Sammy J & Randy in Ricketts Lane to premiere in iview binge

Upcoming ABC comedy Sammy J and Randy in Ricketts Lane is the latest to get the iview binge treatment, ahead of its TV broadcast.

All six episodes will be available on iview from September 1st for a full month, ahead of an expected October premiere.

The series sees the duo sharing house, with Sammy J as a hopeless junior lawyer while Randy is desperately trying to win back the affections of his glamorous ex-wife. It also stars Nathan Lovejoy (This is Littleton, At Home with Julia), Georgia Chara (Wentworth, Home and Away) and Samantha Healy (Mrs Biggs, McLeod’s Daughters) and, in his debut role, an alpaca named Kerry.

“This is an appalling, undergraduate series that should never have been made. We salute the ABC for giving viewers the opportunity to watch it swiftly and then move on with their lives,” Sammy J and Randy said.

ABC Head of Comedy Rick Kalowski says “As usual, Sammy J & Randy have no idea what they’re talking about. Sammy J & Randy In Ricketts Lane is a brilliantly original piece of musical comedy joy you’ll want to smash through in one go, then watch all over again. We love it.”

ABC Head of TV Strategy and Digital Products Rebecca Heap says “ABC is the home of Australian stories, home of Australian comedy and home of Australia’s favourite internet TV service – iview. Sammy J & Randy on iview in September delivers all three and showcases what the ABC does best: connecting all Australian audiences with unique Australian content.”
