their lounge, it’s just the beginning of a killing spree from the apartment block’s most notorious visitor ever, The Pantyhose Strangler. With everyone a potential victim or suspect, the residents try to move on with their lives even as the victims continue to pile up around them.

Vera has worrying psychic visions about the killer and is poisoned. Don and Dudley are forced to play it straight for Carol’s homophobic boyfriend. Herb is horrified when Dorrie and Flo compete against each other in a Senior Citizen’s Club election. Reg has a secret admirer in Alderman Mrs Bullock. Norma’s snobbish mother comes to stay. Lucy is upset by shock news from New Zealand . And Marilyn comes face to face with the Pantyhose Strangler while working late in the launderette.

“Oh my God – it’s you!” Marilyn screams. The Friday night cliffhanger from 1975 had the entire country on the edge of their seats as they waited all weekend to find out who the killer was. Now you can find out in one wild marathon screening of NUMBER 96!
