Summer Heights High

Summer Heights High


May we recommend 'Summer Heights High' a new Australian comedy coming to BBC Three on Tuesday 10th June at 10.30pm. Its amazing!

Summer Heights High The award-winning mockumentary-style comedy is written and stars Chris Lilley. Playing all three main characters, Lilley brings to life Jonah Takalua, a mischievous schoolboy from Tonga with the odds stacked against him; Mr G, an ego-driven drama teacher with delusional showbiz dreams; and Ja'mie King, a bitchy private schoolgirl on a student exchange, set to make her mark on Summer Heights High.

Shocking, absurd and often dark, Chris Lilley's uncanny insight into human behaviour reveals a world where small issues become huge, social groups are important, careers are built, young minds are moulded, hopes are shattered and dreams are realised.

Its much like Catherine Tate meets 'The Office'. How do we know? Well thats the beauty of having an Australian house mate. The two stronger characters are probably Mr G and Ja'mie but over the course of the series you will soon see Jonah's character develop.Summer Heights High

Summer Heights High is the winner of two Australian Logie Awards (Most Popular Actor and Most Outstanding Comedy) and a Chicago Hugo Award for Best Comedy Series – and it is the best-selling TV series DVD in Australian history.

Called "one of our favourite shows on the planet" by gossip blogger Perez Hilton, Summer Heights High's high-profile fans include Kylie and Dannii Minogue, Nicole Kidman, Barry Humphries, Rachel Griffiths and Trey Parker.

So don't say we didn't warn you!

The series contains some bad language.
