Gary in Love:

Written by: Simon Nye

Directed by: Martin Dennis

Original airdate: December 26, 1997

Synopsis: 

Gary invites the gang to go with him to his security convention, the ISECESEX, and they agree. With the girls tired by the time they reach it, they go straight to bed, leaving Tony to convince Gary to head out for an evening of drinking and mischief. When they wake up the next morning, the girls discover the boys have somehow brought home a giant fish sculpture they stole from somewhere around town. Tony recedes into the covers due to his hangover, while Gary gets ready to go to the convention, all while dealing with Dorothy’s jabs at his badge for the event. After one session at the convention, Gary meets a young lady Wendy, from another security company and invites her to coffee, telling her that he and his girlfriend are not getting along well, due to his girlfriend being embarrassed by him. Smitten, Gary invites her out for dinner and she gladly agrees.

Tony and the girls do some mini golfing, and Dorothy explains that she was a bit hard on Gary due to her period being late and the reality of being pregnant is settling in. Back at the hotel, Deb accidentally sees Gary coming home and kissing Wendy outside.

The next morning, Dorothy asks about what he did yesterday and he makes up many excuses about what he did before she reveals she might be pregnant and apologizes for her behavior the previous morning. Given how he feels about the woman he met, he is extremely nervous about her news.

Tony reveals that the fish they stole is part of the town’s centerpiece display and he is now worried about being arrested. He steals an axe from the hotel in hopes of chopping the fish up but it’s too strong for that. The hotel maid discovers what he’s doing and goes to report him but Tony tries to stop her by offering her some of Deb’s clothes. As he tries to use a nail file to cut up the fish, Deb comes back and admits to Tony what she saw Gary doing. She tells him to wear one of Gary’s suits and go and try to find Wendy. Tony does find her and asks her out for a date.

Gary tries to set the fish on fire but it sets off the alarm. After Gary puts it out, the maid finds him and tells him Tony was supposed to get rid of it. Meanwhile Tony meets Wendy for her date and the talk turns to how she met another nice and funny man just the day before.

Dorothy confronts Gary about having met someone and he lies about it. She tells him that she thinks they’ve been together so long because they’ve always felt they could wander off anytime at all, but now that they’re possibly pregnant, he needs to make his mind up because that can’t continue. He decides to go for a walk and finds Tony and Wendy kissing and he proceeds to angrily chase Tony, eventually catching him and beating him up inside one of the mini golf castles.

In the end Gary chooses Dorothy and they walk away together as Wendy tells Tony it’s ok as it all seems complicated and she leaves, with Tony returning to Deb’s side. Later Gary and Dororthy take a pregnancy test and the boys reveal they got rid of the fish by tying it to a bunch of balloons and letting it float away.

Written by: Simon Nye

Directed by: Martin Dennis

Synopsis: 

As Gary and Dorothy attend a birthing class, an annoyed Deb sits next to a bespectacled and mustached Tony who is ready for bed, early, now that he’s a postman and enjoys being a morning person.

Gary tells Dorothy he still hasn’t told George and Anthea that the branch is closing down, fearing how they’d respond, however when he does tell them, they just don’t believe him.

Tony confides in Ken that he and Deb seem to be in a bit of a rocky patch when it comes to sex, leading them to discuss when women seem to be most in the mood, with Tony theorizing that cheese is what gets her going, despite him hating cheese.

Later Tony fixes the gang a snack, consisting of a huge cheese platter. Unfortunately Deb isn’t hungry and Tony forces himself to try some, gagging in the process. Gary invites Tony for a lunchtime drink, planning to use it to help tell George and Anthea that the office is indeed closing for real. The next day Gary returns from lunch, drunk, and tells them that the branch is closing, but they still don’t believe him.

Deb, having admitted to Dorothy that Tony doesn’t turn her on anymore, waits in bed, angrily, as Tony brings her more cheese as a bedtime snack. Deb calls him out on the cheese and he tells her he thought it turned her on and they start talking about their lack of a sex life. Feeling bad, Deb decides to give the cheese a try.

