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, 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. 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. 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

60 Minutes Australia

60 Minutes, an Australian version of the U.S. television newsmagazine 60 Minutes, airs on Sunday nights on the Nine Network and is presented in much the same way as the American program on which it is based. The New Zealand version of the show has also featured segments of the Australian version. Gerald Stone, the founding executive producer, was given the job by Kerry Packer and was told: "I don't give a f... what it takes. Just do it and get it right." After the first episode was broadcast on 11 February 1979, Packer was less than impressed, telling Stone: "You've blown it, son. You better fix it fast." Over the years, Stone's award winning 60 Minutes revolutionised Australian current affairs reporting and enhanced the careers of Ray Martin, Ian Leslie, George Negus, and later Jana Wendt. Since it was first broadcast, 60 Minutes has won five Silver Logies, one Special Achievement Logie, and received nominations for a further six Logie awards.
