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.

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

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
