- Meet Dick, 32, single, newly unemployed, and with just nothing happening on either front. Been in therapy for 2 years, finally starting to sort some stuff out, when bang!! His therapist, Dr Schnell, has a mental breakdown, leaving Dick to fend for himself. Feeling cheated and with no one to talk to, Dick decides that if his shrink's in the nuthouse then there's no reason why he can't start his own practice. So he does... in the garage. But Dick's best friend and house-mate, Reece, who had been posing as a blind beggar, is not impressed. And so, in rival response, decides to reinvent himself as a spiritual healer. Despite the direct competition, and Reece's deliberate attempts at sabotage, Dick's Clinic thrives. Dirt cheap mental health proves to be an unexpected hit to the bottom feeders of suburbia. Dick soon finds himself dealing with a clientèle whose problems not only test his skill as a therapist, but also his patience. And amid the disfunction of Dick's chosen course, he begins to find a sense of compassion and an ability to love again.
- Some are born great, some achieve greatness and some.. - have absolutely no idea. Cousin-best-friends Brooke and Amy Bland have always loved the Olympics but have never been able to find the time to compete. After years of unfortunate events getting in the way of their Olympic glory - 2008 was that grade 7 choir camp to Ballina and 2016 they just couldn't get the time off work - this year nothing is in their way. 2020 is their year to shine. Amy will compete. Brooke will coach. And together they will make Australia proud. All they have to do now is figure out which iconic sport will with bring them the gold medal. Join the documentary crew as we follow these Olympic hopefuls as they trial swimming, diving, gymnastics, heptathlon and weightlifting in the ultimate journey to Tokyo. With the help of some killer matching tracksuits (made by their fathers), early 9am starts, bizarre food plans, great sacrifice (not going to their cousin's hens) and a few too many inspirational quotes, Amy and Brooke embark on the Olympic journey of a lifetime. Most only imagine themselves heading for Olympic glory, but Brooke and Amy - hopelessly unaware that it takes a little longer than a week to train for the Olympics, and maybe a little athletic skill - are actually doing it. Kind of. The Power of the Dream taps into the fighting spirit that the Olympic Games ignites in all of us. It reminds us of those enormous sporting moments that made us feel proud to be Australian. From Nikki Webster to Leisel Jones - this show is all about the 1996 Atlanta Games anthem - "The Power of the Dream" - no matter how uncoordinated you might be.
- "Trust Frank" is a sentimental and gently humorous Aussie story about two lonely elderly people who are struggling with serious infirmities as they age.
- When Matthew, a quiet and naïve teenager, loses his parents in a fatal accident, he is left in the care of his Aunt Alisa. Though she steps in to care for her nephew, she has ulterior motives - namely, to swipe the fortune Matthew inherited from his parents. After insisting he requires the professional help of Dr Grant for his "psychological problems", Alisa shuts Matthew off from the outside world. Deprived of the love he so desperately needs, Matthew's only solace is in the friendships with his tutor, Rachel, and Charlie, a friend of his parents. When Alisa learns of communication between Matthew and Charlie, she forces her way between the pair, convincing Matthew that medication for his condition is the only answer. Supplied by Dr Grant, Alisa drugs Matthew, and manipulates him into signing away his fortune. Hours later, Rachel arrives at the house to find Matthew unconscious. He awakes in hospital; he's safe, but unsure of his future, though he has Rachel and Charlie by his side.
