Great scenery and beautiful girls-but do they do any study?-Export this worldwide

This series is showing on Channel 2 Sunday 8.30 AM mornings.

It is incredibly fresh with great scenery , good cast (although I think Edge is a bit of a , well loner).

The girls are really attractive in there tiny bikinis and a German girl, Anna, use as part of a German-Aust production.

This won a TV logie and Aust is well renowned for producing great children's TV.

It would produce more adult TV shows but the networks just want cheap and nasty reality TV or buy imported shows.

Look at the Aust TV industry in the 1970's -there were heaps of shows made-I hope most were saved to video so can release as DVD and watch instead of all this Big Brother and With the Stars and sport.

Back to show Those girls are so cute but does anyone do much studying? The one flaw is not enough time shown of them in the classroom-too much about their falling in and out of love.

Morale Each episode seems to have some sort of moral. Like if you lie to your friends you will be found out.
