What's Your Favorite Aussie TV Programme?

[Bevlina]

I like Mcloud's Daughter's and Georgie Parker in ANYTHING. Did anyone watch a TV programme where the characters were Indian & they had the TV show in their (supposed house) The old lady was absolutely gorgeous! I can't think of the name of it. But they interviewed folk & were so funny! They uses to have it on the A.B.C. (Channel 2)

Well, being a SAHM I get to watch daytime telly (oh joy lol) If I am home at 11am I watch A Country Practice reruns. love it!


My favourite prime time program is Blue Heelers and I am going through withdrawal.

 

[Bevlina]

Oh yes! Dr Terence & Matron Donnely, Frank & (Lorrae Desmond) Cookie & Bob, who could miss A Country Practice. Judy is so cute too. Are you past when Molly dies Mama?

 

[refusethemark]

Bevlina the show you're thinking of is The Kumars at No 42

My favourites would have to be All Saints and Kath and Kim

 

[Bevlina]

That's it!! The Kumars at No 42! Thanks Refuse! I used to absolutely crack up during that show. Grandma was such a character with her long grey plait & her sari & dreams.
All Saints is a good show. So is Blue Heelers.

 

[Blessed-one]

favourite has to be "Catalyst" on ABC, a 30min program on scientific news.

next would have to be... Burke's Backyard, though i haven't seen it for quite some time.

then it'd be either the news or 70:30 report.

i don't watch any dramas.

Yes, and it was so sad, I cried. When ACP was on in the 80s I was in primary school so didn't really understand what it was all about really.

Judy is on holidays overseas somewhere.

I just thought about what I wrote, oh you guys must think my life is so dead boring. I think it's just being a mum, I've gotta have that hour to myself, if I'm not out and about. Even Daniel knows that it's my time and plays quietly for a little while.

 

[Bevlina]

No way do I think your life is boring Mama!! I'd say mine is the most boring! But I do like some TV Shows. I like Hot Property & Better Homes & Gardens, Burke's Backyard and Dr Harry.
I was amazed to see Judy make an appearance in McLoud's Daughter's as an emu nicker.
I couldn't believe she had aged!!
Yeahhhh...Brendon flew the kite & Molly....it was so sad. I think everyone in Australia cried when Molly died. It was headlines. Poor Molly Meldrum said he was scared stiff.
He kept seeing the headlines. "Molly On Deathbed."
I like Backyard Blitz too. I get some fantastic ideas from TV! Oh well...back to my embroidery...nothing on tonight...

All Saints and MacLeods daughters at the at the moment my favourite. Went off, Blue Heelers When Maggie died. It was so sad. PJ and Maggie were suppose to live happily ever after. Also macleod did such a good job with Claire passing away, can't wait for the new series, its back Jan 2004. There isn't to much on the telly at the moment though.

Yep, I stopped watching Blue Heelers for a while, because Maggie was my fave character. Everyone else they've put on there to replace her (for some reason there is always someone on there who is blonde! What is that?!?) is OK, but not as good, I am still watching though.

I'm not a fan of McLeods. It has a really strong feminist undertone which puts me off big time.

I sometimes watch Hot Property and get a bit depressed about the house prices. So I don't watch it too much. Better Homes and Gardens is good though, I do like Dr Harry as well.

Matron Sloane is on Neighbours (I don't watch it, the channel just happened to be on Neighbours one evening - cannot stand Neighbours lol) and there was good old Maggie Sloane, I didn't think she had aged that much funny enough.

 

[Bevlina]

Yes, the house prices are why I watch Hot Property. It's unbelievable! And, downright ridiculous. Whew! Location Location sent me in a bot of a spin too.
I mean...how do they expect a young couple to buy a house? They do...but the money owed to the Banks is outrageous.
Oh no...I don't like Neighbours. Home and Away has gone stupid too.
I love ACP because it reminds me so much of where I live. Dear Esme Watson is here too I think. We have Dr Terence too. And, the entrance to the town looks almost identical to ours. In fact, my kids thought it WAS my town! We don't have a few pokie machines in the pubs though, and we don't have a Brendon. I love that town because I love Australian Country Towns, but then, I am old fashioned. But, everyone said I was definitely the Shirley of the town! But, I don't like New Agey stuff.
Matron Sloane will NEVER age Mama! She is absolutely gorgeous & can play a role so well! Poor Terence looks a bit different today. He made an appearance on Home & Away and I didn't know him.

 

[elm1976]

i wish that they would play reruns of the Flying Doctors, another alltime favourite, its up there with ACP.

 

[Bevlina]

Oh yes elm...I loved The Flying Doctors. I have friends who live in the town where they filmed it. Minyip. The FD's was a classic and ranked beside ACP. It's a wonder they don't start replays of it in the daytime like they do of ACP.

 

[Sair]

Mcleods Daughters and All Saints. I used to love watching Police Rescue too.

EVERY small town has an Esme. lol. I grew up in a country town.

I agree about Maggie Sloane.

The Wiggles.

 

[mamaneenie]

The Wiggles.

The Wiggles are very cool indeed. Anything that gives me 10 mins peace and quiet wins my vote any day.

 

[Bevlina]

Know something? I've never watched the Wiggles. I used to crack up at The Ferals! Loved Ratus in his leather's.
