Round the Twist

Der alleinerziehende Vater Tony Twist hat das Leben in der Stadt satt und zieht mit seinen Kindern, den 13-jährigen Zwillingen Pete und Linda und deren 7-jährigem Bruder Bronson nach Port Niranda in einen Leuchtturm, wo es die drei Kinder bald nicht nur mit der unausstehlichen Gribble-Gang, sondern auch mit Geistern, Vampiren, grünen Babies, Baummädchen u.s.w. aufnehmen müssen. Überhaupt sind in Port Niranda sehr seltsame Vorgänge schon vorprogrammiert. (Text: Charlie)

Round The Twist is a wacky TV series written by the hilarious children's author, Paul Jennings. It follows the bizarre lives of the Twist family. Tony Twist (a.k.a. Dad) and his three children – the twins Pete and Linda and youngest son, Bronson – move from "The Big Smoke" (the city) to the sea-side village of Port Niranda. They move into an old lighthouse, previously owned by their new neighbour, Nell, and their new lives begin. Strange things always happen to the Twist family, strange but hilarious things. Each episode is a self-contained story with an amazing twist in the tail.

Un père et ses trois enfants, Linda, Pete et Bronson, vivent dans un phare sur la pluvieuse côte australienne. Ils sont confrontés à leur sinistre voisin, M. Gribble, et à leur maître d'école, M. Snapper, mais surtout au fantastique et au surnaturel le plus loufoque.

Conta a história de três crianças que vivem com o pai em um farol, e que vivenciam várias aventuras mágicas e paranormais ao longo dos dias.
