Vague memories of this series
4 June 2008
Warning: Spoilers
I came onto this site having half-remembered the series (I thought it was called Ten Town)in search of more information. I saw these programmes in London, England after the middle of 1961 as 25-minute episodes and they were influential enough for my younger brother and I to build replicas of some of the features of "Ten Town" in our garden using scrap wood from the demolition of houses nearby.

I remember only two plot-lines; one featured the manufacture of eucalyptus oil which was misappropriated by an outsider and sold to a local fuel retailer and the other featured the end of the town when the area was gradually flooded - I assume by a new dam or some such.

I was nine years old in 1961 and I reckon that I saw these episodes and built my replica of Ten Town before I went to senior school in 1963. I hope that more information about the series turns up eventually, as I'm old enough now to enjoy revisiting my experiences of that period.
