lol. Thought I'd google. So he either thinks:

a lawyer saved xmas.
or
a jazz muscian.

That's a bit of a worry!

Oh, more of a search shows it's a cartoon of some description. Didn't get very good reviews. I'd be worried about people watching such rubbish too!

A Very Barry Christmas


Santa in the Australian outback? Too right.


A Very Barry Christmas is an animated program that follows Australian outback adventurer Barry Buckley and his chance misadventure.

Two days before Christmas, Barry's failing outback safari park isn't bringing in enough money to support him and his crew of talking animal friends: there's Nigel, a tetchy crocodile; Lilly, a former boxing kangaroo; Walter the platypus; and a narcoleptic koala named Simon. Moments after announcing to his oddball crew that he plans to change the park's theme into an all-year Christmas one, Barry ends up in the North Pole courtesy of an unlikely chain of events involving Santa Claus and his clumsy reindeer Nutmeg, while Santa ends up at Barry's park.

Before you embrace it as a home-grown production, note that A Very Barry Christmas is actually Canadian-made, although it does feature a cast of Aussie voices, most notably Australian actor Roy Billing as lovable ocker Barry. Another voice likely to seem familiar is Santa's, who is voiced by Colin Mochrie, best known for his improvisational comedy on Drew Carey's Who's Line is it Anyway?.

It won't ever become a cult Christmas classic of Ebenezer Scrooge proportions, but this does hold its own amongst the Christmas re-runs. Although angled towards the littl'uns, this modern take on the Christmas theme still proves a rather refreshing change.

A Very Barry Christmas airs on ABC1 on Thursday, December 25, at 8:15am. It will be repeated on ABC2 on Thursday, December 25 at 2:25pm.

Tad late I know :( but maybe next time ;) But sometimes you can view the ABC stuff straight off the web. Maybe he'll be happy with that.
