I too wish we could have more Australian TV shows over here instead of the constant American drivel. Love Big Brother Australia, Winners & Losers (axed by ITV2 after just 2 of 4 series), Neighbours and Home & Away as you say you can't go wrong with Aussie TV just wish we seen more of it.
The Almighty Johnsons (NZ) shown her on SciFi
Outrageous Fortune (NZ) 1st season of this was on Living I think
Packed to the Rafters (Aus)
Spirited (Aus)
Always Greener (Aus)
Seachange (Aus)
Nothing Trivial (NZ)
Go Girls (NZ)
Agent Anna (NZ)
Satisfaction (Aus)
Auckland Daze (NZ)
Seven Periods with Mr Gormsby (NZ)
Top of the Lake (NZ) shown here on BBC2?
Step Dave (NZ)
Party Tricks (Aus)
Offspring (Aus)
Winners & Losers (Aus) already mentioned on this thread
Utopia (Aus) mockumentary in the same style as 2012 / W1A
Upper Middle Bogan (Aus)
House Husbands (Aus)
....and these are just the ones I like! These shows would be great on British TV, very surprised they don't get here in the main.
Out of the list already mentioned, Offspring is absolutely amazing - it's the kind of show that can have you roaring with laughter in one scene and bawling your eyes out the next. Upper Middle Bogan is also a great show and I used to love Winners and Losers, but the show seemed to have jumped the shark in the last few series and become more soapy and implausible.
If you like period dramas, A Place to Call Home is terrific (and has been given a reprieve after being prematurely axed earlier this year) and Love Child (60s set midwifery drama) is also good. Anzac Girls, a mini-series about six nurses serving in World War 1, was particularly moving too.
I also like their traditional murder mysteries The Doctor Blake mysteries and the fabulous Miss Fisher Murder Mysteries.
Thats a weird one. It got decent ratings on Seven, they axe it the enter a deal with Foxtel to produce a new series for them using same cast and crew. Must make them more money in doing so.
