Did you know that “The Merrick and Rosso Show” was filmed at Foxtel in North Ryde?

Given it was a Foxtel show, that doesn’t seem very surprising or remarkable?

Well it costs money to hire studios that don’t belong to you.

Here are some idents from Movie Extra in 2009 under the Always Fine TV era:

I could at least see what they were trying to do, given how Movie Extra was being positioned at the time (as a bit quirky and even somewhat local-indie friendly from memory) - even if they look a bit cringe now.

Does anyone know about this show -

Derrick was produced exclusively for The Comedy Channel back in 2004 consisting of two episodes and he was like Australia’s answer to Mr. Bean. It was nominated for a Logie in 2005.

Is there any video of this?

Unfortunately it’s kind of lost media
But I do wish there were episodes on YouTube
