Sugar and Spice (Series TV)
Pixie and Molly are arch enemies, as different as sugar and spice. During the 1920s, they are forced to leave home to attend high school – together. They travel hundreds of miles from the tiny settlement of Coolawong, deep in the Australian outback, to a big country town – together. The girls begin a new life with a new family. Together they fight, laugh, join the Girl Guides, fly in a biplane, discover Rudolph Valentino – and together, they grow up to understand one another. A warm, humorous and exciting story of two very strong-willed girls and the development of a most unlikely friendship. "Sugar and Spice" (20 episodes): Episode 1: Going Ready or Not.
