New Show Just finished watching The F Ward. Couldn't find much discussion about it on reddit hence posting it here

16 Upvotes

I'm Indian, this is my second Aussie show I'm watching after Heartbreak High. I randomly stumbled upon both the shows. Coincidentally both have Ioanne Sa'ula in it.

Anyways coming to the F Ward, it's a medical drama which is a heady cocktail of intense medical drama and interpersonal relationships and conflicts. It's a dysfunctional group of doctors and interns navigating their way through the day to day workings of a hospital. It oscillates between high stakes medical situations and romantic drama too.

Overall it's a great watch with some great acting. Would totally recommend. Really hope it gets renewed for another season though seeing how less buzz there is online about it I doubt it will

Farmer Wants a Wife Aus not why it used to be? More like MAFS now

11 Upvotes

Looking for: Comments/opinions on how FWAW AU has changed over time and what it used to be like - for example, I loved that it was wholesome and different to every other reality show out there. There was a lot more focus on the farm work.

Not looking for: general negative comments about the show.

Does anyone remember this ad

3 Upvotes

This ads been stuck in my memory ever since it’s been off the air or I haven’t seen it since like 2019. It was usually on the sbs and it scared the hell out of me. It was a save the children ad and it was on around 2017-2019. It had a stat at the start with black text that had like “every day, 15000 children die” and it really scared me as a 10ish year old kid. It had strings and a male narrator. It would be cool to see if anyone else remembers this ad

Question It it me?

4 Upvotes

I’m in the US and I love British and Australian TV. I just ran across the show Dead Lucky and 20 minutes in I find myself absolutely DESPISING the lead character Grace. She’s obnoxious, nasty and has a giant chip on her shoulder. I’m sure she’s written this way for a reason, her back story will probably tell in time if I can hang in that long. Anyone else familiar with this show? Tell me I’m not wasting my time, please.

Question Can anyone help..

6 Upvotes

So can any one help me identify this show. So it had to be around 2008 to 2012. The lead was a blonde woman and I believe they were marine biologists or something similar. I remember watching it but I just cannot remember. I know it’s vague, but someone has to remember remember something similar. I know once I see the lead actress I’d be able to remember. I think

Was The Twelve season 4 in production at all?

9 Upvotes

With the absolute tragic passing of Sam Neill, I had a thought about why there was no word on season 4 of The Twelve considering it should have been close to airing by now.

RIP Sam. Thanks for the childhood memories.

Question Is there a website like the UK's box of broadcasts to upload recordings of Australian TV broadcasts?

16 Upvotes

I am looking for a show that aired on ABC on 2002-2004 and thought perhaps someone may have a VHS recording of it uploaded somewhere similar to Bob. I know of clickview, but unfortunately the show is not on there. If anyone knows anything similar it would be greatly appreciated.

Question Why did this ident scare a lot of people?

So, a lot of you know ABC3 (ABC Entertains now), and this one ident called 'Dinosaur' probably scared lots of Australian kids. And to quote South Coast TV, it wasn't a meteor that killed the dinosaurs, it was a giant ABC3 logo that killed them.

GP (ABC TV)

Who remembers watching the television series GP, which ran from 1989-1996.

The show was based on an inner city medical practice and dealt with issues such as AIDS, a gay doctor, drug issues and incest.

The regular cast were great (Denise Roberts as the affable Receptionist Julie and Michael Craig as Dr William Sharp).

Guest stars included some young and up and coming stars, including Cate Blanchett and Simon Baker Denny (as he was known then!).

Zoe Carides - sister of Gia - was also in the main cast.

If only this was released on DVD some of these social issues would still be relevant today ❤️

Trying to identify an old Australian TV show episode (device swap / studying with headphones)

9 Upvotes

Im trying to remember an Australian TV show I watched years ago, however I only know the plot of the episode.

The main female protagonist has to study for a test. She attempts to study the material by listening to it overnight using headphones. However, she accidentally swaps the device with someone else, and that person ends up listening to the material instead of her and the next day the person is reciting the material instead of the intended protagonist.

Its something along the lines of mortified, a gurls world, sleepover club those types of shows in that era.
