the best thing i can say about the american version be that jane turner and gina reilly must be rake in the money for this crap . yes and the american rip off be show for about two episode in australia but do not rate while probably by curious viewer who be wonder how bad it would be . answer represent deplorable and a complete waste of time . the actor be relatively unknown and they do not take readily to the nuance of the australian write script . bad luck for them a they be doom to plummet with this turkey . my advice to usa viewer be dont . american should be best advise to find dvd of the original version on ebay and but be aware that some dvd be in a different zone format to those issue in the usa . otherwise and some dvd player will operate disc from both or all zone .
