72419 Round The Twist
Just caught the first three episodes upon Amazon and thought Tony Twist looks a lot like Peter Rodger.

Do any of you lads remember the show?

I remember it. I stopped watching it because there was an episode that scared me too much. I forget the details so I can't give any of you RTT superheads any clues about which one it was, but I am confident you would bully me if you managed to identify the episode.

Australian children's TV on the whole was the absolute tits, however. I watched something called Tomorrow's End when I was very young, and loved that (it was a sequel to The Girl From Tomorrow, which is more famous but I might not even have been born when that was made). Also, having grown up outside of the UK, I saw a couple of real life-changing masterpieces that were clearly made by the same studio but might never have been shown in this country. Mirror Mirror was brilliant, and Spellbinder was even better. And you can't even get it on DVD now!

tl;dr fuck Round The Twist. It was overrated.

The Girl From Tomorrow is the first ever sci-fi I remember viewing as a 6 year old in September 1990. I saw it again upon YouTube in 2008 and it held up as good entertainment but may be that's nostalgia talking.

Spellbinder was pretty decent too, I remember the medieval girl from the alternate dimension visiting the protagonist's home in Australia and she made a mess of his kitchen. The show depicts class struggles and keeping peasants ignorant to maintain power, well.

Half the fun with watching the Australian imports was occasionally seeing the same actors turn up in multiple different programmes, presumably for the same reason why if you paid attention you'd see the same people turn up in multiple episodes of The Bill or Casualty. There are only so many people in Equity.

Another classic. It was based on a book, which I just tried to find online, but the search results are swamped by the Aquila children's magazine which does admittedly sound quite good.

If anyone fancies a copy of the Aquila book, you can buy it here: https://www.fantasticfiction.com/n/andrew-norriss/aquila.htm

I feel like I watched a lot of this show. But the only plot I remember, was the one where a boat full of Vikings turn up, seduce the female characters, then bugger off back to the past with a hairdryer which is then discovered as an ancient artifact.
