Über diese Serie

The Hollowmen is a comedy-drama set in the offices of the Central Policy Unit, a special think tank personally set up by the Prime Minister to help him in his most important task -- getting re-elected. Their brief is to develop "long term vision"; to stop worrying about tomorrow's headlines, and start focusing on next week's. Straight-faced and fast-paced, this is a frighteningly funny look at the way our political system operates. It examines the rise of a new class in Canberra -- that of the professional advisor or "staffer". Featuring superb performances from an ensemble cast, The Hollowmen paints a hilariously sharp picture of those in power.
