Cast
John Clarke played the "Head of Administration & Logistics", an undefined but important subsection of SOCOG. Clarke was apparently a former Olympic champion, but ducked the question whenever asked about which event. Gina Riley played the "Manager Marketing & Liaison" role, and Bryan Dawe played the "Manager Accounts, Budgeting & Finance" position. The series also featured actor Nicholas Bell as the conniving Secretary to the Minister for the Olympics, a foil for Clarke's character. He was a guest in the first series but was made a main cast member for Series 2.
Guest stars included John Farnham, Dave Graney, Frank Woodley, Barrie Cassidy, Maxine McKew, and actor Sam Neill.

So great a sweetness flows into the breast

We are blest by everything,
Everything we look upon is blest.”
