Talking Telephone Numbers was an extraordinarily short-lived Australian game-variety show. The show ran for 60 minutes on Friday evenings from 7:30.

The show consisted of general variety entertainment, with six small games involved. The result of each of these games would be to produce a number between 0 and 9 - the ways that numbers were found changed from week to week, and were either random, or based upon some entertaining concept. At the end of the show, once six numbers were achieved, the lines were opened to the public, and anybody whose phone numbered ended with the same six numbers as the ones drawn during the episode (in any order) had a chance at winning a cash prize.

Unfortunately, the quality of the show was not good. The games were generally pointless, and the hosts were not very interesting. As such, Talking Telephone Numbers lasted the grand total of four episodes before being axed and becoming nought but a memory.
