The cast of a ‘shocking’ children’s TV show from the nineties have reunited 23 years after the last ever episode.
Nostalgic Australian kid’s comedy, Round The Twist, aired from 1990 until 2001 and was based on short stories written by author Paul Jennings.
It follows the Twist family, comprised of seven-year-old Bronson, 14-year-old twins Pete and Linda and their father Tony who all live together in an old lighthouse.
Throughout the four seasons, viewers watch how the family deal with the host of supernatural beings and circumstances they encounter.
It was unique in that it managed to be scary, hilarious, heartfelt, very Australian and shocking for many viewers, some of who complained that it was too rude for TV.
When looking back on some of the plot lines, it’s no surprise some say the show was ‘horrifying’ and ‘scarred them for life’.

In one episode Pete gets pregnant after urinating on a tree, in another Bronson’s genitals are transformed into a propeller after swallowing a rare ‘whirling derfish’ and a third saw Linda stalked by a possessed scarecrow.
The first two seasons, released in 1990 and 1993, starred Richard Moir as the father, but the kids were played by six different actors.
It then returned with another brand-new set of cast members for seasons three and four in 2000 and 2001, with the show airing on BBC One and Nickelodeon in the UK.
Now, 23 years after the last episode aired, stars of the beloved show have reunited.
The arrival of the Round The Twist musical at the Queensland Performing Arts Centre’s Playhouse afforded them the chance to meet up again.
The production follows the Twist family as they ’embark on a magical adventure to unravel a one-hundred-year-old mystery and rewrite history’.
