1
00:00:00,680 --> 00:00:04,280
Speaker 1: New Jersey and Amanda jam Nation. Do you remember the

2
00:00:04,320 --> 00:00:05,640
Speaker 1: show Sylvania Waters?

3
00:00:05,840 --> 00:00:09,240
Speaker 2: Do I did you watch it? No? No, I didn't

4
00:00:09,280 --> 00:00:11,600
Speaker 2: watch it at the time. It wasn't in my wheelhouse.

5
00:00:11,600 --> 00:00:13,560
Speaker 2: I was only probably eighteen.

6
00:00:13,280 --> 00:00:17,760
Speaker 1: Or it was nineteen ninety two, twenty two, Yeah, nineteen

7
00:00:17,800 --> 00:00:21,240
Speaker 1: ninety two it started and it was made. It was

8
00:00:21,600 --> 00:00:25,000
Speaker 1: made about an Australian family living in funnily enough, Sylvania Waters.

9
00:00:25,520 --> 00:00:27,840
Speaker 1: It was the first kind of fly on the wall

10
00:00:27,880 --> 00:00:31,520
Speaker 1: documentary series. British people at that time were obsessed with

11
00:00:31,560 --> 00:00:34,160
Speaker 1: Home and Away. They're obsessed with neighbors, so they thought

12
00:00:34,200 --> 00:00:38,159
Speaker 1: they'd expand this Australian obsession by looking at a regular

13
00:00:38,200 --> 00:00:43,960
Speaker 1: Australian family. The lot the ad said could these be

14
00:00:44,120 --> 00:00:48,480
Speaker 1: your neighbors? And Australians hated it because they felt this

15
00:00:48,920 --> 00:00:52,080
Speaker 1: so called Bogan family didn't represent them, And by the

16
00:00:52,159 --> 00:00:53,959
Speaker 1: end of the series I think we realized, actually, yes

17
00:00:54,000 --> 00:00:57,480
Speaker 1: they do. The maker, the documentary maker's name is Paul Watson.

18
00:00:57,520 --> 00:00:59,600
Speaker 1: He's just recently passed away, which is why this has

19
00:00:59,600 --> 00:01:02,160
Speaker 1: been in the news again. At the time, The Sydney

20
00:01:02,200 --> 00:01:04,959
Speaker 1: Morning Herald said that Watson was pandering to every British

21
00:01:05,000 --> 00:01:10,880
Speaker 1: preconception about Australians that the family was materialistic, argumentative, heavy drinking.

22
00:01:11,520 --> 00:01:15,040
Speaker 1: Nolean was described as racist, drunk, crass and blonde.

23
00:01:15,520 --> 00:01:17,320
Speaker 2: What an insult blonde.

24
00:01:17,800 --> 00:01:20,840
Speaker 1: But I'll play some snippets for you. And this is

25
00:01:20,880 --> 00:01:24,280
Speaker 1: the level of their interaction. So there was Noline, her husband,

26
00:01:25,760 --> 00:01:29,560
Speaker 1: Laurie Laurie, and they're a mixed bag. I think they

27
00:01:29,600 --> 00:01:32,479
Speaker 1: may have had one child together, but otherwise they'd brought

28
00:01:32,520 --> 00:01:35,800
Speaker 1: other children to this relationship and the level of chat

29
00:01:36,160 --> 00:01:38,640
Speaker 1: had this high level of conflict. This is just how

30
00:01:38,640 --> 00:01:41,720
Speaker 1: they spoke to each other. He's an example, for God's sake.

31
00:01:41,800 --> 00:01:43,920
Speaker 2: He can have a bloody birthday cosse he can.

32
00:01:43,959 --> 00:01:45,360
Speaker 1: But he's just saying it. They're all going to bring

33
00:01:45,400 --> 00:01:47,120
Speaker 1: friends and they're going any Boddy a million people here.

34
00:01:47,160 --> 00:01:49,480
Speaker 1: We haven't got the room, of course, we haven't done

35
00:01:49,480 --> 00:01:53,760
Speaker 1: the read. He's not stupid what you're saying. Strath Laurie.

36
00:01:53,840 --> 00:01:55,720
Speaker 1: One of these days, I'll pack me bloody bags and

37
00:01:55,760 --> 00:01:58,960
Speaker 1: I'm going out of here. Truly, there's more drama living

38
00:01:59,000 --> 00:01:59,360
Speaker 1: in this.

39
00:01:59,320 --> 00:02:00,720
Speaker 2: House than letting out of it.

40
00:02:00,840 --> 00:02:06,000
Speaker 1: I don't know why. I don't know why I love.

41
00:02:05,920 --> 00:02:08,280
Speaker 2: This that it's like a scene from Home in a way.

