Editing Acropolis Now (section)

==Synopsis==
Jim's (Giannopoulos) father asks him to run the family business, the Acropolis café, when he suddenly leaves Australia to return to his homeland [[Greece]]. The series centres on the activities of the cafe staff. [[Greeks|Greek]] Jim Stefanidis, is the immature owner and his best friend, [[Spaniard]] Ricky Martinez (Palomares) is the sensible manager (seasons 1-2 only). Memo (Kapiniaris) is the traditional Greek waiter, Liz is the liberated Australian waitress. Skip is the new cook from the bush, naïve to wog culture but more accomplished in Greek cuisine than Jim, and Manolis is the stubborn, incompetent, drunk cook from the old cafe. The show's humour arises from the clash of cultures and beliefs.

Jim's hairdresser cousin [[Effie Stephanidis|Effie]], played by [[Mary Coustas]], became a hugely popular and enduring character during the run of the show. Coustas later reprised the role for several TV specials and series including ''[[Effie, Just Quietly]]'', an [[Special Broadcasting Service|SBS]] comedy/interview show, and ''[[Greeks on the Roof]]'', a short-lived [[Greek-Australian]] version of the British [[television show]] ''[[The Kumars at No. 42]]''.
