[REL] Winners (1985) TV series

Post by slimjim »   17 likes

Winners ( http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0248656/) was an Australian drama series that ran during the late 1980s. Each week's show featured a different plot and cast. These aren't my rips, but thought I'd put them here in case there was some interest.

Just Friends
Susan has just moved to a new part of town. It's school holidays and she goes to practice her skills at the local roller rink. Buzz, the Prince of the Rink, spots the talented newcomer and moves in on her. Susan joins Buzz and his gang, but she doesn't know what she is letting herself in for. Boyfriends, girlfriends, going steady and breaking up. Life can be very painful when you're thirteen.
