form y separately published work icon The Terrific Adventures of the Terrible Ten The Adventures of the Terrible Ten ( dir. Roger Mirams et. al. )agent Melbourne : Pacific Film Productions , 1960 Z1823427 1960 series - publisher film/TV children's adventure

A short children's adventure program, which (according to Moran, in his Guide to Australian TV Series) 'concentrated in a pleasant, innocent fashion on a group of children who created their own make-believe town, taking on such jobs as firefighter, police officer and so on'.

The program was the first Australian production for New Zealand-born Roger Mirams, who had arrived in Australia in 1956 to work as a cameraman for the Olympic Games. After this series, Mirams, in Moran's words, 'became an active force in the industry, especially children's drama, over the next 30 years'.
