Castle, The

Australia, Film, 1997

Another of those films that comes out of Australia that does absolutely nothing for the reputation of the Australian when it is shown abroad - except for the reputation that means they make bloomin' good films of course. Charles 'Bud' Tingwell is lawyer Lawrence Hammill, who offers his services to the Kerrigan family and their neighbours to save their house - under a compulsory purchase order so a large company can extend the runway of an airport, and Tiriel Mora is the incompetent local lawyer.

Cody

Australia, TV Series, 1996
