Gobble, gobble, gobble......, 28 May 2004
Author: prose from Adelaide, Australia

Yes - this show is the turkey of all shows, and on the ABC, too! I waited for this series to start early '04, and only managed to stomach about the first 5 episodes before I gave myself a break.

I can't, for the life of me, work out why such a good cast - John Waters, Libby Tanner, Jeremy Simms, Abe Forsyth, and more - agreed to help bring this to air. I've been trying to work out why it's so bad, and can't put my finger on one thing, because it's all bad! For instance, the episode shown 27/5/04 had Libby Tanner and John Waters sitting on their veranda eating and watching the rain falling, and two days later she's called out to a fire!! What?? Some of the continuity in the same episode is so bad that it's distracting.

But worst of all, the characters are unlikeable. There's not one character in this series who isn't either thick as a plank, or genuinely unpleasant, and the relationships seem to be based on lies and distrust, and a little bit of violence just to spice things up a bit.

I will not watch it again. I'd rather watch flies crawl up a wall.
