Long before the Bruce Lehrmann defamation trial, Frontline eviscerated the priorities and practices of a sometimes-dubious business.

There’s a key distinction between a good show and great one. A good one can generate excitement when it’s released, creating a buzz that might linger for a while. But a great one, a genuine classic, sparks that initial enthusiasm and stands the test of time. It rewards repeated viewing and inspires enduring admiration., which made its debut on May 9, 1994, is a classic that turns up regularly at or near the top of lists of the best Australian TV shows ever made for good reason.

Perhaps surprisingly, while production techniques might have become more sophisticated over 30 years, the satire hasn’t sagged with age. In a testament to its perspicacity, the mockumentary style, directed by Sitch and featuring Cilauro’s camerawork, has worn well: it still looks fresh, fast and busy.And, as it zeroes in on the priorities and practices of a sometimes-dubious business, the series’ concerns are as relevant today as they were in the ’90s.

However, it’s also clear that mistakes in this pressure-cooker world don’t lead to remorse or apologies: instead a publicist is summoned to put the best possible spin on the unfortunate events.
