  • A Moody Christmas How Does an Unsentimental Family Get Through the Most Sentimental Time of Year?
    A Moody Christmas How does an unsentimental family get through the most sentimental time of year? Premieres Wednesday 31 October 8.30pm Synopsis Such is the ordeal Dan Moody must face when he journeys home from London to spend each Christmas with his overbearing family. Once a year, for six years, we visit the lovably dysfunctional Moody family as they come together to share this universally celebrated holiday, stuffed full of all the fun, fights, bad gifts, boring uncles, overbearing in-laws, shocking family secrets and bizarre eccentricities that any family who’s experienced the melting pot of Christmas Day will relate to. Each year, 25-year-old Dan Moody (Ian Meadows) makes the pilgrimage to celebrate Christmas with the family he travelled to the other side of the world to escape. While most families bask in the warm glow of Christmas spirit, the Moodys tend to crack under the pressure of forced civility and their own unique brand of domestic politics. As with most families … the eternal question is – what will happen this Christmas? About the production Shot in Sydney, each half hour episode is set a year apart. Focused on the lovable, yet seasonally dysfunctional Moody family, A Moody Christmas is set against the backdrop of the one occasion that can bring out the best (and the worst) in people … Christmas Day. To air on ABC1 in the lead-up to Christmas 2012, A Moody Christmas is a Jungleboys production in association with ABC TV and Screen NSW. The series was created and written by the multi AFI Award-winning team behind the critically acclaimed comedy series Review with Myles Barlow Trent O’Donnell and Phil Lloyd.

The trilogy looks at a desperate weekend in which a family is thrown together. Even though the plays were written in 1973 and set in Britain, their universal and timeless themes are still very much relevant to today. We are still trying to work out who we are in relation to gender, family, love, sex and belonging. The characters’ interaction is funny because we recognise ourselves. Society may have changed the way it reacts to certain gender politics but the rift between partners and the desperation of trying to make things work within a family is still exactly the same.
