The low down...
Vale,
Valea, Jeff da Maori, Sione and Mack live in the suburb of Morningside
and attend the local college, St Sylvester's, where their principal is
a Fa'afafine and the PE teacher is legendary ex-All Black Michael Jones.
Vale
and Valea (loosely translates to dumb and dumber) are two brothers,
living in a single-parent household with their father Pepelo, a benefit
bludging, occasional fork-hoist driver with a love of beer, porn and
gambling. Vale has a strong social conscience while Valea is more
interested in pashing the girls, but both brothers believe in having a
strong solidarity with their boys. Sione is Vale and Velea's best mate
and fancies himself as a bit of a ladies man, while he constantly looks
for ways to impress the girl of his dreams, sixth former Mila Jizovich.
Jeff
da Maori lives with his mum and eight dads in a car shell outside the
house. He was brought up in the country by his auntie but then moved to
the city 'for better tv reception.’ Rounding out the group is the
softly spoken, flamboyant Mack (Rodney McCorkenstein-Taifule).
