Welcome to episode 8 of Besties, That’s Iconic with Elle Savage and Laurence Driscoll! In this week’s episode, we’re looking back at some iconic short-lived Australian TV shows of the 90s, including Chances, Paradise Beach, Pacific Drive, Echo Point and Breakers. We discuss Channel 9’s desperate attempts to find their own Home and Away or Neighbours, the scheduling chaos the shows endured, and why Elle thinks they all should have been given more of a go, except for Echo Point (it’s complicated besties)…
