ANSWERING THE CALL

One of Australia's most recognisable faces, the ubiquitous David Wenham, will play the lead in a new ABC miniseries, Answered by Fire.

The Canadian and Australian co-production, which starts shooting in Queensland late this month, tells the stories of a group of UN peacekeepers working in East Timor in the lead-up to its 1999 referendum on independence and the bloody aftermath.

Wenham plays an Australian police officer. The three-hour miniseries was co-written by Katherine Thomson and Barbara Samuels. Jessica Hobbs is directing.

That's wonderful news, thank you!

Possibly another reason to watch ABC. :-) I'll make my call once I see the first episode...

Oooh, interesting. I'll have to look out for that. A Canadian/Australian production, eh? Too bad they weren't shooting it in Canada and in my neck of the woods. I'd certainly be on the lookout for those neon arrow signs. ;)

Eeeee! Thank you for the news!

I haven't watched ABC in *forever* I'll watch this, though!!!

Wow! I am looking forward to seeing this. I know it's a bit in advance, but being in Canada, I am offering to tape this for people when it's aired.
