In Chris Lilley’s controversial comedy series Summer Heights High no topic was off limits.
While the show was hugely successful, winning the TV WEEK Logie for Best Comedy Program in 2008, some viewers took offence to the more contentious storylines.
The series did walk a very fine line between hilarious and highly inappropriate.
Chris played all three main characters; drama teacher Mr G, ‘popular girl’ Ja’mie King and troubled teen Jonah Takaloua.
The success of the show led to the popular spin-offs; Jonah From Tonga and Ja’mie: Private School Girl.
We look back at just some of our favourite moments from the show below…
