'The Great is a satirical, comedic drama about the rise of Catherine the Great from outsider to the longest reigning female ruler in Russia's history. Season One is a fictionalized, fun and anachronistic story of an idealistic, romantic young girl who arrives in Russia for an arranged marriage to the mercurial Emperor Peter. Hoping for love and sunshine, she finds instead a dangerous, depraved, backward world that she resolves to change. All she has to do is kill her husband, defeat the church, baffle the military and get the court on her side. Incorporating historical facts occasionally, the series stars Elle Fanning as Catherine, Nicholas Hoult, Phoebe Fox, Adam Godley, Gwilym Lee, Charity Wakefield, Douglas Hodge, Sacha Dhawan, Sebastian de Souza, Bayo Gbadamosi, Belinda Bromilow and Richard Pyros.'

'For Jørn Utzon and Joe Cahill the Sydney Opera House was a daring vision; but political forces turned, and they became the whipping boys of culture. Despite this the building they created changed the image of our country forever.'

'Ben Madigan is one of the many hopefuls trying to to make it big through the sharp edge world of personal injury. Het gets mixed up in insurance scams with Kreisky, a disgruntled employee and Louise Roncoll, a sleek but greedy solicitor. When the white envelope with wads of cash start arriving and Ben starts to dress well, Kreisky knows that he is hooked. It all runs smoothly until greed and lust prevail and loyalties are forgotten.'
