Okay, time to change font and get serious. Season Three of THE GRUEN TRANSFER will be BIGGER – with 12 episodes – and better than before. Really. They’ve been away 12 months and there’s a lot to talk about. You want plans? They’ve got ’em. But if they told you all the surprises, they wouldn’t be surprises anymore. Trust ’em though, there will be many. One will feature the worst ads of all time. And none will involve you finding out Tony Abbott is your long lost father.
