If I asked you what your favourite Australian TV show of all time was, what would you say?
Sea Change? Always Greener? The Secret Life Of Us?
What about Packed To The Rafters? Love My Way? Offspring?
Or even Neighbours or Home and Away?
Australia has just celebrated 60 years of TV.
And to mark the occasion Today decided to conduct a poll asking people what their favourite Aussie TV show was. However when the results came in, not everyone was happy.
Because… McLeod’s Daughters won the number one spot.
Laura and Jessie discuss the results on the latest episode of The Binge:
McLeod’s Daughters – I hear you say? WHY? That hasn’t been around for YEARS.
But what you really should be saying is WELL, OF COURSE IT IS. Because I can honestly tell you, hand on my heart – that McLeod’s Daughters IS the best Australian TV show of all time.*
Sorry, all other Australian shows in existence.
*At this point, you must know that when I was 12 I forced my parents to drive me to South Australia from country NSW so that I could see where McLeod’s Daughters was made. I also own all seven box sets on DVDs.
The Season 4 cast of McLeod's Daughters.

I watched it once, a horse took fright at a car, reared, and the "rider" fell off. Very few horses broken to saddle will rear at a car, any competent rider can sit a rear.
For me, it would have to be Sea Change. That came along at a time when I was fighting a very difficult health issue and I knew I'd get a laugh every Sunday night at 8.30. Sometimes it was from the delightful Heather or the wonderful woman determined to make the Khama Sutra required reading. Loved it.
