Welcome to the Round the Twist guide at TV Tome. Round The Twist is a wacky TV series written by the hilarious childrens author, Paul Jennings. It follows the bizarre lives of the Twist family. Tony Twist (aka dad) and his three children- the twins Pete and Linda and youngest son, Bronson- move from "The Big Smoke" (the city) to the sea-side village of Port Niranda. They move into an old lighthouse, previously owned by their new neighbour, Nell, and their new lives begin. Strange things happen to the Twist family, strange but hilarious things. The series has been running since 1989 with several new actors stepping in to fill the spaces of those all grown up.
