That's pretty much the only reason I want the show to do well, she's great on The Good Wife (though Martha Plimpton is my favourite guest star)

We Australians make fun of their accents all the time. They say 'fush and chups' instead of 'fish and chips.

Australia's Prime Minister was born in Wales. So I don't think we have any laws about that kind of stuff, other than citizenship. You need to be a citizen to work for the federal government even as a bureaucrat though.

Almost tempted to watch this season (gave up after 2, but somehow saw the Prom episode last season) with the mention of Dean Geyer, half because he's Australian, half because he's attractive. I pretty much watched that season of Australian Idol just for him. Can't remember its number, or who won.

I assumed she was playing two different characters. I mean, the Doctor only knows the sound of her voice, so it's not like he'll look at 'Clara' in the Christmas special and say 'Oswin!'. I don't know, my thoughts on this aren't fully developed.

I've enjoyed this show, but I don't take it particularly seriously, and as someone who isn't American, I didn't actually know half of the news stories about which they were reporting the truth, except for the pilot and some of the Bin Laden stuff.

I think it says a lot that when I read the episode title I couldn't remember what happened until I read the review. While it didn't make a big impression on me, I love all of the bits with Donna.

The most frustrating part of the Australian broadcast is the fact taht our athletes are so early on in the parade of nations that instead of actually paying attention to all the different countries' athletes, they turn back to footage of Australian athletes every 30 seconds.
