Most of this episode of Boxcutters was recorded live at Continuum 2011 on 11 June.
John and Josh wanted to investigate the reasons behind Australia makes so much acclaimed television science fiction and fantasy for children but never attempts to do anything for families or adults.
Sitting on the panel were: Chris Gist, ABC Commissioning Editor in Melbourne;
Philip Dalkin, writer on Sea Patrol and Stingers, amongst others; David Napier, director of K9; and Mark Shirrefs, co-creator of Spellbinder and The Girl from Tomorrow.
It’s an interesting conversation about budgets, audiences, networks and risk taking.
The goose drank wine:
