Episode: 2.2 ‘Workin’ Class Man’
What Happens: Market-research shows that more and more working-class families are turning away from Frontline because they see Mike as a wanker. The Frontline team set about trying to aim the show more at the working class, though Sam meets with resistance from Mike.
Elliot-Watch:
MIKE MOORE: (Laughs) He’s done it again. Elliot Rhodes with the Budget Blues – it’s an anthem for the common man.
Celebrities: Merv Hughes appears. Mike appears on Rex Hunt’s fishing show, much to Rex’s disgust.
Celebrity mentions: Ray Martin. Rick Charlesworth.
Quotes:
SAM: Let me read you a few random comments from the focus group – ‘Up himself’, ‘Poncey’, ‘Wanker’.
EMMA: Were there any negatives?
(On working-class audiences)
SAM: You tell them what they wanna hear… Aborigines are no good drug-users…
EMMA: Oh Sam!
SAM: Criminals are getting far too lenient sentences.
BROOKE: Gaols are nothing more than luxury hotels.
KATE: Asian students are taking their kids’ places at uni.
SAM: Absolutely!
EMMA: Their kids don’t go to uni!
EMMA: Talk to the people in the street?
SAM: Yeah, vox pop.
EMMA: Let’s face it, we really need to hear the opinions of people roaming aimlessly around shopping malls in the middle of the day.
(Rehearsing)
MIKE MOORE: Gidday, I’m Mike Moore, thanks for joining us.
SAM: What’d you just say?
MIKE MOORE: I said… Gidday, I’m Mike Moore…
SAM: Did you say ‘gidday’?
MIKE MOORE: I said gidday.
SAM: Can you say g’day?
MIKE MOORE: That’s what I’m saying.
SAM: No, no…
MIKE MOORE: Hey, do you want me to throw in a wink?
