Australian TV shows

                                                          Now this is a weird topic

Australian TV shows are by far some of the most middle ground weird shows you can find from title to characters they are both weird and fun. these shows are remembered in aussie kids heart and minds for ages.

i will run down some old show that appeared on the ABC and the BBC.


first:

Little Elvis Jones and the truckstoppers

The title character of the series is "Lil' Elvis". The opening sequence and music reveal that he was thrown out of a Gold Cadillac in a guitar case, hinting that he is the illegitimate child of Elvis Presley. He is raised by foster parents, Grace and Len, who are fervent fans of Elvis Presley. Lil' Elvis is musically talented, singing and playing the guitar and his foster mother is convinced he is the son of Elvis Presley.

Lil' Elvis and his two friends, Lionel and Janet, form the band "The Truckstoppers", and the series follows their adventures in the outback town Little Memphis/Wanapoo. Lionel is an Indigenous Australian who plays the didgeridoo, and has a penchant for exclaiming "deadly". Janet is a beret wearing Asian girl who plays the drums.

The Truckstoppers recurring enemy is the businessman W.C. Moore, who wants to become their manager to exploit them commercially, turning Lil' Memphis into a tourist attraction. he is also obsessed with finding deposits of the mysterious mineral Berkonium. He has a Berkonium marble, which he uses to beat children at the game of marbles, their major recreational activity. He also frequently electrically zaps his hapless limousine driver.

Round The Twist 

Based on the works of paul jenning.

this show was like other shows like Tales from the Crypt and Are you afraid of the dark but more aussie.

it had some freaky stories but out of context they are even more weird.

like a teen pisses on a tree and get pregnant.

or a boy that uses a Razer that had not been pasted down to him and keeps growning a beard.

or a Evil Dust bunny.   

Johnson and Friends 

now if you want some strange TV then look no harder then Australian Live Action Animal suit tv shows like Johnson and friends

this was just a simple kids tv show where Friends learn lessons about friendship and other kiddie stuff but what made it special was that they had made one HUGE stage for all of the show and that the show made you feel like you were toy sized.

but the costume are the scary part because of the good old dead eye look of old tv shows.





well that was my first dive into the weird world of TV. i will do more on the weirdness of tv in the future

hope you all have a goodnight and good future.
