Congratulations Nowhere Boys! I enjoyed watching this with my daughter. Thanks ABC3 for screening great shows like Dance Academy and Nowhere Boys.
Good to see Redesign My Brain win an award. Any word if the ABC has any future shows in the pipeline with Todd Sampson?
Nowhere Boys beat Dance Academy :O
They deserve it anyways. Great show! They should’ve done a second season.
