I can't help liking this! :-)

It caught me off guard and instead of going to bed I found myself watching the whole episode on BBC Prime. What a sweet, brainy, educated, sane love story this is! I am thrilled and will have to keep an eye out for more stuff from the same crowd.

The TV schedule description says: "Original films offering a contemporary view of modern life. Julie is a temp with no direction. When she gets a contract at Sunshine Cars, she gets a new lease of life, but how many compromises must she make? With Kaye Wragg and Jamie Theakston."

I recommend it, it's very 'real life', with a twist of course (she actually does all these things we only talk/dream/think about). It's about equality and about believing in yourself, but also about appreciating the people you care about and not taking crap from anyone.

I started watching this series when I lived in Sydney and enjoyed it for it's perky yet unsweetened style. I enjoyed the characters played by Claudia Karvan, Samuel Johnson, Deborah Mailman and Abi Tucker and the clever "diary reading" story telling style but most of all I enjoyed the way it portrayed the environment. :-)

Everyone knows it's never that hot in Melbourne ;-) but apart from that the series still captures the 'essence' of life as a 20-30-something in Australia's main cities.

I missed the series so much when I moved back to Sweden that I had to buy it on DVD, and whenever I miss my home away from home too much I watch an episode to get a hit of "stralianisms".

Enjoy!
