  • Summary

  • Our first episode is a rip-roaring ride to the epicentre of the 80s: it’s 1985 and we’ve just been interrupted in our viewing of another classic from the Reg Grundy stable. But what an interlude it is. R Whites display the same ambivalence towards lemonade drinking that Trainspotting did towards heroin; Exchange & Mart issue a stark warning of the perils of using ropier, local listings papers; Castlemaine XXXX whisk us back to Australia in the 50s. Or the 80s, we couldn’t tell. BT invest a large-scale budget to display small-scale mindedness, and we wrap up with a half-arsed ad for a half-arsed product that provoked a half-arsed parliamentary debate.


    Contains judicious use of swearing.
