Thank god I have Australian foxtel as I get to watch re-runs of one of the best comedy shows ever made, it is just a Shame that it hasn't had much of a airing outside Europe or Australasia. . For those who haven't had the pleasure I suggest you buy the videos and send me a thank you letter cause you wont be disappointed. The story is unique, intelligent and amazing funny when you consider that the topic is about a 40 something guy living with his dementia aging mother who seems to remember things as if it was in the 1950's but just when you think you have her all figured out you really are way off base. Ruth Cracknell is simply brilliant as the aging mother who will go to any length to have Arthur her son to herself. Gary McDonald is a brilliant Australian actor who can play a wide of variety roles who just doesn't seem to get the recognition that many other Aussie stars get. So in short if you like smart witty and original humor that even your kids will enjoy then this show is for you.