Dorothy shuffles around finding it hard to do simple tasks being so pregnant. Tony comes home and Dorothy asks him to get rid of the rest of his stuff since his room has been turned into a nursery. As he reminisces about his time in the room, she shows him the mural that Gary painted, depicting their life together. Tony then asks Dorothy if he is sexy and she avoids the question. Eventually she lets it out that he’s boring and sensible now and that Deb liked it better when he was unpredictable and silly.

Tony starts setting more and more alarm clocks to help him wake up because… reasons and takes great pride in shining and taking care of his post cart, while George, Anthea, and Gary clean up their office in preparation for the closing, revealing they’ve been head hunted for another security company. They give Gary a picture of a yacht made out of their hair and they head out to a pub for a last drink together. Gary gets a call and realizes that the midwife has been trying to get in touch with him for four hours since Dorothy is in labor.

Deb hits up the Crown and chats with Ken about wanting Tony to move out. Tony shows up, freshly shaven and no longer wearing his glasses. He proceeds to smash them on the bar and she hugs him, overjoyed, worried it makes her seem superficial as he downs a lager.

Meanwhile, Dorothy proceeds with the birth, cursing about men while the midwife listens calmly.  As Gary comes in he accidentally knocks the midwife out with the door. They try using what they learned in the birthing classes as Tony and Deb return home to help. Deb ushers them out while she stays to help Dorothy. The boys start drinking and making jokes while Dorothy struggles through the birthing.

Later as Tony and Gary sit on the couch and have their usual conversations, they start fawning over the new baby, named Kylie. The girls join them on the couch and they reflect on them becoming more mature over the years. As Dorothy goes to breast feed, the boys get uncomfortable, relaxing only when they see the baby is just tired, not hungry. As Gary, Dorothy, and Baby Kylie fall asleep, Tony and Deb sneak out, but not before Tony catches an empty beer can that Gary instinctively throws over his shoulder.

RW680 - Yahoo Serious Rewatch - Young Einstein

 

In this episode of The Yahoo Serious Rewatch, Cory and Eoghan are rocking out and splitting atoms as they discuss Young Einstein.

Trailer:

Our Favourite Trivia:

Serious first became interested in Albert Einstein when he was travelling down the Amazon River and saw a local wearing a T-shirt with a picture of a physicist on it. The image was that of Einstein sticking out his tongue, taken by photographer Arthur Sasse. On returning from the Amazon, Serious adapted a previous screenplay called The Great Galute which he had written with David Roach. It was a story about an Australian who invented rock and roll. The two developed The Great Galute into Young Einstein.

Serious managed to get Australian Film Commission support for the movie. By March 1984, an hour of the film had been shot, partly by the AFC and partly by private investment. Serious was then able to pre-sell the film to an American company, Film Accord, for $2 million. This enabled him to raise the film's original budget of $2.2 million.

The movie started filming again late in 1985 and went for seven weeks, from 23 September, taking place in Newcastle and Wollombi, near Cessnock in the Hunter Valley, with the second unit at various locations throughout Australia. A 91-minute version of the film was entered in the 1986 AFI Awards where composer William Motzing won Best Music.

In 1986, Film Accord sued the production to recover its distribution guarantee and the rushes, claiming the film delivered was not the one it had contracted to buy. The dispute was settled out of court.

Serious was unhappy with his first version of the film. Graham Burke from Roadshow saw it and became enthusiastic about its possibilities. Roadshow bought out Film Accord in March 1987, persuaded Warner Bros. to take on the film for international distribution outside Australia, and financed re-shooting, re-editing and re-scoring, resulting in an hour of new material which included a new ending and new music score which included the addition of songs by artists such as Paul Kelly, Icehouse and Mental As Anything. This pushed the budget of the film up to $5 million. Warner Bros. contributed A$4 million to the full version of the film, and would go on to spend $8 million on marketing the film in the United States alone.

