All the Way was an Australian television series made by Crawford Productions for the Nine Network in 1988.

The series was set in the 1960s. The first episode took place on the date of the John F. Kennedy assassination. The series examined the life of an Australian family during the decade of Lyndon B. Johnson, the Vietnam War, civil rights activism and The Beatles, linked by three sisters (played by Diana Davidson, Maggie Millar and Rowena Wallace).

A young Dannii Minogue was cast as Penny Seymour for the TV series as a replacement for Jacqueline McKenzie who had originally played Penny in the 3 part TV miniseries April 1988. All the Way debuted as a three-part TV mini-series during April 1988 and the TV series followed that November 1988 though due to cricket telecasts the series was dropped from its regular ratings schedule of 8.30pm Tuesday night and was screened at various later time slots usually in a one or two hour bracket.

A follow-on series[1] screened out of ratings period starting in November 1988. It failed to catch on with audiences and was cancelled after 32 episodes.[2]
