Flatmates - Full Series

Television (Full Length Episode) – 1997

Episode One
The six flatmates cameraman Craig Wright, banker Geoffrey Dickman, student and beauty contestant Natasha Salisbury-Smith, and students Vanessa Adcock, Ceilla Govind, and Christian MacNevin move into their new house, and meet each other for the first time. Bedrooms are allocated and bags unpacked before they head out on a grocery shop for party supplies. Their housewarming party quickly spirals out of control, with police called to deal with gatecrashers and unruly guests. 

Episode Two
The flatmates wake up to a trashed flat and begrudgingly tackle the post-party clean up mission, while their displeased landlord stops by to survey the damage. The group tries to create a game plan for their flat finances, and set up a chore roster. Meanwhile, flatmate Craig finds himself developing a crush on Vanessa.

Episode Three
Flatmate Natasha is busy prepping for the upcoming Miss Howick beauty pageant. After Craig confesses his feelings to Vanessa, he interviews the flatmates to see how they feel about their new relationship — the reactions aren't all positive. Later, the flatties head off together to support Natasha as she competes in the pageant.

Episode Four
Flatmate Craig is having doubts about his relationship with Vanessa. Meanwhile Christian receives a rejection letter from a former girlfriend. Tensions are escalating in the flat, with the flatties beginning to bicker about the lack of cleaning. All while flatmate Ceilla is busy preparing for her 21st birthday with yet another huge flat party. 

Episode Five
Flatmate Geoffrey recuperates from a wild night out, and Christian's chemistry exam does not go well. Natasha is packing up to leave the flat early, with the flatmates glad she’s taking her freeloading boyfriend with her. The rest of the flatmates enjoy one last meal together in the flat, before they all move out and go their separate ways.