In the United States, it debuted at No. 8 on opening weekend. US distributor Warner Bros., hoping for similar crossover success as "Crocodile" Dundee. It continues to be regarded as a flop. It did, however, end its US theatrical run at a slightly profitable $11,536,599.

Tasmania is Australia's largest producer/supplier of apples, so much so that the official state slogan printed on Tasmanian car license plates is "Tasmania: The Apple Isle".

Ernest Rutherford, Baron Rutherford of Nelson, was a New Zealand physicist who was a pioneering researcher in both atomic and nuclear physics. He has been described as "the father of nuclear physics", and "the greatest experimentalist since Michael Faraday". In 1908, he was awarded the Nobel Prize in Chemistry "for his investigations into the disintegration of the elements, and the chemistry of radioactive substances."

In this week's episode of The Men Behaving Badly Rewatch, Cory and Tom are merry and legless as they discuss the 1997 Christmas Special & Last Order episode 1; Performance.

Beer of the Week: (not a paid advertisement)

We put off Guinness for a long time, mostly because it felt a bit intimidating. But Christmas has come early, and we were pleasantly surprised. While it is a very bitter stout, the creamy foam really balances it. Such an interesting drinking experience.

1997 Christmas Special :

(Jingle Balls! / The Big Christmas Box / Merry Christmas)

Written by: Simon Nye

Directed by: Martin Dennis

Original airdate: December 25, 1997

Synopsis: 

With Christmas having arrived, the entire gang, including Dorothy and Anthea have a wonderful time celebrating as snow falls, gifts are given, dinners are had, carols sung, and happiness abounds, aside from Tony repeatedly getting knocked over or bumped in the head. Nevertheless, it all ends happily with everyone laughing and enjoying each other’s company in the most spectacular way. At least, that is how they had hoped it could have gone.

Gary and Tony struggle through the England streets in the pouring rain, trying desperately to find gifts, having put it off till too late. At home, Gary wonders why he and Dorothy never celebrated Christmas Day together before and she tells him it’s because everyone thought he’d be annoying company. Tony says there’s been an asbestos scare at Deb’s mom’s house which is why he couldn’t go over, but Deb gives a knowing wink to Dorothy about her white lie.

Tony and the girls are making their own Christmas decorations with Tony being extra clingy around Deb before using the Christmas lights to do several impressions of famous landmarks and more for their entertainment.

Later in bed, Gary and Dorothy discuss Christmas traditions and how Santa Claus is the first real moment of sadness and disillusionment. Eventually Dorothy gets fed up with his inane chattering and asks him to help out in the kitchen this year.

Tony gathers the presents he has bought for Deb but only gives her one of them after she talks about the types of presents she hates.

The group starts exchanging presents, with only Tony super excited about Deb’s gift for him of a shirt and Gary’s gift of drums. Gary as well is excited by Tony’s roller blade gift but the girls remain unimpressed by their various gifts from the guys, consisting of short skirts, a surfboard, a deep fryer, used birdhouses, and darts.

Gary works on the Christmas dinner but really has no idea of what he’s doing and gets further annoyed at Dorothy chatting on the phone until he hangs it up for her, leaving her to dip the phone in batter and deep frying it as revenge.

Outside Tony demonstrates the extra small drum set meant for children, further annoying Deb. She confides in Dorothy that she’s considering breaking it off with him.

The gang goes to the Crown as Ken shows off his Nativity scene. Tony further annoys Deb asking her again and again about things she might want for Christmas. When they return home Gary discovers he forgot to put the oven on, leaving him to start drinking more and trying to get things cooking again.

Deb retires to her bed and Tony shows up, thinking it was code for sex, but after he gives her a t-shirt present with their faces on it, she breaks it off with him, crushing his spirit. He hangs out in the backyard and eventually starts burying the Christmas presents like a dog, due to Deb calling him out for acting like an annoying puppy around her. Later Tony heads to the Crown and drowns his sorrows, chatting with Ken, who offers him a few figures from his nativity scene to take home with him.

