Chances Online

Soap opera based around a family which is transformed when they win a large amount of money. Early episodes deal with the effect this fortunate event has on them. The later episodes have rather bizarre plot-lines, which involve (among other things) neo-Nazis, Triad gangsters, ghosts and carnivorous plants.

Kate Langbroek later recounted as a panelist on The Panel about her nudity on Chances which included remarking the movement of her breasts.

Katherine Li did the most nude or scantily clad scenes in the series and therefore undoubtedly a popular member of the Chances cast.

The sex scene with Stephen Whittaker and Katherine Li would later be reenacted by Matthew See and Karen Gillan.

Katherine Li makes her debut as Lilli Lo in episode 93.

The three top women of Chances are Katherine Li, Danielle Fairclough and Lorena Garcia.

Katherine Li, Danielle Fairclough and Lorena Garcia are the wives of Matthew See.

The Stephen Whittaker-Katherine Li sex scene and later re-enacted by Matthew See and Karen Gillan has been described as monkey business.

Matthew See naked in bed with his wife Karen Gillan. Naked Karen in bed gets off the phone.

Matthew: "Who was that?" Karen: "Do I ask you your business?" Matthew: "After what we just been through I thought your business is my business and vice versa." Karen: "That was monkey business, this is business business. You seem to forget that I have feelings of my own." Matthew: "I haven't forgotten. What do you reckon?" Karen: "What do I reckon about what?" Matthew: "Doing monkey business of our own."

Matthew then kisses his wife Karen as they do monkey business together.

I remember I was in High School when this classic piece of Australian TV graced our screens. Promoted to be a sophisticated, stunning shift in the direction of Australian programming, it soon began to smell like a forgotten cooked chicken in the boot (trunk) of the family car. The show caused a lot of controversy when first aired simply because of the fact that it contained a lot of tits and bum. When the public no longer cared about that, they swiftly moved on to eradicating great swathes of cast members in original and enjoyable death scenes. Finally the show limped into severely bizarre storylines and plots involving god-knows-what (no-one actually remembers, we were no longer watching) that produced a thoroughly embarassing television show for the actors and public alike. May it rest in peace.

Yes it had lots of T&A, and unbelievable plot lines - but thats what made it so Good! Not to be taken seriously, the main attraction was to see how far out the plot lines would become (and the T&A of course).

It was also notable for the high standard of its cast that it managed to attract. The cast included:

Michael Caton (all round Aussie legend), Cathy Godbold (hottie), Jeremy Sims (now a little more serious), Abigail (legend), Lawrence Mah (serial soap star) and many others.

I also have to say, at the time as an undergrad, it was refreshing to see some TV where the writers were smoking more than I was! Chances, we miss you.

So if you pick up the DVD, take it straight to the pool room.
