AUSTRALIA |ABC| Sunday 12 November @ 8.30pm   

Proving that we can still make high quality comedy drama Stepfather of the Bride is the highlight of the month and contender for production of the year. A brilliantly witty script from Geoffrey Atherden and great performances from some of Australia's best actors including the genius that is Garry McDonald combine to produce magical TV. More please!! 

Skye and Lachlan are in love and they're getting married. Their parents belong to the generation who married, divorced and married again, or who, in the case of Skye's father, married, divorced, married, divorced and married again. But Skye and Lachlan know they're not like that. 

They both agree that the way to demonstrate their love for each other is to make their wedding a big one. What could go wrong? Skye's grandmother being rushed to hospital doesn't help. And neither does her parents’ panic about the size of the wedding. 

Nor her mother's doubts about her choice of husband. Her stepbrother, Jack, seems to go a little crazy, although it's hard to tell if it's just his normal craziness or whether he's going more mad than usual with jealousy. Lachlan doesn't want his absent father to come to the wedding, but it looks like they're going to need his generous offer of money. But Skye can handle all this. She's a rock. What she can't handle is when Lachlan tells her he's having doubts. The wedding has got too big, and he's considering that he might like to move back to Scotland. Skye needs another rock, someone she knows won't let her down - her stepfather - the one person who is always cool in a crisis.
