Australia in Colour - Season 1
Season 1
Episodes
Outpost of Empire
This episode charts the story of the nation from 1897 to 1929 as agriculture transforms the land. Explorer Douglas Mawson, swimmer Annette Kellerman and the men fighting under Britain in World War I become the new nation's first heroes.
Shifting Allegiances
Sport and comedy offer some relief from the hunger and hopelessness of the Great Depression - at least until war breaks out.
Australia sends troops to Europe to fight beside Britain, but when Japan invades Pearl Harbour, the nation turns to America for protection and pulls troops out of the Middle East.
Fighting reaches Darwin.
Populate or Perish
The government adopts the slogan ‘populate or perish' after World War II and immigration changes the face of Australia. This influx of labour, as well as the diversification of the economy, delivers increasing prosperity. National identity is embraced but Indigenous people face racism and discrimination - and their children are removed, creating the stolen generations.
The Decade of Protest
The public supports Australia joining the Vietnam War - but not conscription - until the toll becomes apparent. Awareness grows about discrimination and the extent of everyday racism against Indigenous people - and about land rights. Gender inequality in the workforce and elsewhere also becomes an issue in the 1960's.

The Studio
As movies struggle to stay alive and relevant, Matt and his core team of infighting executives battle their own insecurities as they wrangle narcissistic artists and craven corporate overlords in the ever-elusive pursuit of making great films. With their power suits masking their never-ending sense of panic, every party, set visit, casting decision, marketing meeting, and award show presents them with an opportunity for glittering success or career-ending catastrophe. As someone who eats, sleeps, and breathes movies, it's the job Matt's been pursuing his whole life, and it may very well destroy him.
MobLand
With the most powerful clients in Europe, MobLand will see family fortunes and reputations at risk, odd alliances unfold, and betrayal around every corner; and while the family might be London's most elite fixers today, the nature of their business means there is no guarantee what's in store tomorrow.
MobLand follows two generations of gangsters, the businesses they run, the complex relationships they weave and the man they call upon to fix their problem.
