As Moran notes in his Guide to Australian TV Series, this was (like other productions of the same period, including Are You Being Served? and Father, Dear Father) an importation of a British concept: unlike the other programs, however, this was based on a concept for which William Stewart had produced a pilot, but that had never been picked up for production.
The series revolved around tea ladies working in Parliament House, Canberra. Moran notes that 'The short series made at ATV Channel 0 in Melbourne cost $500 000. Each episode was aired almost immediately after studio shooting and was screened at 8:30pm to small audiences with almost no reviews.'
