This is an example of the pinnacle of Australian children's television. The plot, centering on the Twist family who live in a lighthouse in a fictional town on the 'Shipwreck Coast' (filmed in Southern Victoria), concerns bizarre happenings at the lighthouse and town of Port Niranda, and the characters of Pete, Bronson, Linda and Tony and Fay are amusing and entertaining, as are the school teacher and Mr Gribble and his family. The first two series made around 1990 were very good, based on books by children's author Jennings. This is a fine example of the summit of that great mountain of 'wierd and wacky' shows, whose summit is like a needle on a haystack. The later series have a similar plot ark featuring the Viking Book of Love and Atlantis plots, and are almost as good as the first, though the first two series are my fave. All in all it is a good show and quite good entertainment.
