Shades of 'A year in Provence.' George Turner writes a column of exactly 800 words. His wife has recently died leaving him with two teenage children.
George has decided to leave Sydney to go to the small town of Weld in New Zealand. A place he himself went surfing as a kid. His children are not happy.
This opener sees the Turner family heading from one disaster to another. Moving on is going to be more of a challenge. Never mind getting a good internet connection, the family are involved in road traffic accident, their house is not the one they thought they bought and is incomplete, their possessions did not arrive as the cargo ship sank.
George decides one way another he will make a start of his new life with his family.
A interesting opener for this drama which has something for everyone. It seems like an easy going drama, with some humour and something for all age group.
It was the BBC that showed Neighbours on daytime television in 1986 and it proved to be a bigger hit in Britain than its native Australia. Maybe 800 Words could have legs.
