Combining the comedic talents of two of Australia's most beloved comedians, Matt Okine and Denise Scott, Mother and Son is a fresh re-imagining of an iconic family favourite, guaranteed to win the hearts of those who know and love the original and delight fans of contemporary Australian comedy.
Following a breakup from his long-suffering girlfriend, Dee (Andrea Demetriades), Arthur (Okine) puts his future on hold to move back home with his widowed mother, Maggie (Scott). Arthur and his older sister, Robbie (Angela Nica Sullen) - arguably 'the favourite' - attempt to care for Maggie, who may recently have almost burnt down the kitchen, but still runs circles around her children!
In this episode, host and head of entertainment at Mediaweek and Chattr, Anita Anabel chatted with Matt Okine about the reboot, why working with Denise was so special and how the late Ruth Cracknell made her presence known on set.
Mother and Son premieres on Wednesday 23 August at 8.30pm on ABC TV and ABC iview.