42
00:02:08,520 --> 00:02:11,480
Speaker 1: Well, the UK The British press said it was neighbors

43
00:02:11,520 --> 00:02:13,680
Speaker 1: gone mad, home and away on drugs was kind of

44
00:02:13,680 --> 00:02:15,880
Speaker 1: how they wrote about it. This is how they even

45
00:02:15,919 --> 00:02:17,920
Speaker 1: have a discussion about pens.

46
00:02:18,160 --> 00:02:19,680
Speaker 2: That's not a brand new pen, you.

47
00:02:21,360 --> 00:02:23,080
Speaker 1: That's That's not that one, though.

48
00:02:22,919 --> 00:02:24,000
Speaker 2: Is it.

49
00:02:23,960 --> 00:02:24,760
Speaker 1: It's one of those that.

50
00:02:25,560 --> 00:02:27,560
Speaker 2: There's nothing wrong with that. One of the ones was

51
00:02:27,560 --> 00:02:29,240
Speaker 2: a sign. That's what I'm saying to you. I didn't

52
00:02:29,240 --> 00:02:32,800
Speaker 2: say it's a fun one new hair. I picked up

53
00:02:32,800 --> 00:02:34,440
Speaker 2: one of those first. I said, that's the third one.

54
00:02:34,480 --> 00:02:36,239
Speaker 2: Didn't you hear me say that, But there's nothing wrong

55
00:02:36,280 --> 00:02:36,840
Speaker 2: with that one?

56
00:02:39,800 --> 00:02:44,280
Speaker 1: Exhausting, absolutely exhausting. And then the kids were around, and

57
00:02:44,320 --> 00:02:48,960
Speaker 1: then the conversation just continued. Go upstairs and shampoo your hair.

58
00:02:49,200 --> 00:02:51,119
Speaker 2: Got no money to do it. I haven't gotten enough

59
00:02:51,120 --> 00:02:53,840
Speaker 2: money to buy a chain of freakin toothpaste. So they're like,

60
00:02:55,400 --> 00:02:59,880
Speaker 2: what are you talking about? Talking? Are you talking?

61
00:03:00,000 --> 00:03:01,560
Speaker 1: I just saw the staring and put the money into

62
00:03:01,560 --> 00:03:01,959
Speaker 1: the race.

63
00:03:01,840 --> 00:03:05,720
Speaker 2: Car bullshit and you stick that up your nice boy kid.

64
00:03:06,080 --> 00:03:06,480
Speaker 2: That's it.

65
00:03:07,480 --> 00:03:08,200
Speaker 1: That is it?

66
00:03:08,680 --> 00:03:11,160
Speaker 2: By whatn't I mean to say to my relatives?

67
00:03:11,320 --> 00:03:14,200
Speaker 1: You can't stay in the house. Laurie's head, white mine

68
00:03:14,240 --> 00:03:22,280
Speaker 1: cart Jo money, mighty wonder I drink, No wonder I drink.

69
00:03:22,320 --> 00:03:26,919
Speaker 1: It was interesting though that Nolane has listen up to

70
00:03:27,000 --> 00:03:29,600
Speaker 1: this maths. This has been going on for many, many years.

71
00:03:29,680 --> 00:03:32,440
Speaker 1: Noline said that the edit wasn't kind to her, and

72
00:03:32,560 --> 00:03:33,919
Speaker 1: one of the things that really upset he is it

73
00:03:34,040 --> 00:03:37,240
Speaker 1: made the documentary made it look like she'd gone to

74
00:03:37,240 --> 00:03:39,800
Speaker 1: get her hair done while her son's girlfriend had a baby.

75
00:03:40,080 --> 00:03:41,480
Speaker 1: In fact, she said, I got my head on three

76
00:03:41,520 --> 00:03:43,680
Speaker 1: days before and it made me look heartless and uncaring.

77
00:03:44,160 --> 00:03:47,400
Speaker 1: So from time immemorial, Fly on the Wall is not

78
00:03:47,520 --> 00:03:48,000
Speaker 1: your friend.

79
00:03:48,200 --> 00:03:50,920

80
00:03:50,960 --> 00:03:51,839
Speaker 2: to reality TV.

81
00:03:51,880 --> 00:03:53,320
Speaker 1: And what about all that drama?

82
00:03:53,560 --> 00:03:56,160
Speaker 2: Yeah, what about that drama. That's a nice snapshot of

83
00:03:56,160 --> 00:03:56,760
Speaker 2: the whole series.

84
00:03:56,920 --> 00:04:00,480
Speaker 1: No, I promise you all. That was episode one series

85
00:04:00,520 --> 00:04:01,960
