Going Home(2000)

Going Home is an Australian drama series that aired on SBS from 2000 to 2001. Set aboard a nightly commuter train, the show followed a group of regular passengers whose daily journeys became a backdrop for personal drama and real-world commentary. What made Going Home unique was its rapid-fire production model: episodes were scripted, filmed, edited and broadcast on the same day, giving the series an immediacy that reflected current news and events. The show actively encouraged viewer participation, regularly weaving audience suggestions into plot and character development. The innovative format proved influential, inspiring adaptations in Canada, France and Italy. Stuart Rawe, before his later work on Swift and Shift Couriers, appeared in one of his earliest roles during the final 2001 season.
