Pizza (2000)
Top show
This show is seriously funny. It does not claim to be art it's sole function is to make us laugh and to make its connections rich. It succeeds is making us laugh, and if Paul the Producer/Director/Writer/Actor is to believed, it has succeeded in making him rich.
On the serious side it shows Australia's maturity in that our our ethnic communities can make fun of themselves as well as having a go at we Skips without offending anyone and we can all laugh.
Changi (2001)
Very good, very honest
My family and I enjoy this show and find it a fair thumb nail sketch of what the people went through.
My own father spent some time in Changi before going onto the Thailand-Burma Railway in "F" Force. Much as been said about the treatment the POW's received, I will just say that my father was 6 foot 1 inch and 196 lbs when Singapore fell, at the end of the war he was 5 foot 11 inches tall and 91 lbs.
No show could truly convey what the POW's went through, but this comes closer than most.
As the Ex POW's say, "If you didn't have mates you didn't survive." This show succeeds in getting this message across.
