Hi Ed,
Im 22 and being one of the older Aussies on the list I'm pretty sure I
first saw Press Gang in late 1989 (i was in year nine at the time and
going through a Grange Hill phase - anyone remember Ziggy, Robbie &
Gonch, not to mention Trevor floating in a tyre of the Isle of White
?).But it could of been in 1990 - seems so long ago now.
At that time I used to catch it every now and then but I really got
addicted when they re-ran series 1-3 for the second/third time and
showed series 4 for the first time in 1992 (which was kind of a problem
cause i was doing my HSC - yr 12 final exams and instead of studying I
was rushing home every arvo to watch pg religioulsy). It was then an
extremely painful wait for series five which wasn't shown here till late
1994 or was it early 1995. I think its been re-run a few times since
then but Im never home in time for kids tv these days and as I have
every episode on tape Im lucky enough to be able to watch whenever I
want.
What got me in ? I dont know maybe just the fact that its the best
written show on tv ever, with fantastic mix of characters and a truely
talented cast. Its hard to say.
Convention discussion has slowed a little lately - anything still
happening in Melbourne in January for the Australian Open. Or anyone
want a mini convention in Sydney and have the time to organise something
?
By the way what happened to the t-shirt idea ????
