Round the Twist – Series One – Spaghetti Pig Out television program – 1989

This is a clever and funny episode, based on a simple ‘What if…’ premise. There is loads of silly slapstick, and a spectacular dose of yuck at the end.

Round the Twist – Series Two – Nails television program – 1992

This episode is quite different from many others in the Round the Twist series. While it still has lots of humour, it is a rather more serious, romantic and sad story.

The second series introduced new actors in many key roles but the change of cast didn’t have any impact on the popularity of Round the Twist.

S

This advertisement was made to screen only in cinemas prior to a feature film program despite being made after the introduction of television.
