CHANCES started production as a serious soap about a family coping with fame and fortune after winning the lottery – but, thankfully, bad ratings forced the show’s producers to rethink their concept. CHANCES transformed into Australian television’s guiltiest pleasure – a show that embraced high camp and complimented it with an overabundance of flesh. The series’ craziest, most insanely delirious episodes are gathered together on these DVDs. Apart from the regular cast, you’ll meet Jacqueline (the g-string-wearing, machine-gun-wielding, motorbike-riding, Avenging-angel-kamikaze-vigilante), Aviva (the sexy nude journalist who turns out to be both the mother and sister of Jeremy Sims' 16 year old mute bride, artificially inseminated by her father), Sieglinde (the laser-wielding, lingerie-wearing, neo-nazi-nympho with a constantly changing accent), Wanda (the psychic secretary who is a reincarnated Dolphin) and Bruce (the creepy, rat-keeping hunchback). You’ll also encounter deviates, triads, Israeli secret agents, Nazi drag queens, girls in cages, witches burnt at the stake, an assortment of Medieval sex fantasies and "Carry On" style French revolution past-life flashbacks. Finally, throw into the mix a soft-focus dirty weekend with Oz sex symbol Abigail, a mice-eating Venus fly trap, a box of chocolates full of slow-acting poison, a middle-aged bitch fight, a bevy of fantasy brothel sequences and a crazy plot involving the Eva Braun necklace – a valuable Third Reich artifact that transforms the wearer into a sex-crazed ancient Egyptian goddess! All the ingredients for an unforgettable, laughter-filled, sexy evening in front of the ol’ idiot box!

This is a piece of Australian television history, its lowest point. If curiosity about Kate Langbroek’s appearance in the show dares you the brave cruel and unusual punishment to save you some time she only appears in the first episode of the second season.
