He wrote most of the episodes for Spyforce, which he helped create.[1] He had a long collaboration with producer Roger Mirams.[2]BiographyMcLean was running a woman's shoe shop in Double Bay, Sydney when he read an article about a TV series being made in Australia, Riptide (1969). He sent them a couple of stories which the show liked and he taught himself how to adapt them into scripts. He wrote some episodes of Skippy and did sketches for The Mavis Bramston Show. He came much in demand in the early 70s, writing a number of shows for Crawford Productions.[2] McLean met Roger Mirans when working on Woobinda, Animal Doctor. The two formed a company, South Pacific Films, which made Spyforce.[2] McLean was also one of a team of four people who wrote children's books under the name of Mary Elliott.
