Did anyone watch Hollowmen, the new ABC parliamentary mockumentary from Rob Sitch and Santo Cilaro?

I love these guys' work and it is a great topic for them to pisstake. Very much in the style of Frontline and well worth a watch.

It is also available as video on demand on the website.

Definitely got some potential. I think Stich's character has a bit of David Brent about him. But yes, would defo watch the whole series.

I want to like this series, but to be honest I just don't find it that funny.

I like it, but I missed the first 10min last night and so found it a bit hard to follow. Saw all of the first episode though and thought it was awesome.

Rob Sitch had a funny comment at the end of an interview he did on the radio last week when he stated: 'it's on ABC1 tonite, and all illegal download sites tomorrow'

I bet he leeches like a demon

Between them, the panel, the chaser and a few others they have probably cracked that joke about 50 zillion times. Still gets a chuckle because its true.

Just watched both episodes and thoroughly enjoyed. Some of the characters are a bit too similar to their Frontline versions, but it's good to have something to watch.

yeh its not piss-yer-pants funny, more 'biting satire'.

Chuck the shows 'Frontline' and 'Yes, Prime Minister' in a blender and thats what Hollowmen is.

thanks for mentioning this! Watched both eps then and loved it. I was a big Yes (Prime) Minister fan back in the day and loved frontline etc so right up my alley :)
