Loved it!

Great Aussie story and unique humour set in a nostalgic time.

A really good adaption of tricky material.

As a fan of the original books by Robert G Barrett I was both excited and concerned when I heard this series was being made.

I was excited because I've always wanted to see how Les would go on the screen. I was concerned because the source material would definitely need some tweaking to survive an audience in modern day. (Mr Barrett was obviously a 'blokey bloke' and whilst certainly good natured, some things won't pass muster today).

Obviously some purists will disagree, but I thought they did an outstanding job on this. The spirit of the books is definitely there, nods to plot points of the books are alive and well (they were largely all short stories and these, if my memory serves, have been blended a bit for episodes).

Definitely worth a watch, whether you're a fan of the books or not.

Return of Ocker

It's good to see content that will attract a larger audience to the ABC. A few people are complaining its not a direct copy of books. By updating the text, the content appeals to a broader audience the other half of the population women. If they stuck with the dated text, it would have resembled the corniness of an Alvin Purple movie. There are parts in series that push this ocker comedy to over the top corniness, but overall the series was enjoyable. Perfecting casting of Les Norton.

A really fun romp.

Never heard of or read the books so I come to this as just the TV show. Perhaps for me a blessing as I love the show I don't look for anything meaningful but just a fun story telling of a time in eighties Sydney/Bondi/Kings Cross area. It's unpolished , blokey, strong characters filled with deprecating humour. Acting is pretty okay . Look it probably won't win a hoard of awards at the Logies but for a mindless fun filled 50-55minutes on a Sunday evening in front of the box one could do far worse. Enjoy it for what it is entertainment.

Worth a look

Plenty of laughs and the detail is excellent, it has the feel of 80s Sydney and NSW north coast . Hope there's a sequel.

Anecdotes
Both the co producer and co star David Wenham aren't fans of the books, having stated: series co-producer, John Edwards, who admits he "wasn't a fan back in the day" of Barrett's "extremely popular" books, which have required a "huge amount" of reinvention: "They weren't art, and in fact lots of the characters written as very backward-looking males have become female characters, and they've been empowered. The charm of the voice has been maintained and the sketchier elements deleted." But Wenham found reading the Les Norton books troubling. "It was a bit of a chore, because although there's great humour and they're wonderful source material, there's a whole heap of stuff that, to put it bluntly, is offensive these days. So the creators have done a pretty fine job taking the jewels out of the piece and letting the rest slide by."
