The third and final episode of David Stratton's Stories of Australian Cinema airs at 9pm tonight on @BBCFOUR. I'll be live-tweeting along once again. Check out #StrattOnBBC for my thoughts on the last two eps, and join in the discussion after 9! bbc.co.uk/programmes/m00… 
@BBCFOUR And off we go with #StrattOnBBC, although I think @BBCFOUR is slightly behind, and I wish I'd made a cup of tea first.
This third and final episode revolves around 'Family', and the good, bad, and ugly relationships that make up Australian cinema. #StrattOnBBC
Episode two of David Stratton's Stories of Australian Cinema - focusing on the enduring figure of the outsider - is starting now on @BBCFOUR. I'll be live-tweeting the whole thing via #StrattOnBBC. bbc.co.uk/programmes/m00…
@BBCFOUR Before David kicks off his discussion of the figure of 'the outsider', it's worth noting the slight inflection that this takes when we remember Australia's very existence as a settler nation. #StrattOnBBC
Even in cinematic terms, Australian cinema itself exists as an outsider, an outlier, a result of it's particular status - as Tom O'Regan tells us in his landmark book Australian National Cinema - as a 'medium-sized English language cinema'.
This slice of Australian film history has just started on @BBCFOUR. Might livetweet via #StrattOnBBC
@BBCFOUR As someone who did their PhD on Ealing's Australian films, I obviously love the story about David Stratton falling in love with Australia (and Australian cinema) via THE OVERLANDERS. #StrattOnBBC
@BBCFOUR STRICTLY BALLROOM was the 90s film I showed to my Australian cinema students at Winchester last term. I think they loved it. #StrattOnBBC
