Squinters
This six-part comedy series tracks the trials and tribulations of five car loads of travellers in peak hour morning transit and again on their drive home to find out how the workday turned out.
Get Krack!n
With no sense of on-camera technique, the Kate's will shuffle through a roster of unsafe demonstrations, surly guests, underprepared experts and the over-lit decomposition of the duo's already rocky relationship. Like any televisual format that The Kates put their rough, manly hands to, things on Get Krack!n' will go downhill fast. Frankly, whatever the hour, an audience deserves better.
The Librarians
This Australian comedy features the life of Frances O'Brien, a devout Catholic woman who suffers from a panic disorder and serves as Head Librarian at the Middleton Interactive Learning Centre. Life gets interesting when her former best friend who is facing criminal charges becomes her co-worker.
The Time of Our Lives
Our thirties and forties are the busiest time of our lives. The extended Tivolli clan is right in the thick of it - kids, career advancement, home ownership, settling in with the one you love; still trying to find the one you love; getting away from the one you used to love. It's the time of our frantic, messy, frustrating, funny, sometimes awful, lives.
The Ex-PM
As our third longest serving Prime Minister, Andrew Dugdale mattered. He dined with presidents and kings, hosted world summits and changed the lives of millions of his fellow Australians. But now he's retired; a not-so-elder statesman with time on his hands to ponder the question - was it all worth it? Not that he's asking of course. No, his inquisitive and over enthusiastic ghostwriter Ellen has an unhelpfully insatiable appetite for the truth.
The Hollowmen
The Hollowmen is a political comedy/drama which follows the goings-on of the Central Policy Unit, a think tank set up by the Prime Minister to help him get re-elected.
In Our Blood
Inspired by Australia's radical response to AIDS in the 1980s, In Our Blood tells the story of a community grappling with a terrifying new disease. With no cure in sight, they realise they will need something truly radical to survive, trust.
The Checkout
This is an Australian television series starring The Chaser's Julian Morrow and Craig Reucassel, in a 10-part series on exposing the nasty tricks that see Australian consumers ripped off and manipulated.
Sando
Sando is Australia's queen of the discount furniture package deal. She's built her empire on being a down-to-earth larrikin and is something of a national treasure - to all but her family. They banished her a decade ago when her one-night stand (and resulting pregnancy) by her daughter's fiancé was shockingly revealed at his wedding to her daughter. Now, after a health scare, her career on a precipice and her professional nemesis primed to push her into the abyss, Sando is determined to rekindle the family relationship. She needs them, and in spite of their initial apprehension...and unbridled hatred...soon they'll discover they might actually need her too.
Miriam Margolyes: Almost Australian
A 3-part observational documentary investigating a key cultural issue of our time - Australia's changing sense of nationhood during a period of increasing globalisation and fractious identity politics - through the deeply personal lens of Miriam Margolyes's own sense of becoming a new Australian.
