Consists of six inter-related half-hour teleplays, subtitled an ‘inner city series’ because each episode is devoted to an inner Melbourne suburb, and concentrates on the ‘culture’ and professional life peculiar to each of the chosen precincts. For example, Conspicuous Consumption centres on Melbourne (CBD) and business. Empty Productions centres on South Melbourne and the media and promotions.
The episodes are linked by through-characters and ripples from other events.
