The Adventures of the Terrible Ten, The (Channel 9 1959-1960, Gary Day, Gavan Ellis)

Children’s knockabout series telling the adventures of a group of kids who create their own little town with its own rules and with some of the kids taking on roles like policeman and so on. Originally the show went out in 10 minute episodes but in 1963 when the show was sold to ABC these episodes were repackaged into 25 minute segments and the title changed to The Ten Again. Apparently a few episodes were also made in colour. Filmed at Mount Macedon in Victoria.
