All Aussie Adventures

All Aussie Adventures is an Australian mockumentary television series that parodied the travel-adventure genre. Glenn Robbins plays Russell Coight, a survival and wildlife expert who charts his disastrous travels through Australia, spreading misinformation and causing accidents. The series ran on the Ten Network from 5 August 2001 to 29 September 2002. There was also a 14 November 2004 telemovie, Russell Coight's Celebrity Challenge, which featured minor celebrities joining Coight in the outback. The series parodies the adventure genre, which included the travels of the Leyland Brothers,... The Bush Tucker Man, Malcolm Douglas, Harry Butler and Alby Mangels. In these programs the host travels the wilderness meeting local people and providing insight into the flora and fauna of the country. The narration often verges on hyperbole. Episodes of All Aussie Adventures generally follow a similar format. Coight greets the audience and explains his latest reason for outback travel - often to help out a "mate".
