    In other news, I’ve just finished the first draft of a new screenplay and next month I’m back writing on series 9 of “Shaun Micallef’s Mad as Hell” on ABC TV. Can’t wait.

  • Lights, Camera, Maction! Ep #5 (TV’s “Bondi Vet”)

    Horah! It’s episode 5 of Sam Mac’s “Lights, Camera, Maction!” guest starring Dr Chris Brown (AKA The Bondi Vet – who turns out to be a pretty good actor), as well as myself and the delightful and clearly gullible Minky Cooper for another escapade into stuff girls like.

    This time we have a slumber party… Enjoy!

    And once again, cheers to Simon Eastwood behind the camera.

    Kind regards,
