Recently rewatched after seeing Wog Boy 3

Nick, George and Mary are just magnificent in characters that have stood the test of time and will always capture a time in Australian history that many of us remember well!

Unfortunately the supporting cast are, in general, pretty weak and tiresome but thankfully they don't stick around that long. Added to which Season 5 is pitiful - that reduces the overall score for me but it's still incredible to rewatch / watch for the first time.

Effie is - and will always be - a fantastic character depicting a persona in the 80s/ 90s that many of us "Wog chicks" related to. We knew so many who acted like she did and watching those girls pretend to do "an Effie" is something I will forever find hysterical!
