The Story So Far

26 mins

Woodley (Frank Woodley) is the chaotic and accident prone, yet devoted father of seven-year-old Ollie (Alexandra Cashmere). Recently divorced, his ex-wife Em (Justine Clarke) couldn't live amongst the chaos but Woodley secretly hopes that one day he'll win her back and they'll be a family again. But with Em's new boyfriend Greg (Tom Long) on the scene, it's not going to be easy. For Em, Greg is reliable and focused, everything that Woodley wasn't while they were married, and it doesn't take long for Greg to slip easily into the fabric of their lives. Woodley struggles to come to terms with Em's new relationship and endeavours to prove to Em that he's still worthy of her love. Ollie loves her dad to bits and Woodley's determined to never let her down or for her to lose the special spot in her heart she holds just for him. But as Greg's affection for Em grows, and Em in turn sees a possible future with Greg, will Woodley be able to win Em back before it's too late? In the first episode, we learn why Woodley's marriage went all wrong and see Woodley at work at his latest job, handing out flyers for an egg factory - dressed as an egg. On the day of Ollie's school concert, Woodley finds himself stuck in the egg suit. Not wanting to let Ollie down, Woodley's determined to make it - egg suit and all.

The Big C

4 Seasons
Cathy Jamison is a suburban Minneapolis high school teacher, wife and mother with less than a perfect life, despite it perhaps seeming so to much of the outside world. Her life is given a major shock when she is diagnosed with melanoma, the first news of such to her being when it is at advanced stage IV, meaning that she will most likely succumb to it within short order barring some extreme or radical intervention. Cathy goes through a myriad of emotions concerning the diagnosis, including how she will deal with it in relation to family, friends and people close to her in other ways. These people include: Paul Jamison, her college sweetheart husband, who is often just another big kid in their relationship, while Cathy has acted the responsible adult; Adam Jamison, Cathy and Paul's teenaged son who is going through typical issues of being a teenager and only child; Sean Tolkey, Cathy's hyper-environmental anti-establishment brother, who chooses to be homeless to live off the grid and who abhors what he sees as Cathy's bourgeois suburban lifestyle; her students, such as Andrea Jackson, who openly stands her ground on any issue, including her weight problem and her African-American background; and her elderly seemingly crotchety female long-time neighbor, who Cathy has not made the effort to know despite their close proximity for years.
