Synopsis:

The hugely successful British television series Father Dear Father is transplanted to Australia when novelist Patrick Glover (Patrick Cargill) and his assistant Nanny (Noel Dyson) trek down under to write the great Australian crime novel, and end up supervising Patricks boisterous young nieces while their own father is abroad.While Liz (Sally Conabere) and Sue (Sigrid Thornton) must learn to understand their conservative Uncle, Patrick must also adjust to a new life in Australia, with hilarious consequences.

Patrick Glover's brother, who is living in Australia, has to leave home suddenly in connection with his work. Worried about leaving his two teenage daughters alone to fend for themselves during his absence, he makes an urgent telephone call to Patrick, in England, to ask for his help. Patrick agrees to come to the rescue - and he and Nanny travel to Australia, where they find Patrick's stunning brunette-haired nieces are very similar, in nature, to Patrick's own daughters - and that they even have the same breed of dog, as their own 'H.G.', as a pet. The girls are not at first impressed with having their uncle staying in the house with them, as they had been looking forward to the freedom of being left to their own devices without any adult supervision.

Patrick Cargill stars as Patrick Glover in this new take on the hit British series Father Dear Father. Five years have passed and Patrick is in Australia to research material for his new book. He had intended to stay with his brother Jeffrey, but Jeffrey has unexpectedly been sent to London. So Patrick who has taken Nanny with him to Australia have to look after Jeffrey's two young daughters Sue and Liz for six months.
