In the second season, Robby’s efforts to become respectable led to his taking over The Dragon Club, but life didn’t get any easier. Jesus one episode in and the moaners are out in force.

Starring Ray Brooks, Sharon Duce and Lisa Geoghan, the series concentrated on the ups and downs of small-time London gambler Robbie Box (played by Brooks) and the effect that his poker addiction has on his long suffering girlfriend Jan Oliver (Duce) and her daughter Debby (Geoghan). A shining example of a near flawlessly faithful adaptation of a canon of classic literary genius, Granada television's stylishly lavish series redefined the established film and TV image of the world renowned inhabitants of 221B Baker Street. Instead, he made a living playing poker and betting on horses and dogs at Gil’s betting shop, staffed by grumbling Gil Roach (Frank Mills) and his sharp-tongued assistant Joan (Deirdre Costello).

Christiaan is proud of his country, its peaceful society and its sound political system. So proud, in fact, that he might be a little complacent about the state of Aussie democracy. Smug, even.The extent to which money has infiltrated our political process, and the non-transparent influence of corporate lobbying, is an issue of growing concern for many Australians. It is a bi-partisan problem that is leading to increasing disillusionment with the democratic process, and with our institutions of government. Liking #TheBigDeal hopefully Vogue relaxes a bit more for the rest of the series because it's like she has no energy. The characters in the series are usually set around a local bookmakers but the camaraderie and friendships of this little group set up some wonderful comic scenes. The sudden realization, however, that his life is passing him by and that he has nothing to show for his misspent youth encourages Box to "go straight", calling on the help of his girlfriend, Jan, and her teenage daughter, Debby. Things didn’t always go to plan though, especially with the taxman on Robby’s tail and Jan always likely to walk out on him. Jan, too, had her problems. She wanted Robby to change but she also loved him just the way he was.

Watching #TheBigDeal, I like the concept but don't think Vogue is the right MC. Also quite underwhelming, no atmosphere. Then again, maybe I'm just so used to the many other over produced talent shows. At the age of 40 Londoner Robby Box has not done a day's work since leaving school. Instead, he makes a living playing poker and betting on horses and dogs.
