    • Quotes

      Kenneth Pearson: Behold! The finger painted egg! My... GOD... the artistry! the vision! The universality of human experience!

      [crushes egg in hand]

      Kenneth Pearson: try engaging the mind Mr.Pearson, you'll find it will vastly increase your job satisfaction. I don't remember being this 'satisfied' since I last opened my veins in the bath.

    Short lived... but why?

    An often forgotten TV series about a strange migrant experience... 1950's Australia saw mass emigration from Europe to the frontier countries, this mixture set in a migrant camp is varied and colourful to say the least. This series is highly recommended, and was too quickly forgotten.
