Welcher & Welcher was an Australian sitcom written by and starring Shaun Micallef which aired on the ABC in 2003. The show revolved around a husband and wife run law firm.
One series of the show was produced and was aired throughout early 2003 on the ABC.
Episode 1 - Prejudice Quentin defends a controversial painting and the son of the most horrible man alive, Claude Buzzo. The articled clerk has locked herself in her office and the painters still haven't finished their three-week office makeover.
Episode 2 - Adam's Rib Quentin wants to sack the new solicitor, Peter-Paul for being too nice, but instead ends up accepting an invitation to dinner. Kate and Quentin team up to help two of their friends divorce. As a result, Kate decides to spice up their own marriage with some fantasy role-play. In this episode, Kate breaks the fourth wall.
Episode 3 - Favours Kate has a win in the industrial court defending a group of textile workers, who then offer to make her a dress for the Women-In-The-Law Dinner. Quentin does a favour for an old client of his father and learns once and for all that charity doesn't pay.
Episode 4 - The Winslow Boy Kate and Quentin's son, Winslow, has been expelled from boarding school and Quentin decides to take his son's case to the school board. But returning to Broadshadows brings back the horrors of his own school experience.
The DVD jacket lists episode 4 as "THE WINSLOW BOY", but the "Select Episode" on-screen menu lists it as "The Wilson Boy".
Episode 5 - Hypothetically Speaking Kate and Quentin take a proposal for a televised Hypothetical to be hosted by Sir Robert Jefferson (William McInnes) to the ABC. At the meeting with the Commissioning Editor (John Clarke), Quentin is asked to be the legal advisor on the ABC's new drama series, The Gavel Bangs Heavily, starring Sigrid Thornton. As Kate collects Sir Robert from the airport, Quentin spends his first and last day on a television drama set. As for the restraining order, you'll have to watch to find out.
Also in this episode is a bizarre little scene where Quentin has lunch in the ABC's canteen. His meal is a black leather boot. He rests his finger on the toe of the boot and then rests it above his top lip—leaving him with a black spot above his top lip. He then winds the bootlace onto his fork like spaghetti. This is obviously a recreation of a scene from Charlie Chaplin's 1925 film "The Gold Rush".
