Two Great things on Australian Television

Australia has produced a lot of shit lately on the idiot box, but two programs, two drama's I can honest to God say I am in love with and so proud to say these are Australian are Wentworth and The Time of Our Lives.

Both shows are into their second series and both shows and both are growing just nicely.

Thursday nights warm your Winter heart now with some compelling and heart felt stories across on the ABC with The Time of Our Lives. With stunning performances from Claudia Karavan and William McInnes proving he may be one of the easiest people to hate on Aussie TV.

This show is simply sublime and I hope to god the Abbott doesn't cut too much funding to the ABC. We as a nation need stories like these to be proud of to showcase talent and to employ the creative folk of this fine nation.

Stories like this are so rich and so valuable to our nations broadcaster. This is what separates the ABC & SBS from Channel Ten and the Bolt Report. If I had my way I would pay more tax to keep the ABC producing great little Aussie dramas like this.

On the other end of the scale we have Wentworth on Tuesday nights we came to grips with dropping the C bomb this week. Now Murdoch and his Foxtel is the complete opposite to the ABC, but the same when it comes to funding great little Aussie dramas. Love My Way, Spirited, Tangle & Satisfaction.

Wentworth has gone above and beyond in 2014. Season two has introduced the divine Pamela Rabe (above) as the new and fierce governor. Season two has upped the anti and really given into the dark side of a female prison. It's easy to draw comparisons against the Orange is the New Black (also just finished airing season 2 on Netflix int he US) but this is homegrown and so brilliant.

Already renewed for a third season and looking like the new cast are going to bring even more depth and viewer engagement to the series.

Foxtel have again shown they have guts not going for the usual run of the mill safe Packed to the Rafters, House Husbands and Winners & Losers formulas.

Tuesday and Thursday's are now a really divine night to have a cup of herbal tea and put your feet up to some outstanding local content. Well done to one and all working on these two damn fine shows.
