What a brilliant performance by Ruth Cracknell! She blends comedy and pathos perfectly, and she makes the character come to life and feel completely real. Sad, funny, touching - a real masterclass of a performance. :)

hahahaha Arthur - I might be getting a job in Canberra. Maggie - In Canberra? Well, well, I knew they had the government there, but I didn't know anyone worked there.

Arthur : He comes crawling around here once a month with a bunch of rotten flowers and guess who gets the big tick and the kookaburra badge?!?! Hahahaha could not stop laughing, what a wonderful television show. I just can't stand 'Robbie'

they remind me of my husband and his mother and also I loved the caravan episode - she could always have had a carer even in the 80s and had someone come around and look after her while he went to Canberra lol

Love that show. Love still watching it! I'm pretty sure I had a road rage with Garry McDonald in 1985, just north of Cairns! We threatened each other with violence he was very stressed and I caught up with him at the Sheridan Hotel Car Park at Palm Cove! 😂😂😂 If it wasn't Garry it was his Doppleganger! 😂😂😂😂

Is Deirdre going to look after Maggie, if Arthur did move away? No, of course not. And she accuses Maggie of being manipulative. Pffttt! Well, bugger off, Deirdre. You ended it with Arthur. So you don't get to control him anymore.

I wish that I could learn where the ‘home’ scenes were filmed ? It looks incredibly alike to a real, good old-fashioned Aussie home ! The sort that the ABC leftists loathe & snigger about these days 😂
