ABC ENGAGES WITH SIGNIFICANT OTHERS

Today on the podcast I have 'Brett Sleigh' the acting 'Head of Drama' at the 'ABC' and 'Louise Smith' the 'Executive Producer' of their latest scripted drama ‘Significant others!’I am lucky enough to unpack 'Significant Others' with these guys today. As I have a huge passion for this style of content and to have people at the top of their game walk us through how this show was made is a real treat for us today.In a world were streaming and global content has become highly competitive against our local free to air programming - it is great to see 'ABC Australia' still at the top of their game with 'Significant Others' which is just as well produced as any other show on offer. The story of 'Significant Others' centres around a family in turmoil as they deal with the sudden disappearance of a family member. The show is a highly emotional, carefully written and beautifully acted. I highly recommend you catch up on the series on 'iView' - as the show did premiere last Sunday night and will continue this week. We will talk about the series production, the actors performances, the competitive market for eyeballs on localised content and what the 'ABC Australia' looks for in the style of shows they commission.  Learn more about your ad choices.
