Character, Comedy and Australian Culture: Summer Heights High

M
.

Summer Heights High (Princess Pictures/ABC, 2007) presents characters that are outrageous yet familiar. When Jonah Takalua first appeared on TV screens, he became a schoolyard favourite with students who copied his behaviour and distinctive use of language.

This lecture celebrates the tradition of Australian comedy characters that have captured the imaginations of young people and explores what makes them so appealing.
