Great show for some fun relaxing TV

Warning: Spoilers
Got the Box Set from the stores a few months ago, remembering how many times i used to watch it as a kid, based off the equally awesome Paul Jennings short stories! :P

Anyway its a great show for a time killer, relaxing, etc, and some episodes (actually a Lot) make you wonder how it actually made it as a kids show LOL (Whirling Dervish probably being the most controversial one haha)

So good fun for kids, teens, young adults, etc, and also pretty cool to see how the show works around the different actors they get - the first original Nell had such a presence on screen that the second one couldn't match with her look so they didn't just try to pretend it was the same actor, equally the first Harold Gribble was a smooth salesman sort of guy, where as the second Harold Gribble was...not so smooth :P

Really Good Show though :D :P

(also worth noting not sure if its just the DVD's I had or the entire Australian release, But one DVD is mis-labelled as Disc One (its actually is disc two though so no need to return it before you check it) And Also the video quality to start off on the Very 1st episode is a bit iffy, but gets a lot better on all the other episodes from memory)
