Big Bite

Big Bite was an Australian sketch comedy television series, which ran on the Seven Network from 8 May 2003 to 4 March 2004 in a prime time timeslot on Thursdays. Since the end of the series episodes have been repeated on the Foxtel cable channel, The Comedy Channel and recently, reruns were shown on 7Two.

Overview

Only moderately successful on its initial broadcast and despite an initially mixed reception, the show has gradually begun to develop something of a cult following, due to having begat the careers of a number of now prominent performers, directors and writers such as Andrew O'Keefe who started his television career on the show and went on to host Deal or No Deal, Dragons' Den, The Rich List and Weekend Sunrise. Chris Lilley's character Mr G first appeared here, later appearing in Summer Heights High and releasing a novelty single.

In addition to Lilley and O'Keefe, other performers on the show included improvisational comedian Rebecca De Unamuno, experimental theatre star Melissa Madden Gray (now known internationally for her cabaret character 'Meow Meow'), Kate McCartney (who would go on to success as an award-winning animator), Richard Pyros (today a member of The Sydney Theatre Company's 'Residents' acting ensemble) and Jake Stone, now lead singer of popular Australian funk pop rock band Bluejuice. Other television personalities associated with the show included now The Comedy Channel presenter Cameron Knight, comedian Charlie Pickering and actor Charlie Clausen. Many of the actors from this series would later appear on The Hamish and Andy Show.

Plot

Following the death of her mother, Selina Peake (Barbara Stanwyck) and her father (Robert Warwick) move to Chicago, where she enrolls in finishing school. Her father is killed, leaving her penniless, and Selina's friend Julie Hemple (Mae Madison) helps her find a job as a schoolteacher in a small Dutch community. Selina moves in with the Poole family and tutors their son Roelf (George Brent). Selina eventually marries immigrant farmer Pervus De Jong (Earle Foxe) and gives birth to Dirk (Hardie Albright), nicknamed "So Big", who becomes the primary focus of her life.
