This week on True Story with Hamish & Andy is Phil’s Story.
Phil wasn’t a fussy twentysomething back in the 1980s. All he needed was his mates, beer, and a gorgeous sheila hanging off his arm. And he would have had everything he wanted, if it wasn’t for a pesky dog.
The cast includes Broden Kelly, TJ Power, Christie Whelan Browne, Jess Harris, Troy Kinne, Kevin Hofbauer and Zachary Ruane.
It was the height of eighties kitsch cool, and Phil was single and ready to mingle at a subur- ban Brisbane BBQ at Robbo’s place. Armed with an esky full of beer, he was met by an array of coleslaw, blue eye shadow and big hair. Keen to win the affection of single girl Shazza, Phil sat down to sink a few tinnies and build some Dutch courage. But fate had other ideas. When a kid playing nearby threw a tennis ball Phil’s way, Robbo’s dog closely followed. And when the ball hit Phil in the groin, the dog continued unabated. In this moment, Phil’s chances with Shazza went south. What ensues involves gaffer tape, good ol’ fashioned Aussie ingenuity, a trip to the hospital, and Phil getting to know Robbo’s pet dog a little too well.
8:40pm Tuesday on Nine.

Always have to try and avoid the True Story adverts as they basically give all the plot away unfortunately (and no I didn’t read all of this article!)
So it’s ye olde “dog bites man in the balls” scenario ?
The promo basically gives it all away anyway.
Hasn’t the team from True Story done something similar last season ? – or perhaps that involved an erect penis, I may be mistaken.
First class fare no doubt, aimed squarely at home grown bogans… really what a waste of space.
Lucky Mr K. Packer isn’t around, this tripe would get pulled off as fast as Doug Mulray did back in the day…
This has the potential of being the the most blokey show for a while. 1980’s ? ? They should have chosen the 1970’s that was when blokiness and ockerism ( blame Whitlam) was really on the go and hasn’t been surpassed yet. I remember well the 70’s when we carried on like…
But the True Story happened in the 80s.
