The Hungry Ones

The Hungry Ones was an Australian television mini-series. A 30-minute period drama about a pair of husband and wife convicts trying to go straight,[1] it aired for a total of 10 episodes in black-and-white, which aired on ABC. Notably, the cast included Leonard Teale and Fay Kelton. Also appearing were Edward Hepple, Nigel Lovell, John Ewart, and Brigid Lenihan.[2][3]

The archival status of the series is not known. It was among a series of four historical mini-series broadcast by ABC in the early 1960s, which had proved successful enough to encourage commercial broadcaster Seven Network to produce their own such series, Jonah, in 1962.[4] There is little information on The Hungry Ones online.

An article in the 18 March 1964 edition of Australian Women's Weekly stated that the historical serials were "very good entertainment" with the exception of The Hungry Ones[5]
