Being a new Australian at one time, it could appreciate the humor an the slang no end. Nowadays I'm scouring the internet for a DVD release of the series. We get a lot of Australian sitcoms here on TV but unfortunately it takes local knowledge to fully appreciate them since most of the clues are lost in translation.

That search led me to this site and I thought I'd respond to this blog. I played Becks (referred to on this site as "Becky", but I assure you she was anything but a Becky)in "The Sting" (episodes 737 & 738). I was then Denise Sands, now Denise Hadingham. My acting career really commenced with this role at the tender age of 13. I remained in the industry for another ten years before making the decision that it was time for a career change. ACP remains a very fond memory. The cast & crew were absolutely lovelly and there was simply nothing pretencious about ACP & everyone was very nurturing and supportive of such a young actor on the set. The "blurbs" always speak of Becks in this episode but it is note worthy that there were two other guest stars in the first episode set in Sydney one of whom was an 18 year old Toni Collette. I beleive my first line on TV was "You knicked my smokes you slag" directed at Toni's character Tracy ( If memory serves). So Toni went on to become an international star and to this day my favourite job ever was in the cast of Australia's Wonderland! I married a British Stained Glass Artist - Sean Hardingham & I now co-own and manage our Stained Glass studio in Sydney. Shortly we will be launching our new range of jewellery designs under "Dingham Design". Well, now you have at least two names for your guest star list. The guy who played Gavin was called Chris although his surname escapes me. I saw him in 1996 ish auditioning for WAPA - he did get in so you might find out more about him there. Hi,
