An eight-part online miniseries released in 2014. The series looks at Australian culture and language through the eyes of the teachers and students of the fictional 'Delhi College of Linguistics.
At the Delhi College of Linguistics in India, students of linguistics and aspiring migrants to Australia are taught about elements of Australian culture such as Australian lingo, rhyming slang, grub, local celebrities, how to 'chuck a sickie' and how to pass the citizenship test. The show features a foul mouthed cockatoo known as Chopper, an impersonation of Pauline Hanson and a re-enactment of a Ned Kelly hold-up.
An introduction to the Australian vernacular, with particular emphasis on their penchant for expletives and derogatory put-downs.
A terrifying look at the Aussie diet. Includes an Indian take on ‘How to build your own barbie.’
Like the mother tongue itself, the Brits invented Rhyming Slang, the Australians have turned it into an art form. From Barry Crocker (shocker) to Germaine Greer (beer).
Includes a truly C-class impersonations of Pauline Hanson and a clumsy re-enactment of a Ned Kelly hold-up. Maharaji Davo takes us through the car used by Mel Gibson in Mad Max. The students also partake in a dress-as-a-famous-Aussie day.
‘Chopper’ the talking cocky takes over the class with his incessant foul mouth/beak. The students adopt some anglicised names and then convert them/Australianise them to varying levels of success. Eg. Gibson to ‘Gibbo’, Leslie to ‘Leso’.
A deep and disturbing look at the great Australian beach holiday and their obsession with National holidays. Includes a re-enactment of a camping trip to Rosebud.
A way-too detailed account of how pervasive the humble blowfly is on Australian life. Also further examines Aussie beach culture.
The students sit a mock Australian Citizenship Test. We also see the students graduation.
