Big Deal: Complete BBC Series 1

Product Information

Documentary Australia acknowledges the Australian Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples of this nation. The series was created and written by Geoff McQueen, who created several other major television series including Give Us a Break, Stay Lucky, and The Bill. Speaking about Fox TV's interest in the show, Vogue said: 'Obviously, if I got invited to go over and make The Big Deal in America it would be absolutely brilliant because I love hosting the show.

The site carries no advertising, and I rely on donations to help with running costs and to keep the site running for your entertainment and education. Michael Crawford was originally offered the role of Robbie Box, however declined due to his stage commitments with the revival of Barnum. The resounding feedback is that this project offers a fresh and timely lens on the functioning of our democratic system. The action is played out mainly for laughs although there are one or two poignant scenes in the series. Despite the success of the show before its release viewers were not blown away by Vogue's presenting skills.By supporting Australians to better understand the current state of our political system, the film will build pathways for greater democratic engagement and advocacy for a fairer democracy. The Big Deal - a mixture of a game show and a talent show - is expected to be a Saturday night ratings hit for Virgin Media. Starring Ray Brooks, Sharon Duce and Lisa Geoghan, the series concentrated on the ups and downs of small-time London gambler Robbie Box (played by Brooks) and the effect that his poker addiction has on his long suffering girlfriend Jan Oliver (Duce) and her daughter Debby (Geoghan). Things didn’t always go to plan though, especially with the taxman on Robby’s tail and Jan always likely to walk out on him. But it's her Big Deal stint at Virgin Media that the TV presenter hopes will catapult her into the big league and maybe even across continents after it emerged that Fox TV has bought the six-part pilot series at the 3Arena, with a view to making the show for American TV.

This format brought together filmmakers with NGOs, foundations, philanthropists, social entrepreneurs, corporates, broadcasters and media — to forge powerful alliances around ground breaking films that shift consciousness, behaviour and influence policy on key social justice issues. John Masefield's enchanting children's fantasy The Box of Delights, tells the story of a young boy whose chance meeting with a Punch-and-Judy man leads him to a world where almost anything is possible. Big Deal begins with Christiaan mocking the fact that the US democracy has been taken over by big money, but he soon realises that the situation in his home country is not all that different. A shining example of a near flawlessly faithful adaptation of a canon of classic literary genius, Granada television's stylishly lavish series redefined the established film and TV image of the world renowned inhabitants of 221B Baker Street.We acknowledge the Gadigal people of the Eora Nation as the traditional custodians of the land on which we work and we pay our respects to ancestors and Elders, past and present. The extent to which money has infiltrated our political process, and the non-transparent influence of corporate lobbying, is an issue of growing concern for many Australians. Speaking ahead of last night's show debut, Vogue said the programme boasts an eclectic mix of talent.
