SBS Documentaries

A slow TV showcase of Australia's most stunning landscapes, from the Torres Strait to Tasmania and everywhere in between, we pay tribute to that which gives us life: Country.

SBS’s next iteration of slow TV will take viewers into Australia’s multicultural and Indigenous history via an exploration of the country's most popular chocolate company - Cadbury. This three-hour documentary will take a ‘paddock-to-plate’ approach by following the chocolates’ journey from the raw ingredients - the idyllic dairy farms of Tasmania and the sugar plantations of tropical North Queensland - to the factory floor, where the audience will be immersed and mesmerised in the melting, rolling, drying, shaping and wrapping that goes into making Easter eggs and bunnies.

We follow legendary Australian comedian Fiona O’Loughlin as she returns to the world of stand-up comedy. After fighting publicly with an alcohol addiction for many years, Fiona ended up in a coma battling for her life. Doctors determined Fiona only had a 13% chance of survival. Miraculously, Fiona made it out alive. At the end of 2015, Fiona ended up in a long-term rehab and wrote a letter to her best friend Sammy. By the time she returned to Melbourne, they had agreed to make a documentary together following her return the stage.
