Performance (Canadian TV series) explained

Performance is a Canadian television anthology series, which aired on CBC Television from 1974 to 1978.^[1] The series presented one-hour dramatic television plays, predominantly adaptations of both Canadian and international literary works but also including some original films.^[1]

It premiered as a regular series in December 1974, and aired episodes regularly through 1975. In 1976 it was replaced as a regular series with For the Record, which commissioned primarily original new television films about social issues, although the Performance title was retained until 1978 as an occasional special title for other television films that did not fit the For the Record format.^[2]
