Get a new Life on TV

Re: Get a new Life on TV
Watch everything we can find - except strangely enough the soaps....
But then if you were emigrating to UK and you watched Eastenders or Coronation St for a 'real view of the UK' you'd be a) mental to still come and b) seriously upset when you arrived
Billy conolly does 30 minutes in and around brisbane on his DVD , its just been re-released its £20 from amazon - I just got it before christmass. Might put it on ebay now Ive watched it !
There was a good programme on Sky Travel - this is the channel that operates from 00:00 to 01:00 (!!?!?!?!!) they had "Tasting Australia" - it was 30 minutes programme on the Brisbane Farmers Market , pretty cool it looked too.
If this is Get a New Life then it'll be the guys who went to Brisbane - with 2 little kids, fitness instructor(she) and electrician(he). He was famous for his mullet ( not taking the mick - it was his own words - based on a ramsay st character!) I forget the names hence the 'he/she' sorry if you read this, no offence!!.
