In this 3-part series, presented by screen icon Jacki Weaver, we crack open a forgotten vault of Australian government films - now stored in the National Film and Sound Archive - that unearth a kaleidoscopic vision of Australia in the 1970s. Featuring an all-star cast of commentators including Ben Law, Jan Fran and Zoe Coombs Marr, and behind-the-scenes insights from the people who made and featured in these revealing films like Phil Noyce, Dr Gary Foley and Jacki herself, the series offers a fun, insightful, and nostalgic exploration of a decade of political and social change when the idea of Australia was completely reimagined and the modern nation we know today came kicking and screaming into existence.

What are the secrets to a happy family? What makes some families pull together in a crisis while others seem to fall apart? In the past few decades, science has revealed surprising truths about the qualities happy families share.

With research consistently linking family difficulties with a range of problems - from anxiety and depression to substance abuse and social breakdown - making families happy is more urgent than ever.
Following the standout success of her last series, Miriam Margolyes Almost Australian, the celebrated actor and intrepid commentator is back on the road, and heading west along the bottom of Australia, from Tasmania towards Western Australia. Miriam is on a mission to explore the unique Australian ethos of “the Fair Go” - something she swore to uphold when she became a citizen nearly ten years ago. After spending months in isolation and lockdown, Covid has left the eighty-year-old Miriam feeling more vulnerable than ever before - and she's worried the “Fair Go” could be vulnerable too. Over three distinct and highly focused episodes, she takes a deep dive into the diverse and extraordinary lives of her fellow citizens. In her unique style, and with her outrageous honesty, chutzpah, humour and insight, she uncovers Australia “behind the mask” and discovers what the Fair Go means today.
