A great piece of AusCom for the ages. Storyline is a little all over the place, and Sam Neill does a great job, even in his younger days. Zoe Carides was another stand out, and I honestly think she would have been great if she had've continued with her career. Quite a few famous Aussie face pop up so keep and eye out for those, and it was quite surreal to see places I grew up in being broadcast into my living room! Great watch!

Funny piece of quirky Australian comedy. Sam Neil, John Clarke are at their best. Zoe Carides is also very good (I wonder what happened to her?) but unfortunately the supporting cast was hammed up way too much.

Relentlessly, blackly funny..... maybe not to everyone's taste I guess.
Just a word of advice... don't let Sam Neill make you a pizza......
