[pressgang] Quote of the Day, September 16, 2023

[Matt Saunders]

It's a great article - bringing out how PG was maybe so more memorable
because - like the Junior Gazette - it didn't patronise the audience and
was genuinely funny and often risque but without being exploitative.

Press Gang streams on Britbox - for those in the UK with a subscription
to that.  But it saddens me you can't see it again in Australia as it
feels like the show was actually much more popular over there than it
was here in the UK!  I remember the early days of this list (which
scarily is now 27 years ago) being dominated numbers-wise by Aussies
(and there was nothing wrong with that).

Here's hoping someone picks up the antipodean streaming rights one
day...  

Cheers,
Matt.
