A comedy series set in a newspaper office, Daily at Dawn was, according to Moran in his Guide to Australian TV Series, the last co-production between Gary Reilly and Tony Sattler before their partnership in RS Productions was dissolved.
According to Moran, 'As against their hit series Kingswood Country, which had worked so well as comedy not least because it had a crystal clear situation and very stereotyped and easily contrasted characters, Daily at Dawn had too many characters who were not sufficiently distinguished as types from each other, and too many normal types'.
The cast included Noeline Brown (who had previously starred in RS Productions' The Naked Vicar Show and taken a guest role in their Kingswood Country), and Robert Hughes, who was later to move on to the highly successful comedy Hey Dad.
