"Long Distance" is a 1961 Australian television film. It was based on a 1948 American radio play, and retained the U.S. setting. It was among the first local drama productions by station HSV-7, and aired in a 30-minute time-slot. It was telecast on 8 June. An excerpt from it appeared in a 2006 documentary called Studio One, suggesting Long Distance still exists despite the wiping of the era. The film was produced by British producer Peter Cotes and starred his wife, Joan Miller. It was recorded in March 1961 but its air date was pushed back to 8 June 1961, due to a talk by the Prime Minister. It was the only one of Cotes' Australian productions to air while he was in Australia; the others were not screened until the following year.
