Default Summer Heights High

Anyone else watch this on BBC3? I only saw it last night for the first time and it was SO funny. Chris Lilley is a genuis. All three of the characters are hilarious.

Quote:
According to the prologue, a production and filming team travelled to a typical Australian public high school and follow the events and daily lives surrounding the students and staff for one term. The team would film a slice of life-style documentary from the opinions of the students and staff, especially the three main characters: Ja'mie King, a mean girl-type prefect exchanged from a private school, Mr G, a charismatic drama teacher, and Jonah Takalua, a stereotypical Pacific Islander delinquent, all played by the series' writer Chris Lilley.

The series is filmed in a documentary style, with the supporting cast drawn from the real-life students and staff of the school where the series is set. The programme explores the facets of a typical Australian public high school such as social cliques, bullying, teenage slang, stereotyping, profanity, racism and homophobia by showcasing three different individuals: the bully, the exchange student (originally from a private school) and the teacher. The characters in the show do not interact with each other in any way, however some secondary characters such as Ms. Murray have appeared and been mentioned in the story of more than one character.

Ive watched it since the start. Its fantastic!! I love the play with mr G and his previous plays, ''Tsunamarama''!!! (sp?). Ja'mie's one liners are great too, and when she went out with that year 7 was just brilliant!!

Comedy genius!!
