What's your favourite Australian TV show?
In honour of Australia Day, we take a look at some of our favourite TV that has made it from Down Under to, erm, Up Over...
Underbelly (2008)
A slick and violent dramatization of Australia’s 1990s gang wars.
MasterChef (2009-present)
Yep, this is an Australian format – and the Ozzie version of the show is by far the most entertaining. It also comes with added Gordon Ramsay.
The Slap (2011)
A snap decision has repercussions that unravel the ties between a group of friends, in a series recently remade for American audiences.
Danger 5 (2012-present)
Five spies are on a mission to kill Adolf Hitler in this entertainingly deranged 1960s-style pulp parody.
Rake (2010-2014)
A legal drama with some bite that follows a self-destructive criminal defence barrister (the series is now being remade in the US with Greg Kinnear).
Wentworth (2013-present)
Basically it’s a remake of Prisoner Cell Block H (see above), but critics have found it a worthy successor.
