The ABC has commissioned 10-part Roadshow Rough Diamond drama 'Les Norton', based on the best-selling novels by Robert G. Barrett.
Tuesday nights will be given an injection of laughs as Channel Nine fast-tracks Super Fun Night direct from the US from Tuesday, October 15 at 8pm.
Joel Edgerton, Chris Hemsworth, Margot Robbie, Rebel Wilson, Garth Davis, Cate Shortland, Jocelyn Moorhouse and Eva Orner are among the Australians who have been invited to join the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences (AMPAS).
Set in 1985 and based on Robert G. Barrett’s classic Australian novels, follow the hijinks of Les Norton, a country bloke from outback Queensland.
Whether US audiences echo the largely lacklustre critic response to Rebel Wilson's new TV show, Super Fun Night, will remain to be seen, with the series set to premiere in the US tonight.
Sally Riley is bemused when people use this line when they are pitching projects to her: “This is definitely an ABC show.”
After landing his first lead role in Roadshow Rough Diamond’s 'Australian Gangster', Alexander Bertrand set his sights on playing the title character in the same production house’s 'Les Norton'.
Rebel Wilson carved out a niche as a bogan westie on Australian television before taking Hollywood by storm.
