Feel like your family members are turning into some of Australia’s most-loved TV characters?
Well here’s a shock you didn’t expect: maybe you’re the one slowly becoming the Kath Day-Knight of your very own Fountain Gate.
Read on to discover which Aussie TV character you are based on the decor in your home.
Are you Alf Stewart?
If your living room is filled with puffy recliner chairs, decorative stubby holders, and collectable licence plates, you might be channeling your inner Alf Stewart. You can often be found yelling “strewth!” at the TV from your leather recliner, and you never leave home without a decorative stubby holder. Framed sports guernseys and frilly curtains are also a staple in your home.

You’re everything we love about an Aussie bloke of a certain age. Never change, ya flamin’ galah! Although I do draw the line at hamburger phones.
Are you Irene Roberts?
If your home is filled with boomerang pillows, ‘live, love, laugh’ decals, and crocheted blankets, you might be an Irene Roberts in the making. You’re a busy lady who doesn’t have time for interior trends, and you prioritize comfort over looks on the home front. That’s why your quote decal hasn’t come off the wall since 2002, and why you refuse to part ways with the doll toilet-roll holder you picked up at a garage sale over two decades ago.

But we still adore you because your home oozes heart and soul. You do you.
Are you Harold Bishop?
If you have a commemorative spoon collection, instruments on display, and a VHS player, you might be a Harold Bishop at heart. You love cracking out the tuba when people come around and can’t part ways with your beloved VHS tapes. There’s also nothing more relaxing than polishing your spoon collection. You also have too many aprons for someone who doesn’t bake very much.

Are you Mr G?
If you have framed theatre posters, a dress-up box, and a karaoke machine, you might be a Mr G in disguise. Every night is an opportunity to get out the feather boa, pop on some ABBA, and drink a few bottles of Passion Pop. You love all things Broadway and can name every one of Barbra Streisand’s singles – including where they landed in the charts.

Are you Sharon Strzelecki?
If your living room displays old trophies, cricket memorabilia, and a mini bar fridge with a toaster oven, you might be a Sharon Strzelecki at heart. You love your sport and it shows. Your bedroom shelf is stacked with participation trophies from sports days gone by. Even though your kitchen can fit a regular fridge, you have a bar fridge with a toaster oven on top.
