The Strip - Series One: Two Episodes
Television (Full Length Episodes) – 2002
When lawyer Melissa (Black Hands' Luanne Gordon) catches a flying G-string at a hens party, her life changes forever. In the first episode of this light-hearted drama, Melissa discovers her husband (Stephen Bain) in bed with his personal trainer. While daughter Paige vies for attention, Melissa starts anew by taking over a rundown strip bar. In episode 12, Melissa provides a refuge for stripper Adam (Robbie Magasiva), then finds his body taking over her imagination. Meanwhile her boyfriend (Stephen Lovatt) proposes cohabitating, her ex husband realises he is bisexual, and Paige contemplates the best place for her 'first time'.
A G-string from heaven...what do you think it means?– Kathryn ( Jodie Rimmer) ponders the mysteries of flying underwear, in episode one
