Simple game show. I recently saw an episode of this at the Melbourne Mediatheque via a NFSA access copy. This was originally a radio show, and the television version was simply the radio show recorded with television cameras, though they did create a simple set which featured giant cans of Dulux paint.
This series was produced in Sydney, and contestants tried to win plane trips to places like Adelaide (flying via TAA). They were asked a series of questions related to particular locations (for example, one question asked which was the second smallest Australian state, another question asked which sea a particular foreign port was located at). Correctly answering several of these question got them the plane trip.
There was also a segment in which two contestants tried to win a plane trip to another country (flying via Qantas). In the episode I viewed, both wanted to take a plane trip to London. The first contestant is given two minutes to correctly answer as many questions as possible (questions such as what year did the Russian revolution start, what was Buffalo Bill's real name, etc.) while the second contestant is in a sound proof room. Then the second contestant is brought in and asked the same set of questions.
In 1957, Jack Davey hosted three game shows, the other two being "Give it a Go" and "The Pressure Pak Show". I've seen a single episode of each of these series, and based on that, "The Dulux Show" was the weakest of the three series.
