The Howard Years is a documentary series about the prime ministership of John Howard produced by the Australian Broadcasting Corporation. It was divided into four one-hour episodes – one episode for each term Howard served as Prime Minister of Australia – and was originally broadcast on ABC1 from 17 November to 8 December 2008. The program continued the ABC's contemporary tradition of producing a similar long-form retrospective documentary series of Australian governments – albeit The Howard Years was produced following the end of the Howard government, unlike the previous Labor in Power series.
