Jessie is actually an old friend I had lost touch with so I don’t think he knew I was going to be chatting with him today…. Kind of nice that he remembered me and didn’t think oh god this guy!  

This new series is set in Australia 1979, where a power strike threatens to plunge a  Western Australian town into darkness, while the city hosts the Miss Universe pageant and the US space station, Skylab, crashes just beyond the city's suburbs. It is a tapestry of characters and I hope you go and check it out.

Hi Guys, welcome back to TV Reload. Thank you for clicking or downloading on today’s episode with Lexi Dyer. Who is one of the cast of Aussie Shore a series now on Paramount +. A series that will polarise its audience but don’t judge me - I am kind of obsessed.

Lexi already had a serious tie to Reality-TV and if you are a Big Brother super fan you would know Paul Dyer for his very dramatic conversation with Merlin in Big Brother 2004… as a treat we will get Paul onto this call and I am a little too excited for that.

Aussie Shore is the spin off from both Jordy Shore and Jersey Shore and while it has taken Australia a long time to get here - I think the wait has been worth it.

The production quality and the pacing of the show is phenomenal. I am actually more prudish than people would think but I found it entertaining to dip back into my youth and live a little vicariously through these young people.

• I will ask about their casting process - how do you get picked for a show like this… and how long the show tales to film?
• You will get to hear us unpack the relationship Lexi has with her father Paul… what she borrowed from her Dad, what he thought of Lezi following in his footsteps and if they will watch the show together?
• You will hear about how hard it is to come in late to a show like this - as Lexi comes in on episode two and what she thought of Callum Hole also coming into the show quite late.
• We will even find out who were the easiest to get along with - the boys of the girls? Plus I will ask about the possibility of a series two? (I will be a little cheeky and ask who she would like to see cut from the cast.)

There is so much to unpack with my guests today there are some fantastic secrets along the way. So sit back and relax as we unpack Aussie Shore. The most bonkers reality show to date.
