The Hollowmen was a straight-faced and fast paced comedy-drama set in the offices of the Central Policy Unit, a special think tank set up by the Prime Minister to help him in his most important task - getting re-elected.

"The Prime Minister said it's your decision"
"I was afraid of that"
After all these years, there are still jokes to be found!
"A blippy dip" 😄😄😄
I doubted it when it happened, but there's no fucking way Albo and Dutton decided to change their glasses on a whim without consulting this type of appearance shit.
You understand this was made in 2008. They're taking the piss out of Rudd and to a lesser degree, Howard.
I noticed Dutton started wearing glasses... Think they're meant to frame his face, they surprisingly help, but they're carrying the team at this point
@@edwardness7497 if you're old enough, the puppet masters did exactly the same thing with Doug Anthony back in the 70's, made him over to make him look more urbane and not some useless hillbilly Hick. And like Dutton, it really didn't work, because the people already knew his true colours.
@@slatibaadfast does that make him wrong? Just makes the show prophetic, or at least shows that things never change
@@slatibaadfast No I did not realise that, but that kinda proves my point. Nothing changes in politics. Appearance matters
"you can't name a single issue in the last 5 weeks we have not deferred to the relevant committee."

As opposed to??
The Hollowmen is taken from the brilliant T.S. Eliot poem of the same name. You're welcome.
This doesnt only.speak to the laxk of progress in Government but also the shallowness of how people elect their representatives.
Ouch! T.S.Eliot
We are the hollow men
We are the stuffed men
Leaning together
Headpiece filled with straw. Alas!
Our dried voices, when
We whisper together
Are quiet and meaningless
As wind in dry grass
Or rats' feet over broken glass
In our dry cellar
Hollowmen cast was so much better than Utopia! Wish they could bring this team back!!
I don't think there's any great difference. Frontline great cast too.
Utopia boxed the Working Dog writers into a narrower scope and consequently got stale. All it could deal with is the problems of a government infrastructure authority.
The Hollowmen format allowed them to take on any topical issue because the office of the PM could plausibly deal with anything.
@@michaelfisher9671 That would be a problem if they had 8 seasons in a row. I think they've perhaps got to the point where it would be stale if they kept going. Frontline was perhaps more narrow and 3 seasons was fine, but enough.
Agree with suits. Tarocash polyester jobs?
