A Place To Call Home

Great to see them supporting a quality production.

Slight spoiler for tonight’s episode

The look on Noni Hazlehurst’s face at the announcement was hilarious. Great direction to widen the shot then.

Great news it airing earlier in the year. I’m going to miss the show but glad it’s not going to get dragged out.

Great interview with much loved cast member and Aussie acting veteran.
