WORKING WITH PINTER
Sunday, 05 April 2009
For 50 years Harold Pinter was at the centre of
theatrical life not just in his home country of
Britain, but all over the world. It is hard to overestimate the impact of his work. Not only a
remarkable playwright with one of the most
illustrious careers in contemporary theatre,
Pinter's career also encompassed acting,
poetry and political activism as a vociferous
critic of American and British foreign policy. He also won the Nobel prize for
literature. His 29 plays are continually produced with undimmed enthusiasm
by school students and great directors and actors alike.
In this hour-long program director Harry Burton invited Pinter to participate in
a master class with actors and some observers. The film is an attempt to
capture something of the collaborative spirit that made working with him a
very special experience.
The program includes extracts from several of his plays: No Man's Land, The
Dumb Waiter, Old Times and The Homecoming, interspersed with a revealing
interview with Pinter and his oldest theatrical collaborator, Henry Woolf, his
friend of 60 years.
Working With Pinter will be repeated on ABC2 – Sunday, April 12 at 3:30pm
PRODUCTION DETAILS:
1 x 55 minutes. Executive Producers: Robert Fox and Michael Kustow;
Producer: Caroline Ross Pirie; Director: Harry Burton. A Robert Fox Limited
production.

MEDICINE MEN GO WILD: WORLD OF PAIN
Wednesday, 08 April 2009
Is it possible to conquer pain using only the
mind?
Intrepid twin doctors, Chris and Xand van
Tulleken, travel to Malaysia, Tibet and India to
find out.
First stop is Kuala Lumpur where, among the
chaos and religious fervour of a Hindu festival,
the doctors are intrigued by the devotees’ ability to endure the extreme pain of
facial piercing by entering a blissful trance.
They conduct an experiment of their own. Chris continues his stressful job as
a doctor in a London hospital while Xand prepares in the manner of a
devotee, undergoing religious instruction in Malaysia.
Seven days later, the two join thousands of devotees paying tribute to a Hindu
god by having vels (small metal spears) thrust through their cheeks and
tongue for a few hours. Who fairs better?
The twins then travel to Nepal to explore the region's ancient Tibetan medical
system that does not include any medicines to deal with pain.
From there they travel to India to meet some atheist guru-busters who show
how calmly they cope with the pain of being suspended in the air by hooks
inserted into the skin of their backs using only the power of their mind without religious faith. Chris gives it a go.
PRODUCTION DETAILS:
Producer and Director: Tom Beard; Executive Producers: Andrew Palmer and
Zam Baring. Narrated by Chris van Tulleken. Presented by Chris and Xand
van Tulleken. Made by Keo Films for Channel 4 in association with Discovery
Channel.

COMPASS: STATIONS OF THE CROSS... THE MAKING
OF
Friday, 10 April 2009
The Good Friday Compass special will screen at 6pm
on ABC2 and at 7:30pm on ABC1.
When World Youth Day was staged in Sydney last
year one of the principal events, the Stations of the
Cross, a re-enactment of Christ's last hours, was
beamed worldwide.
Months of rehearsal, sweat, blood and tears went into
the ambitious production headed up by Father Franco Cavarra, a one-time opera director
who joined the Roman Catholic priesthood 10 years ago.
It was his job to bring to life the 2000 year old story of Christ's suffering and death.
"Clearly the responsibilities are very high. And therefore one is almost overwhelmed. Can
we possibly do it? Can we bring it off? Can we do justice to it?" he tells the cameras in the
opening days.
First up was the task of casting the perfect "Jesus" and "Mary". Eager recruits from across
Sydney and beyond turned up for the call out.
All the performers were volunteers drawn to the project because of their faith. But behind
the scenes were some highly experienced professionals including Father Franco, and the
production designer Michael Scott Mitchell.
Michael was responsible for everything from building the central props - including the
crosses (two were needed: one for the street scenes, and one for the crucifixion); to how
to keep Jesus warm during the dramatic crucifixion scene down by Sydney's foreshore
where icy winds pushed the mid-winter temperature to near freezing point.
On the day (18 July 2008) huge crowds flocked to St Mary's Cathedral, the Opera House
and Darling Harbour to follow the three hour open air showcase.
Now, for the first time viewers can see what happened behind the scenes, as well as
selected highlights of the final production, in this Compass Easter Friday special.

Teachers
Repeat
Set in the world of a modern secondary comprehensive school, Teachers is
a series about a group of young teachers and their lives and loves.
Teachers tackles the sensitive issues along with the not-so-serious - and
always with wit, style and humour. The story of twenty-something teachers
and what they really get up to when there's no school desk to hide behind.
They don't behave very differently from their pupils; they gossip, swear,
sneak into the toilet for a cigarette, are frequently late and always trying to get
out of doing any work.
The action centres on Simon (Andrew Lincoln), just turned twenty-seven but
fighting maturity. Simon's life is divided between school and the pub where he
surrounds himself with best friends and colleagues, Susan (Raquel Cassidy),
Kurt (Navin Chowdhry) and Brian (Adrian Bower).
At school, Simon enjoys a love/hate relationship with fellow teacher Jenny
(Nina Sosanya) and clashes with her over his unconventional teaching
methods and familiar relationship with the students. After a public argument
Simon lets slip that he really wants to sleep with her. He is also struggling
with his feelings over new girlfriend, Maggie. He likes her but doesn't like her
job - she's a Police Constable.
Simon's dad's sudden revelation that he is marrying Marcella (Anna Holkar),
whom Simon fancies, sends Simon running to Susan for comfort and advice.
Her advice: grow up and move out.
