These three women who wrote and produced this show deserve more credit for making such a fantastic, ahead of its time comedy show. It is far more watchable than old Fast Forward clips Big Girl's Blouse is a classic. I know they all made a big hit with Kath and Kim but this show is brilliant. Deserves to be better known outside Australia.

I was agog, because it wasn't because of the treatment of Manuel, as I suspected, but because of the "don't mention the war" skit. I'd thought belittling the nazis was OK. The far/populist right will spout vitriol as they do; but the left are concerned with morals, values and hearts and minds - and that makes writers afraid if negotiating the minefield. As Orwell wrote, if you set up too many rules for literature/the arts, writers will be afraid to think because one safe thought could lead to another that is frowned upon.
