FORMAT: PAL REGION: 4.
COLOUR RUNNING TIME: 345 MINS.
REVIEW: For George Turner (Erik Thomson), a columnist for a popular Sydney newspaper and devoted father of teenage kids, Shay (Melina Vidler) and Arlo (Benson Jack Anthony), life has always been pretty good. His biggest concern, aside from raising a family, is ensuring that he pens exactly 800 words in his weekly column for editor Jan (Bridie Carter). His precise word count is a personal quirk. It gives. George control and stability, but that all vanishes when a family tragedy occurs.
Just as George questions his sanity and his decision to move to the seaside town of Weld in New Zealand, along comes Woody (Rick Donald), a fellow Aussie-import surfer and handyman who may be as much as of a hindrance as he is help; and the women of Weld - four single local ladies who are intrigued by the new arrivals. They plan to become big players in whatever future awaits George and his family. BONUS FEATURES: *Behind the scenes featurette.
