*Coarse Language*In the follow up to Agony Uncles, Agony Aunts and The Agony of Life, Australia's funniest and brightest discuss being caught in the crossfire of modern manners. Over the six episodes our team of experts including Lawrence Mooney, John and Tom Elliott, Jess Harris, Steve Vizard, Ella Hooper, Dave O'Neil, Julia Zemiro and Tim Ross will show us how to behave, misbehave and what it feels like to be on the receiving end of both.Whether it's home, the office, in a relationship, online, travelling, at a wedding, a funeral or simply having dinner, our team of experts will chart the do's and don'ts of human behaviour. What is etiquette? What is rudeness? What is right and wrong? With society becoming more complicated by the day, it's time someone took us by the hand and guided us through the chaos.In the first episode our team look at the manners of work. The workplace is a hotbed of procedure and politics. Here the Aunts and Uncles guide you through the first day of a new job, explain the do's and don'ts of the office fridge, how you should behave in a lift and what you should and shouldn't wear to the office.They also lay down the law on how to avoid gossiping and being gossiped about and the appropriateness of eating, flossing or trimming nails at your desk. Then there's the phone - are personal calls in earshot of everyone a good idea, how loud a phone voice is too loud and should you only leave a voicemail in an absolute emergency?PRODUCTION DETAILS:A High Wire Films Production.
