Curator’s notes
This title sequence is a classic. The Provost Brothers’ repetitive jingle is synced with multiple images of Ask the Leyland Brothers T-shirts, some of them wet and worn by women emerging from the sea. It’s a none-too-subtle attempt to engrave the title on the viewer’s subconscious.
The ubiquitous orange bus is the real star of the titles, as it travels through a variety of Australian locations. The supporting cast of children, animals, miners, racing-car drivers and motorcyclists help set up an expectation of variety.
