REVIEWS

‘The great comic actress smashes her own stereotype – that of the grey, expat British nomad –
before turning her jolly wit and keen eye on some of our national ones.’ - Bridget McManus. The Sydney Morning Herald / The Age / The Brisbane Times

‘... Well-researched and clear-eyed, Almost Australian is the best kind of travelogue,
one that surprises and delights but isn’t afraid to dismay now and then.’ - Alison Rowat, The Herald (Glasgow)

‘ ... The series is a breathtaking, honest and at times unflinching look at Australian society and makes for great iso-viewing...’ - Jessi Lewis, Sydney Star Observer
