What happens
The Hungry Ones is an Australian television mini-series. It was a period drama about a pair of husband and wife convicts trying to go straight, consisting of 10 30-minute black-and-white episodes, which aired on ABC. Unlike previous serials it was videotaped rather than performed live to camera. 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.
