It’s a Date has been an eight part comedy series on the ABC focusing on couples and the rules of dating. Each episode has featured 2 couples, and revolved around topics such as “How Important Is Honesty On A First Date?”. It featured an all star cast, including Asher Keddie, Lisa McCune, Shane Jacobson and Ross Noble, and was created and primarily written by Peter Hellier.
In the last episode, “Does Age Matter?”, one of the stories focused on Michael and Alison, two med students who may be about to move to the next stage of their relationship, if it doesn’t all fall apart. And it was written by Shaun! Check out the episode on iView (for the next 2 weeks) – so I won’t spoil it here, but I will post in the comments…
Did the story remind anyone of “The Moment”? Shaun certainly likes to play with darkness and timey-wimyness…
That bombshell felt like a punch in the gut. It was very cleverly thought out. I’ve been really enjoying this show
It was a lot like his short story ‘Ahead of the Game’ when I read that it almost made me cry. You don’t expect that level of emotional darkness from the guy who created Milo Kerrigan and David McGahan!
Yeah, I think you’re right – Ahead of the Game was closer in concept, but The Moment was equally as dark.
I don’t have a Kindle so unfortunately I’m yet to read The Moment. Is there any other way it is available?
Hi Stuart,
Have you seen the ad for the new show on ABC “Fresh Blood” with Shaun in it. I don’t think he is in the show, but he features in the ad for it.
