Series. Bergerac returns for the most challenging case of his career – both professionally and personally.

Bad Company – 26 April
Series. This brand-new six-part comedy series is a riotous clash of egos, ambition and backstage drama . Starring two of Australia’s powerhouse comedians, Anne Edmonds and Kitty Flanagan, and created and written by Edmonds, Bad Company brings together a dream comedy pairing in a story about two fierce rivals who test each other to the limits.
At the centre of the chaos is Margie Argyle (Anne Edmonds), the Argyle Theatre’s wildly confident artistic director who is determined to stage her most experimental, critic-wowing masterpiece yet.
There’s just one small problem: Margie’s bold creative vision might also send the already fragile theatre hurtling towards financial ruin.
Standing between Margie and catastrophe is Julia McNamara (Kitty Flanagan), a corporate high-flyer with a flawless track record and the steely resolve to match.
