Sadly, this is how one Brit views Aussie TV:
Awful Aussie TV
Neighbours - This has been running every day for 92 years and every episode was written by Rolf Harris, the acting is awful, the stories are worse and all those dirty awful Aussie voices are just piercing to the ears. This program makes Australia look really sunny, but the fact is Australia isn't at all, they just stick a dodgy filter on the camera lens! Australia's weather is more like Russia. If you ever go to Australia, you'll find that they hand you out a complementary pair of sunglasses with the built-in "Neighbours" filter when you get off the plane - this makes it look sunny and warm.
Home And Away - If anyone can tell the difference between this and neighbours then email me.
Rolf's Cartoon Club - Not really an Aussie program but Rolf was on it so it's in here. Retarded kids attempt to make cartoons with the assistance of Rolf, and guess what he draws ?? you guessed it......a kangaroo with his face on next to a fence.
Micallef Program - Absolutely awful attempt at alternative comedy. No country apart from the UK can pull this off so don't even try !!
Blinky Bill - Hmmm, I can't remember if this was Australian or just Americans doing the voices (like Rocko) It's shit anyway.
Prisoner Cell Block H - Ooh, this was good, cardboard walls and acting to make Hulk Hogan look good, it's a shame it's on about 5am because I used to love watching all the lesbian sex scenes.
Pugwall - This was shit
The Bush Patrol - I never actually watched this but I like the name.
Round The Twist - This is the most popular thing to ever come from down under but the fact is that all the cast were English and some Mexican, they were just good at the accent. The whole thing was filmed in the beautiful Bognor Regis but they used the Neighbours camera filter to make it look warm.
