Offspring - Disc 5

Offspring, the Australian drama-comedy, returned for a 4th series. 

There's been a number of very good Australian comedy shows, but unfortunately the only one that seems to have made any impact here in the US is the 1984 - 1994 sitcom Mother & Son. I'm assuming it must have been picked up by some PBS stations or something. Garry McDonald starred as Arthur, but we haven't seen much of him since then. I recall him being in the excellent film Rabbit-Proof Fence and an episode of Bad Cop Bad Cop in 2002 and also in a recent episode of Rake as well as a 1999 episode of Halifax f.p. He was also in a mini-series I just posted last week: The Incredible Journey of Mary Bryant. 
Anyway, Garry has been in the past two series of Offspring.
