Writers Amanda Bishop, Rick Kalowski, Phil Lloyd It’s like any relationship. Who walks the dog? Who puts the Director Erin White bins out? Who sends the troops to Afghanistan? Executive Producers Rick Kalowski, Greg Quail These are just some of the questions facing Australia’s Prime Minister Julia Gillard and her hairdresser boyfriend Series Producer Carol Hughes Tim Mathieson in AT HOME WITH JULIA, the romantic ABC Executive Producer Debbie Lee comedy/political satire about the couple’s everyday life behind the closed doors of their home and official Production Company Quail Television residence, The Lodge. Though the Prime Minister and her man are deeply in love, cracks start to show as Tim struggles with feelings of inadequacy about his status and not being Julia’s top priority, while events always seem to conspire against Julia’s best efforts to make time for him over politics. Just as their romance seems to have won out over the pressures of Julia’s career, increasingly cataclysmic mishaps lead Tim to feel no choice but to end the relationship. Is Julia and Tim’s love strong enough to make reconciliation possible? Or are they doomed to remain apart? Delighting audiences and critics while outraging politicians and social commentators, AT HOME WITH JULIA rated number one in its timeslot and has become one of the most talked about Australian TV comedies in years. The series stars beloved comedienne AMANDA BISHOP (hailed ‘Australia’s Tina Fey’ for her uncanny impersonation of Prime Minister Julia Gillard) and cult comedy star PHIL LLOYD (the multi-award-winning ‘Review With Myles Barlow’), who also co-created and co-wrote the show.
