The Wayne Manifesto is an Australian children's television series that aired on the ABC. Based on the children's books by David McRobbie, it is centred on the life of 12-year-old Wayne Wilson, showing the world both as the way he would like it and the way it really is. Filmed in Brisbane, Australia, it aired weekdays at 5pm on the ABC in 1997 and re-runs at 4.30pm in 1999. It has also aired on the BBC in the UK and was broadcast from 1998 to 2005.
