The Games
The Games was an Australian mockumentary television series set in Sydney during the 2000 Summer Olympics. The sitcom aired on ABC from 1998 to 2000, with two seasons of 13 episodes each. 'The Games' included Australian comedian Gina Riley and actor Nicholas Bell, as well as satirists John Clarke and Bryan Dawe. John Clarke and Ross Stevenson collaborated on the script. The series satirized corruption and cronyism in the Olympic movement, bureaucratic ineptness in the New South Wales public sector, and unethical behavior in politics and the media by focusing on the Sydney Organising Committee for the Olympic Games. The characters in the presentation had the same name as the actors who played them, which added to the illusion of a documentary about the Sydney Olympics.
