Heads 'N Tails

Heads 'N Tails is an Australian television series broadcast on the ABC in 1983. It was a series of eight six-minute episodes. It was later combined and screened as a film. The series was produced by Health Media Productions who wanted to make a drama kids could relate to. Each episode was left hanging with a "What should I do?" scenario.

Deirdre MacPherson of The Sydney Morning Herald called it a "startlingly good series for young people". The Age<nowiki/>'s Buff's choice writer said of the film that it "is cleverly plotted, but there a patronising whiff about it."
