The Unisexers

The Unisexers is an Australian television soap opera made by Cash Harmon Television for the Nine Network in 1975. The series was produced by the same company that had made the smash hit soap opera Number 96. The Unisexers focused on a group of young people - both male and female - living together in a commune arrangement in the old house of a retired elderly couple whose children had left home. The youngsters set up a business making denim jeans to be worn by both sexes, hence the title of "Unisexers". The cast included: Tina Bursill, Josephine Knur, Steven Tandy, Tony Sheldon, Delore Whiteman, Walter Pym, Jessica Noad and Patrick Ward. The series, hampered by an early evening time slot, failed to find an audience and was cancelled and removed from the television schedules after three weeks on air. A one hour premiere episode and fifteen thirty-minute episodes were broadcast.

Directed by —, The Unisexers leans on a strong ensemble — Steven Tandy, Patrick Ward — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.

The series landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about soap titles of 1975.
