The Adventures of Lano and Woodley is a comedic television series from Australia featuring the comedic pair Lano and Woodley (Colin Lane and Frank Woodley). It was broadcast on ABC TV between 1997 and 1999, spanning two seasons. The initial season was made available on VHS, while in 2004, a comprehensive two-disc DVD titled The Complete Adventures of Lano and Woodley was released, rather than issuing the seasons individually.

Comedian Tony Martin has revealed that although scripts for Seasons 3 and 4 were completed, they were never filmed because the ABC’s comedy division head considered the show not timely enough. For a possible third season, Lane and Woodley drafted six episodes, and for a fourth season, writers such as Martin, Matthew Quartermaine, and Matt Cameron developed seven episodes.

Season 1 (1997)

The debut season first aired on ABC on 1 September 1997 and subsequently appeared on BBC2 in the United Kingdom in September 1999. This series was produced by Working Title/Polygram UK with Marc Gracie serving as the Australian producer. Direction was handled by Bob Spiers—noted for his work on Fawlty Towers and Absolutely Fabulous—for the episodes "Starquest" and "The Girlfriend," while Jon Olb and Mandy Smith directed other installments. The soundtrack was primarily composed by Mal Webb, except for "Starquest," which featured music by Yuri Worontschak.

Season 2 (1999)

The second season debuted on The Comedy Network in Canada in March 1999 before airing on ABC TV starting 15 May 1999. Music for this season was composed by Mal Webb.
