    Embassy

    1 9 9 0 – 1 9 9 2 (Australia)

    After years of peddling game shows and soft soap like The Young Doctors, the Grundy organisation adopted a serious dramatic tone with Embassy, which had the distinction of being the first Grundy series sold to the ABC.

    Set in the fictitious south-east Asian country of Ragaan, the show revolved around the lives of the staff at the Australian embassy.

    Some of the potentially contentious story-lines were deemed offensive by the Malaysian government, which suspended diplomatic relations with Australia for a short time as a result.

    The Australian Department of Foreign Affairs were not delighted, and the controversy led to less than spectacular overseas sales, but in Australia, the show won two AFI awards in 1991.
