Hi Nadine

The thing that first hooked me to this show was (excl. the Rafter house which is filmed in Concord) all the other exterior shots are from my area, it's been a long time since that has happened.

Lucky you

I thought it was some contractual think with CI but they must be loosing lots of money not bringing out the DVDs where just about every other new show does, more likely also being released online through sites like ABC iView and the always popular iTunes now has recent eps of House and other shows.

Back to Packed, wonder if/when it will be on DVD.

OT - I finally have fast Internet thanks for NextG and BigBond's 10Gb plan

Off to watch Who do You Think You are with David Tennant

Yep, I saw them on stage together last year when they performed at a STC benefit. Also saw Jessica perform this year on stage in Melbourne. She's an unbelievable talent.

What were the plays?

That's cool! Do you ever see them filming?

Coolness, well if you do let me know I'll definitely grab one for my LJ.

Nope, we didn't realise they had done the shots until after the show premiered. We'll be more prepared next year when the second season is filmed.

Saw Hugh and Jessica Marais in the Sydney Theatre Company Pier Group Cabaret - the last performance of that is traditionally the final year NIDA students performing a song, so both were there. I saw Jessica Marais in The Season of Sarsaparilla in Melbourne in January, since one of the regulars wasn't going to do the Melbourne season Jess landed the role.

They sing too? I'd love to see that on the show, but I'm not sure that'd happen...

Awesome.

Here's the icons I've made so far:

-Kelly- · 10-13-2008, 09:14 PM

Great icons Kylie

City Homicide is also on the hallmark channel

I think Ben's new girlfriend, is played by a Perth Actress

I'm not 100% sure but I've seen her in a kids shows, made in W.A. somewhere, I could be wrong

Kyls · 10-13-2008, 10:46 PM

Thanks Kel.

I'll have to check when that is on too.

I read that someone from Big Brother was in the show.. maybe tonights.. (some people didn't like the idea of her on the show)

Well we'll find out Dave's a singer, so it's not out of the question. I missed seeing the NIDA production of Sweet Charity last year, but apparently Jess was unbelievable in it, won awards too. Definitely will snag some of those icons and shall credit you.

That would be Krystal.

The storyline I'm actually looking forward to is listed below, have been excited about for a couple of weeks now.

Spoiler:

Carbo and Chrissy, Julie's work coleague

-Kelly- · 10-13-2008, 10:52 PM

No problem Kylie

I hope Krystal can act

lancer1993 · 10-13-2008, 10:56 PM

Any one see the bit on Sunrise this morning about tonights ep?

-Kelly- · 10-13-2008, 10:58 PM

Nope

I slept in

lancer1993 · 10-13-2008, 11:07 PM

I didn't record it as I was dubbing something from the HDD to DVD at the time, it was just about the special guest on tonights ep and they did a live cross to the Rafters street.

It's because Sunrise entertainment reporter James Tobin is guest starring on tonight's show. Sunrise website has the clip up.

-Kelly- · 10-13-2008, 11:39 PM

Sunrise might have the video up on their YT account

Awards? Sounds like it would have been a great one to watch. Shame you missed it!

Oh yeah - I read something about that in TV Week I think.. last weeks magazine. Where'd you hear it from?

Anyway.. yeah, should be interesting. I loved when Carbo was talking about the dresses in the last episode: "My mum.. she's got all these dresses upstairs. Covered in plastic. Ones with feathers and sparkly bits.. look like mermaids. Classics, all of them! They're from when mum was really skinny. Lets go get em!"

I flipped through the new TV Soap today, and it seems that:

Spoiler:

Ben and Melissa sleep together after drinking a lot of alcohol, but she says that it can't happen again, and so then he hooks up with a new girl. (Krystal, perhaps)