Gary ends up falling asleep, drunk, causing a fire in the oven and the turkey being burnt up. Deb comes out to see what happened and he tells her how heartbroken Tony is. She goes to The Crown to find him but sees him ogling a stripper that was hired for entertainment. She storms off.

Tony returns home and reveals he has dug up the previously buried presents, and they realize they just had their first fight, like a proper couple, and end up kissing as they realize they do still care for each other.

The gang head out in Dorothy’s car to try and get some food and decorations from a gas station. The girls sleep on the sofa as the guys chat about what they’ll do differently for next year’s celebrations, how Tony will try being aloof with Deb regarding their relationship, and how Christmas is like sex.

Original airdate: December 25, 1998

Synopsis: 

Gary and Dorothy give Deb and Tony the news that they are finally going to try to have a baby. Deb and Tony reveal their own news that they are planning to move in together, news that Gary takes quite hard.

Later as Gary and Dorothy begin to try and have sex, Gary seems to be experiencing some trouble getting his car into the drive lately, as Dorothy puts it.

At the park, Gary plays around with a neighbor’s young child but accidentally drops him, while Tony pushes Deb too fast on the swings and she falls, hurting her leg. Gary confides in Tony about his performance issues, making him promise to not tell anyone, to which he inevitably does later.

Gary comes down to the Crown to chat with Tony who’s tending bar. Ken tries to pitch ideas to increase sales, but Tony comes up with the idea of karaoke night.

Gary continues to experience his performance issues and he suggests adult magazines or videos to help him rise to the occasion but Dorothy is not keen on the idea. She suggests a sex instructional video. Deb comes down and reveals that her leg has gotten worse and Dorothy carts her off to the hospital.

At work, Gary is quite surly towards George and Anthea and she asks if she can help with whatever he’s worried about but her suggestions aren’t really applicable to his situation.

At the hospital, Tony starts annoying Deb with reading various things from a magazine and she tells him he can leave but he’s adamant about staying to show us support. She brings up him moving in and he’s excited and continues to be his goofy, albeit annoying, self. Dorothy enlists his help with moving a patient and makes a joke about Deb losing a leg, to which Tony finds ridiculous, stating he could never live with a woman who has only one leg.

Gary watches the sex help video but is interrupted by Tony, who is getting ready to move out. He wants to stay and watch the video with Gary but he kicks him out. Gary later falls asleep while watching the video and when Dorothy comes home he has to hurriedly hide his used tissues. She questions if he really wants to have a baby, theorizing he might not want to but he quells her fears.

Later Gary looks at some more adult videos, with Tony being shocked when he learns that Deb might lose her leg. He tells Gary he might just not move in yet and the two fall into their old conversation habits.

Deb chats with Dorothy about Tony and how long he pressured her and how men change once they get into a relationship. When Tony returns, Deb calls Tony out on just wanting to see if she will pull through, saying she would live with him even if something bad happened to him. She decides to call off the move in with him, asking him to leave.

Gary falls asleep and has dreams about Deb, Dorothy, and Tony having a threesome, narrated by George and Anthea. Dorothy returns home and finds evidence of Gary definitely watching more than just one instructional video.

Later at the Crown, Tony, Gary and Ken get into karaoke night, along with the other patrons.

When Deb returns home, Tony reveals he has moved everything of his in but she’s still not happy with him. He says he’s sorry about the whole thing, and she admits it was just a test to see how’d he react. He feigns anger and storms out but comes back and they start making out. He starts to cry and while Deb thinks it’s because he’s so emotional about moving in with her, he says it’s about missing his late night chats on the sofa with Gary. Later, the two of them sit on Deb’s sofa and Tony instructs her on how to have a proper Tony and Gary conversation.

Dorothy says she has some time off and asks if Gary is up for three days of full time love making and he agrees, showing that he is finally up to the task
