I mean ... Declining audiences brought it to an end. Somebody actually has to watch it. Multiple companies tried to make it add up and failed.
It's sad to see that an Australian cultural institution can be brought to an end at the whim of a multinational streaming service.

I reckon Melissa McCarthy would be terrific. Vague similarity in the face. Oscar nominated for going dark once before (Can You Ever Forgive Me?). I think she'd be terrific.
Mate reckoned Kathy Bates, who'd be great but I think she's too old.
