Netflix Australia has delighted fans around the country by revealing the legendary and iconic TV series Round The Twist will be coming to the streaming service.

All seasons of the programme will be available for binge-watching on May 1.

The show was based on Paul Jennings' delightful books, and followed three children and their widowed father who lived in a lighthouse in the fictional coastal town of Port Niranda.

If you've seen a few bits from the show, then you'll know that the plot lines were sometimes a little outrageous.

ACTF's marketing Manager Jenny Buckland admitted Round the Twist really pushed the boundaries for what was acceptable for children's television.

She said: "The scripts were declared 'too rude', 'not for television' and 'outrageous'."

To give you a little refresher on some of the topics, the show dealt with: flatulence, defecation, urination, vomiting, body odour, underwear, birth (one involving a male), death, nudity, incest, genitalia, homosexuality, bestiality and coprophagia aka the consumption of faeces.

That one involving a boy giving birth was a doozy.

'The Big Burp' from season three focused on Pete, who decided to urinate on a tree. A tree spirit known as a dryad suddenly emerges and said that she has fallen in love with him.

Pete somehow (don't ask questions) becomes pregnant with the nymph's baby and he ends up giving birth through his mouth in a massive burp.

Afterwards, he vomits up a load of green slime, which was called an 'after-burp'. Yeah, we told you it was hectic.

Episodes were uploaded to YouTube a few years ago to give people around the world a chance to soak up some nostalgia. But they'll soon be available to watch by the dozen on Netflix.

It's surprising it's taken this long to get the iconic programme, which was voted by LADbible readers as the best '90s sitcom in Australia, on a streaming service. But we can all relax on May 1 and get round the twist.
