‘Packed to the Rafters’…definitely not another cop show!

No, it’s not a reality series about Pat Rafter…and it’s definitely not another cop show.

After the failed attempt with “Last Man Standing” in 2005, its only natural for Seven to be cautious when bringing non-formulaic drama back to our screens.  It’s been a long time coming, but “Packed to the Rafters” is a new family drama, the first in a very long time to not rely on the hooks of law enforcement or medical surrounds (some even thought to tackle both, “Canal Road” much?).

“Packed the the Rafters” stars Rebecca Gibney, Erik Thomson and Michael Caton, from the team that brought us “Always Greener”.

“Packed to the Rafters” premieres 8:30pm Tuesday, August 26 on Seven.

It reminds me of an Australian family version of Outrageous Fortune.
There is the parents, then there is the grand dad, the kids…
Looks quite good though.
