[QUOTE="Mel O'Drama, post: 438648, member: 23"] That sounds right. I caught that reference as well and thought that might be the allusion. It briefly threw me when his wife was talking about wanting to move to Canberra, because it felt like a soapy setup for her potentially discovering his double-life there, so for a time I wondered if she was still in the dark about it. I guess his decision to quit politics was giving some kind of closure to that storyline, and his wife's concern that the press might dig deeper after his announcement made it clear she was aware what was going on. They also complemented each other well. Between the two of them ABC had all bases covered, really. The edgy urban one and the cosier rural one. The way the Aussie TV industry works there seem to be so few good parts for actors - especially older, character actors - so a series like [I]SITA[/I] must have seemed heaven sent. Shame it ended up being such a brief one. [/QUOTE]
