Bernie Brown is a comedy series following the adventures of Bernadette ‘Bernie’ Brown, written and directed by Cassie Dart.

Set in an alternate reality known as the Big City, Bernie works as a mail girl at the Trickett Press, the last surviving print magazine house in the country. Run by loudmouth boss Glenn Trickett (Craig Mather), Glenn is a dinosaur of the past who can’t accept his print house is sinking - and fast!
As the workplace descends into chaos, Glenn’s endless enthusiasm and lack of filter serve to offend just about everybody. Unequipped to bring the Press into the digital age, Glenn pins all his hopes on new hotshot editor Adam Hunter (Christian Heath).
Adam is tasked to make online trash mag Shocka.com a hit with readers, but the dashing British stud is more focused on his own image. To make matters worse, Adam’s charms are not appreciated by senior editor Polly Canaré (Constance Washington), a formidable feminist with her own ambitious agenda.
While Polly is determined to see her new women’s magazine Pumper on supermarket racks, budget cuts loom, and Adam and Polly go head-to-head. Meanwhile Bernie develops an unhealthy flirtation with Adam.
Things get even more complicated when Bernie is promoted to become Polly’s executive assistant, finding herself in the middle of mayhem. With endless optimism, Bernie is determined to make the most of it, and things start to look up.
Until the sudden appearance of her old high school nemesis, Apricot Pectin, stirs up Bernie’s troubled past. As she battles to find her way forward, the fantasies are about to get a whole LOT weirder!
Bernie Brown makes for special viewing with its colourful characters and fantasy-like setting, inviting viewers into a fun filled escape.
Fast paced, witty and with a healthy dose of slapstick, the series makes for an excellent weekend binge.
As well as Bernie, Louie and the wacky Trickett Press (played by our cast pictured above) the show also features a diverse supporting cast including Dan Haberfield, Patrick Hill, Tom Liddy, Huw Jennings, Vanessa Cammaroto, Frank Handrum, Kentaro Hara, Frederique Fouche and Elizabeth O'Callaghan.
Top that with guest appearances from James Mason (Neighbours), Don Bridges (Judy & Punch), Gabriel Gaté (Good Morning Australia), Peter Hitchener (National Nine News), James Liotta (Planet Unearth), Rowan Francis (Fat Tony & Co) and Joanne Nguyen (Just Between Us) - what more could you want!
