Meet The Breakfast Bar team
No The Breakfast Bar is not a new breakfast show for TEN, but the fictional show-within-a-show from The Wrong Girl.
Jessica Marais plays a producer on the series, which sees Craig McLachlan and Madeleine West as brekkie TV anchors.
Not based on anyone in particular of courseâŚ.
The cast also features Hamish Blake, Rob Collins, Ian Meadows, Doris Younane, Steve Vizard, Ian Meadows, Hayley Magnus, Kevin Harrington, Leah Vandenberg, Christie Whelan Browne, Hugo Johnstone-Burt, David Woods and Cecelia Peters.
In the 1995 movie Jackie Chanâs First Strike, Garry Wilkinson (who was working at Seven at that time) presented a fake news bulletin. Half of the movie was filmed in Brisbane.

Which movie was that from?
Iâm surprised that the mock National Nine News bulletin with Ian âRoscoeâ Ross during the 1997 Australian movie The Castle hasnât been mentioned here yet.
This movie is also notable for including a mock segment from âThe Price Is Rightâ with Larry Emdur.
