An Australian-Irish TV series that follows an Irish girl named Hannah (Lynn Styles) and an Australian boy named Brett (Zachary Garred) as they meet through a transfer port.

It also starred Robert Sheehan, Danielle Fox Clarke, Dan Colley, and Chelsea Jones.

It aired from November 5 to December 27, 2004.


Tropes for the show:

  • Cool Gate: Brett and Hannah discover a portal connecting his (Brett's) house in Perth, Australia to her school in Galway, Ireland. The writers started ignoring the time difference after a few episodes.
  • Instrumental Theme Tune: The series' intro song contains no audible vocals.
  • One-Word Title:
    • Knockout.
    • Sunburn.
    • Hostel.
  • Short-Runner: It lasted only barely over a month in 2004.
  • "Shut Up" Kiss: In the episode "Another Fine Mess", Brett says out loud to Hannah that he's worried they'll have to reveal the portal connecting his house to her school. A school official walks in on the two as Brett speaks, causing Hannah to forcibly kiss him to make him stop talking.
  • Time Zones Do Not Exist: In real life, Ireland and Australia are around nine hours apart, which is mostly ignored throughout the series when the characters visit each others' countries.
