:30 Seconds + Welcher & Welcher

Here's some more funny stuff from Down Under. A little walk on the sleazy side: advertising and lawyers.

:30 Seconds was a recent sitcom on the Comedy Channel (Australia) that satirises the world of advertising. Remember, TV only exists to sell advertising and it lures us in with programs like this. Earlier this year the BBC ran a similar program called The Persuasionists. Wonder if it was inspired by :30 Seconds? Speaking of "30"....30 years ago the BBC ran another similar sitcom called Watch This Space.

Welcher & Welcher goes back about 7 years and featured the popular comedy partners Shaun Micallef and Francis Greenslade along with Robyn Butler (who created and starred in another good one called The Librarians which I hope to add soon). Episode 3 is missing about the last 30 seconds and credits. Sorry.
