Arcade was an Australian television soap opera shown in 1980 that was one of the least successful in the history of Australian television.[1]
It aired on Network Ten with the premiere (76-minute) episode shown on 20 January 1980. The series then ran five nights a week, Mondays to Fridays, as a 25-minute serial.
It was produced solely by Network Ten (as an in-house production) with a start-up budget of almost $1 million.
The series was set in a fictitious shopping mall (hence the "Arcade" of the title) in the northern suburbs of Sydney, Arcade dealt with the lives and loves of the characters who worked at the various stores within the shopping complex.
