The Games - Season 1 (1998) - By.Smelly-Cat


The Australian hit mockumentary TV comedy series parodying the 2000 Sydney Olympic Games organising committee.
Highly recommended !!

Presented by the formidable comedy team of John Clarke, Gina Riley, Ross Stevenson and Bryan Dawe, this hit ABC comedy series is comic genius at its best. A deadpan, satirical look at the bureaucrats in the throws of organising the extravaganza that was the Sydney 2000 Olympic Games, the Games features humorous barbs at the 100m track, new technology, Y2K, land claims, strikes - and hits the mark every time!
The entire series one. Available for the first time on all the best torrent sites.
-------------------------------------------------------------------

This is a mischievious Australian, deadpan comedy, which takes a satirical look at the bureaucrats as they orchestrate the extravaganza that will be the 2000 olympic games.
Written by Clarke and Ross Stevenson, The Games focused on a small group of bureaucrats within SOCOG (the Sydney Organising Committee for the Olympic Games) played by Clarke, Dawe and Gina Reily, with Nicholas Bell as the Secretary to the Minister for the Olympics. The first series screened in 1998 and a second was made in 2000 and broadcast in the run-up to the Sydney Olympics. The show won Best Screenplay on a Television Drama at the 1998 AFI Awards and Most Outstanding Comedy Program at the 2001 Logie Awards. It has been broadcast in New Zealand, Europe and North America. The scripts of both series were released in book form and most episodes were released on video. Series 1 is now available on DVD, with Series 2 coming soon.

It's the countdown to the Sydney 2000 Olympics, and the Head of Administration and Logistics, John Clarke, and his colleagues, Bryan Dawe, Head of Accounts, Budgeting and Finance, and Gina Riley, Marketing and Liaison Manager wish everyone to know that everything is running smoothly. Certainly, the running track is not actually 100 meters, allowing Bryan to break the world record - but we can always put a bend in it, that's no problem. And 30% of the athletes and their sponsors may refuse to come because of the new fool-proof drug test - but that's a small price to pay to be known as the the very first drugs-free Olympics. And as for the rumours about the recently deceased IOC VIP dying in a King's Cross brothel - nonsense. That's just media hype. As are the rumours that the fencing may be dropped because there aren't enough venues or that the la crosse centre isn't actually built yet. In future may we suggest you not believe everything you see on television?
