Production of the plays was split equally between the Melbourne and Sydney ABC stations, with the first and fourth being produced in Sydney, the second and third in Melbourne. Each ran for 25 minutes. The plays were produced by Christopher Muir, Raymond Menmuir and Will Sterling. The title came from the use of the close up in television drama.

Each ran for 25 minutes. The plays were produced by Christopher Muir, Raymond Menmuir and Will Sterling. The title came from the use of the close up in television drama. The drama plays were based on real-life cases, dramatised for television by George F. Kerr. They were, in order:
* “The Robert Wood Trial” (4/9/57)
* “The Wallace Case” (20/11/57)
* “The Rattenbury Case” (18/6/58)
* “The Trial Of Madeleine Smith” (13/8/58) In Melbourne, the play aired against Chesebrough-Ponds Playhouse on HSV-7 (which consisted selections from US anthology series) and Douglas Fairbanks Theatre (aka Douglas Fairbanks Jr Presents, a British-American anthology production) on GTV-9, and was broadcast at 8:30PM. In effect, viewers had a choice of three different half-hour self-contained dramas during that night.
