There is no information available as to whether any of the episodes exist as kinescope recordings. Game shows were generally considered disposable by Australian broadcasters in the 1950s and 1960s. Reportedly no kinescopes or video-tapes exist of HSV-7's version of Tell the Truth, while footage does exist of Lady for a Day,[7] making it difficult to know for certain whether anything remains of That's My Desire.
