This is SBS publishing an article about a show which they broadcast, so this could be considered akin to 'sponsored content' (advertisement).

Nevertheless, I don't think that detracts from Anthony Morris's article. I also note that this overall message, of working class depiction in entertainment media, has been echoed by proponents in community theatre, such as the New Theatre.

"The ideas of the ruling class are in every epoch the ruling ideas, i.e. the class which is the ruling material force of society, is at the same time its ruling intellectual force."

Is it any good? I just found a movie Paul Fenech directed in 98, Somewhere In The Darkness. I was looking for a series about the origins of Pizza that I thought he was in or made but I can't find it.

    In my opinion, it's a bundle of fun and has its moments. Upbeat, ridiculous, impolite. Can't be taken seriously. Unpasturised - for better and worse.

    It's blunt and crass, and doesn't shy away from a few occasional cheap gross-out shots, so if those aren't dealbreakers then give the first episode a watch and see if you think it's your flavour: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qr3WsMagX5g

    I'd never heard of Somewhere In The Darkness, I've only seen Fenech's non-serious comedy work. I might give it a watch when I have an hour.
