A Town Like Alice Season 1

Helen Morse (Picnic at Hanging Rock) and Bryan Brown (Breaker Morant) star alongside Gordon Jackson (The Great Escape) and Yuki Shimoda (Auntie Mame) in the landmark mini-series based upon Nevil Shute’s (On the Beach) bestselling epic, A Town Like Alice. Chronicling the lives of Jean Paget (Morse) and Joe Harmon (Brown), this sweeping story takes us from their first meeting in the jungles of Malaya as prisoners of the Japanese army during World War II to the Australian outback where years apart due to tragedy and circumstance threaten to shatter their reunion. For as the years since Malaya had passed and Jean had thought Joe murdered by their captors, another man, Noel Strachan (Jackson) had entered her life with news of a family inheritance and intentions of his own. Winner of the International Emmy® for Drama in 1981, A Town Like Alice is still regarded as one of the greatest mini-series produced for Australian television.
