I remember I was in High School when this classic piece of Australian TV graced our screens. Promoted to be a sophisticated, stunning shift in the direction of Australian programming, it soon began to smell like a forgotten cooked chicken in the boot (trunk) of the family car. The show caused a lot of controversy when first aired simply because of the fact that it contained a lot of tits and bum. When the public no longer cared about that, they swiftly moved on to eradicating great swathes of cast members in original and enjoyable death scenes. Finally the show limped into severely bizarre storylines and plots involving god-knows-what (no-one actually remembers, we were no longer watching) that produced a thoroughly embarassing television show for the actors and public alike. May it rest in peace.
Yes it had lots of T&A, and unbelievable plot lines - but thats what made it so Good! Not to be taken seriously, the main attraction was to see how far out the plot lines would become (and the T&A of course).
It was also notable for the high standard of its cast that it managed to attract. The cast included:
Michael Caton (all round Aussie legend), Cathy Godbold (hottie), Jeremy Sims (now a little more serious), Abigail (legend), Lawrence Mah (serial soap star) and many others.
I also have to say, at the time as an undergrad, it was refreshing to see some TV where the writers were smoking more than I was! Chances, we miss you.
So if you pick up the DVD, take it straight to the pool room.
