Critical response
The Sun-Herald , TV writer Allen Glover, said that Until Tomorrow had "the edge over the American serials" in that "the characters are Australian – and believable". [3] However TV critic for The Age , John Pinkney, was withering about the show:
Former judge Jackson Kerridge (whose blindness has obliged him to vacate the Bench) is at his distinguished wit’s end about his two daughters.
One girl, recently pushed downstairs by her husband, stands to lose her baby. Sharon, the other, is dating a dangerous criminal. As judges' offspring will, the latter lass works in a milk bar. Well, she doesn’t work, exactly. Amid glittering new props department equipment, she sits all day, chatting to the proprietor about her amorous problems. Perhaps because of the price of extras, no customers ever happen by. For the shopman, a 12-hour day of dragging discourse with listless Sharon is not enough. At knockoff time, he pops around to tell the judge that she is in moral danger. Meanwhile, an old dear named Daphne is writing a slanderous novel about the whole, genteel mess…
Until Tomorrow is one of those rare programmes with which an audience can intimately relate. Most viewing mums will proudly know they could have written the simple-minded script themselves… Perhaps this cheaply semi-pdoruced serial will prove too bad to last. But then again, it could be with us for years; providing homebodies with crude instant rewards – and deepening malnutrition of the spirit. [4]
