Came across this while using Google. The original cast of _Full Frontal_. ![Full Frontal '93](https://mediaspy-org-s3.s3.dualstack.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/original/4X/0/2/9/02909295ab1530c999e5ee3e9538857bc551007c.jpeg) ---

It’s worth noting that during Full Frontal’s first season, each episode had two or three Fast Forward cast members billed as “guest stars”, hence why there’s so many of them in this photo. (P.S. I can name 18 out of the 20 without Googling) ---

Don’t think you’ll see a full time cast of 20 on a tv show just aired in Australia again. Cast costs, sets and studios are expensive. ---

I just had another look and identified another one (Glenn Butcher, in the top row second from the right) so that’s 18. The only ones I don’t know are: - The one in the middle row second from the right - The one on the left in the bottom row ---

So discussion of the OC in the Classic TV Listings made me go and see if I could prove a random memory I had - that Nine used black and white a bit in their promos for it - which in turn made me think the show was nothing like it actually is. I didn’t find any Nine era promos for it, but did see this one - a Southern Cross Tasmania promo for it. Obviously only the end card is different, but you don’t see much tiger-logo SC.

Found this piece of history while cleaning around the house! Published 1993 In mint condition as well. Just the paper edges of the outside are a little bit worn. ![16414390355442798996764647617988](https://mediaspy-org-s3.s3.dualstack.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/original/4X/8/8/4/884d536273c0ae04d2279b566fcb48607ebbac08.jpeg) ---
