In honour of the finale, can we have a thread about the most memorable moments over the years? I haven't watched for many years now but as a kid it was on every single day.

Moments/characters I remember:

A spider falling into someone's from above the mirror in the car making her accelerate and knock down and kill another character (I think it was Cheryl?)

Joe Mangles dog Bouncer.

Joe Mangle's wife dying by being shot at in some sort of duck enclosure (I was very young for that one so could have got that wrong).

Fancying Billy and Lance and having posters of them on my bedroom wall.

A curly haired, husky voiced girl being shot. Was she called Cody?

A wheeler dealer character called Lou.

Anyone else?!

I remember the girl from tomorrow! She was called Alannah wasn’t she - at the time I’d never heard that name before and I thought it sounded futuristic! We must be a similar age as I don’t think it was long lived

Yes she did!

and @GaffNest I definitely remember Round the Twist. I can actually heard the tune in my head

"have you ever.......ever felt like this
when strange things happen...are you going round the twist"

We must be similar ages (I was born in 78 and couldn't tell you when this was)

(goes off topic completely sorry)

Also Pugwall was always on in the summer holidays. Cathy Alessi (Elspeth Ballantyne) was also in that playing Pugwall's Aunt Annabel.
Loved the Orange Organics! Their songs were so catchy 😄

Speaking of other Aussie tv shows, I also remember Heartbreak High. Wasn’t it on BBC2 in the mid 90s? Or maybe channel 4?

Does anyone remember a kids tv show called the girl from tomorrow? About a time travelling teenage girl?
A really random here, but I’m sure it was a program called Betty’s Bunch? Can’t remember what it was about but I remember the theme tune. Probably on about 30 years ago..

Betty loves the bunch, and the bunch love Betty… cos she’s so fiiiine 🤣 possibly a different meaning in those days as Betty, though a lovely middle aged foster mum, wasn’t really one’s typical idea of ‘fine’ 🤣 I believe it was from NZ.

Girl from tomorrow was amazing, CBBC drama IIRC, she was Alanna from 3000 and something, being chased by a futuristic bloke with make up and a man-bun… they got that bit right at least 😂

‘There’s no reason why you keep hurtin’ me’ is the only one I remember, they sang it every bloody episode, not exactly a rock anthem for the ages 🤣

Pugwall! All this talk of Australian kids shows, I can't believe I forgot Pugwall - I was obsessed! Michael Martin (the stepson who gaslit Julie) was in that too.
