The Fitzroy Diaries

The Fitzroy Diaries

Fitzroy Diaries is back, and this time, the streets are bare, everyone’s stuck at home. There are numbers that come in daily, and they seem to colour everything. But there are new neighbours to get to know, old friends to stumble on, and a pile of cardboard boxes threatening to topple over at any moment.

Episodes

S3 08 | Warning: Gayle’s punch

September 28, 2021 • 27 mins
What would Fitzroy be without the occasional street party? Life’s good, and it might not stay this way forever, and who knows what’s coming, but a day with fruit punch, a speech and some dancing makes everything seem okay.

S3 07 | Everybody loves Darren

September 28, 2021 • 23 mins
A walk with an old friend, a romance confirmed, and the making of a citrus cake. Honestly, does life get any better than this? Even with all the flour on the floor? And on the bench? And everywhere?

S3 06 | A new friend who is also an old friend

September 28, 2021 • 23 mins
Fitzroy’s mood seems to be lifting, as a little bit of hope seems to fill the air. Phone numbers are swapped, and the idea of a party starts to take shape. Could life be returning to normal? Could it really be possible?

S3 05 | Neighbourhood rescue

September 28, 2021 • 20 mins
A glorious run, alone in the world, turns into a neighbourhood rescue, in which walls are climbed, ambulances are called, and useless ladders are held.  Amidst the drama, a romance is unfolding before our very eyes. We think so, anyway.

S3 04 | Maths is all around us

September 28, 2021 • 21 mins
There are teddy bears in windows, and numbers in our ears, and maths is all around us. And that’s just on the morning walk. The only sure thing is that Mum needs a coffee. Mum really needs a coffee.

S3 03 | The woman in the jellybean car

September 28, 2021 • 24 mins
Does time even exist? Did last week actually happen? Is it midday already? And what about that time, all those years ago, when you had your best friend close by? And how does it all change when here she is, in front of you, after all these years?

S3 02 | Just two things

September 28, 2021 • 15 mins
Can the number of cardboard boxes in a house destroy a family? It feels like it, despite the fact that they seemed to offer the hope of hours of fun craft-based activities. Now they’re just tripping hazards.

S3 01 | An appointment

September 28, 2021 • 22 mins
It’s raining in Fitzroy. Everyone’s inside, where it feels like they’ve been stuck forever. How can you have nothing to do and nowhere to be and still be late for the one appointment you’ve had in weeks?

S2 E5 | A Moment of Trauma

November 8, 2019 • 14 mins
Fitzroy seems different today, but the roadworks stop for nobody, and neither do the conversations.
Mark as Played

S2 E1 | Zen from the neck down

November 8, 2019 • 16 mins
The guy from the new apartment with the sharp yellow door is no match for Gayle’s enormous recycling bin and Nicholson Street is no match for the jackhammers. Everybody’s into it.

S2 E8 | Thank you Aurora

November 8, 2019 • 28 mins
The Italian Cultural Centre in Carlton is full of people today, and Alistair — who nobody likes but nobody knows — brought potato salad. Sometimes the important thing is to show up.

S2 E2 | Who even is Ed Sheeran?

November 8, 2019 • 19 mins
It’s one of those days where the fun slips out of everything, until the woman they call ‘bird lady’ finally emerges from the abandoned house down the street.

S2 E7 | Kombucha Smash

November 8, 2019 • 20 mins
Damo has big news. In smaller news, Alistair, who nobody likes but nobody knows, has a sister, who unexpectedly accepts an invitation on his behalf.

S2 E4 | Everything stops

November 8, 2019 • 20 mins
There are lots of cars in the street today. One is a white van. The other two are ambulances.

S2 E6 | A point off for garnish

November 8, 2019 • 3 mins
It’s Rhyme Time in the Carlton Library today and everyone’s talking about the news … except for Frankie from 100, who eats strawberries in the park, because of course she does.

S1 E1 | With me, even when you’re not

July 16, 2018 • 13 mins
It’s the end of the week and fire trucks light up the street. Alan, out the front of his house, hose in hand, knows everything. What he won’t say, though, is what, exactly, is Luminous Ute Guy’s problem.

S1 E3 | A precious time

July 16, 2018 • 13 mins
Gayle, the woman from up the road who "used to live in Brighton" turns out to have hidden depths. Because don’t we all? And Greg quietly comes to the rescue of Alan.
Mark as Played

S1 E2 | Different back then

July 16, 2018 • 13 mins
Gertrude Street, once home to gangsters, now high-end retail, still has a playground. Queen of the playground is Zahra, born on the other side of the world. Alan, though, was born in the front room of his house 83 years ago. Some days it feels like a whole other world.

S1 E8 | The street party

July 16, 2018 • 13 mins
At the street party, everybody’s there. Everyone, that is, except for Luminous Ute Guy. Zahra and the kids paint a chalk world under the chairs and don’t worry because there’s leftover pav for everyone.

S1 E7 | The incident

July 16, 2018 • 13 mins
The old Nonna’s house goes up for auction. Alan, 83, who used to play with her as a kid, seems bereft. Greg and the couple from up the road — is it Alec and Marcus? — conspire to make things better. And Luminous Ute Guy shows his true colours.
