Discussion of episodes currently airing in Un-American locations (anything that's aired in Australia is fair game), as well as anything else the Un-Americans feel like talking about or we feel like asking them. Please use the show discussion threads for any current-season discussion.

California, at the moment.
Snerk. Y'know, on one level, my brain understands that this is a joke, but it's 3.30am here and my geography is such that I keep getting these paranoid flashes of a town that'll transplant itself across the oceans just to confuse me...
It's possible that I should go to bed now. G'night all. :)
No, I'm sure it didn't, but mostly they do. And yes, no matter what you'd feel good.
Oh silly silly Jars. Nice try. I've been hoarding Jonathan Rhys-Meyers in the corner for quite a while now.
Ah, but do you have a friend of a friend who knows him? And your friend promised to steal you his his phone number, just so you can have it in your phone, but not call him, because that's just creepy?
He's just so pointy, and effeminate, and lithe, and ....yum. I hope they repeat Gormenghast soon. Cos, y'know - hot.
Leigh ... Elizabeth is in South Australia. It was created in the mid 1950s and UK migrants were the primary "settlers". Jimmy Barnes and his half-brother John "Swannee" Swan grew up here, as did Graham Goble and Beeb Birtles from the Little River Band and Alan Tarney of the Tarney-Spencer Band.
The only reason I know this is b/c it's etched in my brain due to a radio show I did way back in 1980. It was part of the "rock n roll highschool" hour on the original Triple M (now known as 3D Radio). Most of the students who got a turn on the show, just played any old music but since we were from Elizabeth High School, we decided to do a show around artists who came from Elizabeth.
BTW ... Michael "Tunny" Tunn -- formerly of Triple J and ABC TV -- got his start doing the Rock N Roll High School show. By the time he was on it, they'd stopped using different schools each week and just had the same students come in every week.
Okay, Jars, you win on the obsessiveness. Though the phone number thing is SCARY. But I'm still not giving him up.
I forgot Liam Neeson.
So did I! (Flog me, too!)
Micheal Palin
Oh, yes. Also, if I may be permitted to include non-living Brits, Graham Chapman.
I hope they repeat Gormenghast soon. Cos, y'know - hot.
Yeah. And had Spike Milligan in. (Okay! So I have a thing for dead funny guys! With blue eyes! It's the blue eyes, I tell you.)
I have to admit that because I knew the books, I was more than a little disturbed by how attractive I found Steerpike. Rhys-Meyers did a wonderful job, but-- disturbing, kinda.

That's praise. Disturbing is how Gormenghast *should* be.
As long as we're not time-restricted and Deb's claiming prime Richard Burton, I'd like to lay claim to Richard Harris and Robert Shaw. And Julian Sand.
Wouldn't you like have closed a pub 30 years ago with Burton, Harris and O'Toole?

Hell no. I'd have got naked.
And sold tickets.

I probably wouldn't have come close to keeping up with them, but this does sound like fun.
