Belinda Giblin, S&Ds Alison Carr, had previously been in The Box... often wearing far fewer clothes.;-)
Some good characters, decent stories, and lots of stars to spot, like Mel Gibson and Sam Neill.
Anyone remember Boney...Young Ramsey....Bluey ??
I remember Boney - James Laurenson?
Don't remember the other two tho.
You don't remember Bluey Hills ... played by that famous Australian actor Lucky Grills? I'm being serious.
I actually loved Boney - James Laurenson is a fabulous actor.
My favourite Australian soap has to be Home and Away (although I haven't watched it in years) I remember the good old days of Bobby, Adam, Steven, Lance, etc.
My favourite Australian TV program ever though - has to be the truly brilliant 'Spyforce' from the early 70's.
Young Ramsey was a vet....and Boney was a detective in the outback.
Bluey was played by Lucky Grills he was a private investigater I think?
Bluey was different from traditional cop shows in that the lead character "Bluey" Hills was, to put it bluntly, a slob who ate too much, drank too much, and smoked too much. The story was that Bluey was such a loose cannon the police department set him up in his own area "Department B" and gave him the difficult investigations that other areas couldn't handle. (Just like UK series Department S though obviously with different character types.) Bluey wasn't a huge success and ended after 39 episodes. Bluey was in the early 1990s re-voiced as "Bargearse" - it is very funny and well worth looking up on youtube.
Blue Hills was an Australian radio soap opera.
Loved the early spats with Pat the Rat and Boring Beryl.
Could not abide bloody Susan. A fully grown woman who everyone treated like a small child.
Absolutely LOVED *Sons & Daughters as well as;
*Prisoner Cell Block H
*Richmond Hill
*Return to Eden
Heartbreak High
Number 96
Chances
E Street
*The Young Doctors
The Sullivans
*80-90s Neighbours (although the ne is also good at the moment)
80-90s Home and Away
A Country Practice
The * are my favourite ones
I watched most of them, although I wish the UK had shown Carsons Law, Punishment (male PCBH), Cop Shop and The Restless Years.
I also have fond memories of A Country Practice. When I was little, I remember my mum loved it.
The best soap ever I was addicted used to record it every afternoon it was on was heartbroken when it finished!!
I don't recall it but it would have certainly brighten up my teenage TV viewing.
Prisoner was the best soap that Australia has produced, genuinely scary at times with some realistic characters and some seriously over the top ones. Although I watch the rebooted Wentworth Danielle Cormack is no Val Lehman as the tenacious Bea Smith! The Young Doctors also used a lot of the cast members from Prisoner if i recall correctly (I was about 10 when it was on tv lol)
Special mention to Heartbreak High, who didn't love Sam and Rivers getting together (even though she'd be arrested now!)???
