Clip description

Thelma Bullpitt (Judi Farr) has gone to Rome after winning the second prize in Myer’s Italian Week competition. Her husband Ted (Ross Higgins) doesn’t want to go, so Thelma takes son-in-law Bruno’s mother with her. Meanwhile, much to Ted’s horror, Bruno’s father Enzo Bertolucci (Joseph Furst) has come to stay at the Bullpitts’ house.

Curator’s notes

by Kate Matthews

Ted and Enzo bounce Italian and Australian stereotypes off each other in a mutual, escalating display of parochialism. While the two men are convinced of their differences, the scene shows they have more in common than they think.

It is interesting to listen to the studio audience here – they seem to side with Bullpitt, even though this may not be the intention of the scene.
