Upper Middle Bogan is an Australian television comedy series created by Robyn Butler and Wayne Hope. It began screening on ABC on 15 August 2013. The series is directed by Hope and Tony Martin. Upper Middle Bogan was renewed for a second season of eight episodes, which began airing from 16 October 2014. Season 3 of the show has been airing since the 12th of October, 2016.
Upper Middle Bogan follows the story of two different families connected by blood. Bess Denyar is a doctor who lives in a nice house in an inner city suburb of Melbourne with her architect husband Danny and 13-year-old twins Oscar and Edwina. Bess is stunned when she finds out from blood test results that she is adopted. This occurs when her overbearing posh mother Margaret is admitted to the hospital for high blood sugar levels. Bess tries to meet her birth parents, Wayne and Julie Wheeler. She is shocked to learn that she has three siblings (Amber, Kayne and Brianna) and that her biological family, the "bogan" Wheelers", head a drag racing team in the outer suburbs of the city.
The town house featured as Margaret Denyar's house in Upper Middle Bogan is located at Summerhill Road in Brighton East, Victoria. It is used to shoot both interior and exterior scenes for the series. The house was sold for $1,905,000 at an auction held on 24 May 2014.
The house featured as the Wheeler's House is located at Saratoga Crescent in Keilor Downs, Victoria, which can be confirmed by comparing the opening scenes with Google maps earth view (see solar panels on neighbor's house). Amber's new house is at Copernicus Way. The Driving Office scenes were filmed in Gisborne, Victoria, as were the motel scenes.
In the United States the show is titled Bess of Both Worlds and began streaming from 4 March 2015 on the subscription video-on-demand service Hulu. It will be remade by CBS, with contributions by Dan O'Shannon and Todd Holland. In New Zealand, the show airs Thursday nights at 10:00 pm on TV One. Episodes are available weekly to stream through TVNZ's Watch Now service.
