Rarely got the attention span to follow anything much at all, but IMHO 'The Slap' is well worth the effort. Based on a book of the same name, its a superb drama comprising eight seperate tales all based around a really annoying kid getting a slap at an Oz barbie to celebrate one of the characters 40th birthday party. Each of the episodes examines the effects of The Slap on a seperate character. None of the set of half a dozen usual stock Aussie actors are present, which adds to the purity of the thing. Well worth an hour of anybody's time IMHO. Repeated on Saturday on BBC 4 at 22:30 or available as a catch-up on BBC iPlayer.
