Uh oh….
I don’t know how to say this without:
a) writing a Spoiler.
b) starting a controversy before one exists.
So let me just say this week’s episode of At Home with Julia has its most controversial scene so far.
Those who have accused the show of being disrespectful to the Office of the PM (and I’m not one of them) will be out in force this week, with a pretty strong argument.
The show is on much stronger turf when it’s parodying pollies, and there’s a bunch of them this week: Kevin Rudd, Tony Abbott, Julie Bishop, Wayne Swan, Paul Keating (Jonathan Biggins has his voice to a tee). And a surprise with gardener Craig McLachlan.
But they will probably all be upstaged.
You heard it here first.
The show airs 9:30pm Wednesday on ABC1.

Woah jeez people maybe David was making a joke at all the times he tries to report things and the spoilerphobes jump down his throat!
Degrading, demeaning, puerile and crass. Other than that it’s pretty average.
Will this series be released on DVD.
As I would definately buy a copy.
Loved ep1 but ep2 was pretty ordinary – lucky there’s only 2eps to go.
loves bill the dog , and is waiting for Bob Brown to either come out of the closet , of appear out of a birthday cake .
Can’t wait for this weeks episode , keep up the good work !!!!!!
Some of you need to wise up!
David probably didn’t want to reveal the gag, that way you still get a healthy laugh on the night.
I missed the 1st episode, so I watched it on IView. The show is terrible, I thinked I laughed once. The Voice of the Actress who plays Gillard is awful, i cringed every time I heard her, talk about over playing Gillards real accent.
2 thumbs Down ABC
It’s getting my 10 year old interested in politics. Or at least to the point that he walked all around Costco yesterday doing Julia Gillard impersonations.
Come on David, not even a clue?
You should be writing teasers to promote the show.
This is generally a good website, but when you make posts like this it really turns me off.
Like when you had that post about Gruen Transfer and said made everyone play a guessing game until you revealed the news at 5:30.
yaaaaaawn.
Should be a good show. Last week didn’t give the same guffaws as week 1 but hopefully this weeks ep will be up to scratch.
An article that says nothing. Reminds me of those “I know who was snorting coke in the toilet at the Logies but can’t tell you…” stories that you always here.
Either tell or STFU
@Andrew – my main criticism of this show is that it really is sexist in intent. We would never had had shows parodying the intimate lives of Bob & Hazel, Paul % Anita, John & Jeanette – parodying them as people: yes, their politics: yes, but not not their relationship. We would never have seen them organizing a date night, but then men aren’t supposed to be worried about their relationships, are they. This show only exists because we have a female PM and therefore it is sexist in intent, and that’s got nothing to do with my rather pleasant life, or which planet I live on!!
Love this show. I cant wait for this weeks episode we are finaly goling to see Paul McCarthy as Kevin Rudd, so exciting because Paul portrays kevin so very well. Also the other portayals of the rest of the Politicians should also be ausome and funny. For me this show just keeps getting better and better.
@Bob – I agree.
Slow news day David?
I found ep 1 mildly amusing but ep 2 quite appalling unfunny. This program would’ve been a lot better had it been made with true satirical wit, rather than broadly brushed caricatures. This is not The Hollowmen.
I understand from someone who’s seen it that there are “intimate relations” involved.
I watched this for the first time last week and could not stop laughing, I love how Australia can make content like this poking fun of our pollies especially on ABC.
Gets the talk back on radio busy.
Does Bill Shorten hump Julia’s leg? Or maybe take a dump on a pile of her policies?
Well done on not doing either of those things
Definately watching this week.
Heard what here first? You didn’t reveal anything.
Are there people out there accusing this program of being disrespectful?They need to get a life,or go on another planet.Eposodes 1 & 2 have given me such a great laugh,can”t wait to watch it.
