The Battlers (1994)
One for the Family
I must say this is one of the most delightful TV dramas / mini series since the remake of The Shiralee in 1987. Both made around the time of the depression. No overt violence or language to ruin the show a great one to watch over and over again a shame more aren't made like this. Characters like Snow, Stray, Deafy, the Apostle, Burning Angus and Ma Tyrell all conjure up a time of desperate hardship and genuine friendship "On The Track" where they scratch out a living being rouse abouts, fruit pickers, con men and rouges all to put food on the table. This story was told to me by my grand parents and shown to me in this mini series. Well worth watching if you come across it. If you liked The Battlers try The Shiralee with Brian Brown, Noni Hazelhurst and Rebecca Smart.
Kenny (2006)
Kenny Flushed With Success
There are not many movies I will sit and watch more than once this one I have seen 10 times and still laugh. I find it a refreshing change from all the in your face action moves, horror and romance to see a movie that makes fun at the not so pleasant side of every day life.
I would like to think that every porta loo company has it's own Kenny helping the public in his own special way.
As an Australian living in London a group of my friends sat and watched it, at first my mates didn't get the humour(language barrier)but by the end and with some explaining they were all busting a gut laughing.
Best Australian comedy by far.
