If you could write/produce/suggest the topic for the next great aussie drama what would it be??
I work in the TV industry and am constantly appalled by the lack of imagination and willingness from the commercial networks to try something new.
So without giving away storylines or fleshing out full outlines (my purpose is not to steal your ideas)
what kinds of things to people want to see??
More comedy?
More HBO like quality drama on an Aussie scale? (pipe dream i know)
It seems to me that our usual downfall is in the writing...yet when it comes to authors/novelists we produce some great talent.
Markus Zusak, Peter Carey, Tim Winton, Kate Grenville, to name a few.
Why does this rarely translate on the small screen?
Anyway just a few thoughts and frustrations I thought I'd share.
Believe me there are plenty of talented people in Aus TV industry...they just barely get a look in.
