Full Frontal (Australian TV series)
Full Frontal was an Australian sketch comedy series which ran on the Seven Network from 1993 to 1997. It launched the television careers of Eric Bana, Shaun Micallef, Kitty Flanagan, Julia Morris and Denise Scott. In 1998 a spin-off of the show moved to Network Ten under the name Totally Full Frontal, losing most of the original cast in the process; it finished in 1999. Since 2008 till aprox 2010, re-runs were screening on The Comedy Channel as part of the channel's "Aussie Gold" block of locally made, classic comedy programming. History . The series began screening shortly after the similar sketch comedy program "Fast Forward" (from which Full Frontal derived) ended. "Full Frontal" retained the same general format of "Fast Forward". It was formatted in a way such as to create the effect of someone continuously channel surfing; after the punchline of each sketch, it would abruptly switch to the next as if the viewer had switched channels. However, the new show had an all-new regular cast. Initially, some members of the "Fast Forward" cast made guest appearances in occasional "Full Frontal" sketches, easing the transition into the new series. Several  members of the new cast had appeared in the earlier "The Comedy Company", including Kym Gyngell and Glenn Butcher. The show first aired on the Seven Network on 13 May 1993, and finished on 15 September 1997. Series Cast. Seven Network.
