Soul Mates is an Australian comedy series starring Christiaan Van Vuuren and Nicholas Boshier, screened on ABC2.
Soul Mates follows the story of a couple of friends who are continually drawn together across the course of human history. In 2014, they are a pair of fashion-obsessed Bondi Hipsters. In prehistoric times, they experience all of life's firsts as a couple of cavemen. In 1981 they are two New Zealand secret agents known as the Kiwi Assassins. In the year 2093 they are working in a time travel agency called Ticky Time Tours, tackling time travel conundrums.
Soul Mates is created, written, produced and directed by Connor Van Vuuren, Christiaan Van Vuuren and Nicholas Boshier. Their previous online projects include Bondi Hipsters, Beached Az, Trent from Punchy and The Fully Sick Rapper.
Sticks (Boshier) and Rocky (Van Vuuren) are two cavemen, who tackle the new questions of prehistoric life. How do you find a woman? Is it alright to eat babies, or gods? They also tackle Rocky's self-destructive addictions to staring at the sun and spinning.
In the second series, Rocky returns and introduces the tribe to the concepts of capitalism, management, currency, banking and democracy.
Possum exterminator Terry Thinge (Boshier) is recruited by Mum (Rachel House), the head of New Zealand's Munustry of Dufinse, and paired with disgraced rugby player Roger Blade (Van Vuuren). Their first mission as the Kiwi Assassins is to convince a young actor named Russell Crowe to forsake Australia and return to his native New Zealand. Their next task is to restore New Zealand's dairy supremacy by infiltrating a farm where the Aussies claim to have invented "Fizzy Milk".
In the second series, Roger and Thinge go undercover at an Australian school whose rugby team has beaten the New Zealand Under-16s for several years in a row. Using an extract from the heart of Phar Lap, the school is enhancing and brainwashing Kiwi students into thinking they are Australian. Thinge's relationship with Mum and his step-son Roger is under strain, making Roger susceptible to Australian brainwashing.
