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."

Yeah, fair, but the characters are also partly for the comedy of it, although, i think, some of those characters weren't miles away from the real people 😆

I suppose Sea Change has pretty positive positioning of many low income characters... why yes, I am re-watching that currently.

    That's the thing, I just don't see the comedy at all much of the time.

    Sea Change was great. I rewatched the first seasons not that long ago. It sits a bit different being in Melb now than NSW when it first came out.
