About At Home with Julia

A four part narrative comedy about the life of PM Julia Gillard and her partner Tim Mathieson behind the closed doors of The Lodge, At Home with Julia, starring Amanda Bishop and Phil Lloyd, aired on ABC1 in September 2011, and became the top rating local comedy of the year. The show was a 2012 AACTA Award Nominee for Best Television Comedy Series, won the 2012 Equity Award for Outstanding Ensemble Comedy Cast, and, with its 90 minutes of extra content, makes an excellent gift on DVD.
