For the people who love their physical media, the fifth season of Australia’s favourite government department is finally being released on DVD: Utopia. Starring Rob Sitch, Celia Pacquola, Dave Lawson, Dilruk Jayasinha, and Kitty Flanagan, the hilarious antics of the Nation Building Authority continue, and you can own it from February 7th, 2024.
The fifth season of the award-winning series sees the beleaguered staff of the Nation Building Authority still trying to get the job done in the face of endless backflips, government interference and ever-shifting priorities. C.E.O. Tony Woodford and his loyal staff are forced to deal with project management teams interested only in talking points. Billion dollar projects announced without a business case or cost-benefit study. Shifting geo-political priorities. Rural road construction held up by a problematic statue. Cyber-attacks and an embarrassing UNESCO report.
You can purchase Utopia Seasons One to Four individually or as a boxset at where you can find it (JB Hi-Fi’s store listings are crap). Or, for the digital person – watch it now for free on iView or buy on iTunes. Also randomly available on paid streaming services, so check whatever you’ve subscribed to.
