Having written so much about Game of Thrones, I enjoyed putting together a guide for the uninitiated to mark its 10th anniversary. In the April 2021 issue of Foxtel, I also review the mini-series version of Black Narcissus, capture the best Top Chef quotes, speak to Undercover Billionaire star Elaine Culotti, and compare Sanditon with Belgravia.
Forgot to add this one earlier in the list of articles from 2019, but here is my assessment of the Game of Thrones finale.
Maddie Hockey and I had fun putting this together.
Lovely to meet Isaac Hempstead Wright as he toured Australia on behalf of Game of Thrones. For more from his chat, click here.
So proud of helming this 84-page special issue of TV WEEK Close Up. Below is a sampling of the kinds of things I produced with editing, writing and working closely with creative director Jacqui Page.
Main story co-authored with Jenny Cooney Carrillo, and second story with Maddie Hockey.
Each year, I get to know the contestants of Seven's My Kitchen Rules very well. It all begins with this contestant preview and the small tease in the TV Preview (which also includes a quote from my interview with Chai Hansen for The New Legends of Monkey). Aside from that, here is also an interview with Richard Armitage (whose voice I could hear all day) for Berlin Station, and a pun-filled box on Game of Thrones stamps.
Very excited to speak to fantastic actor.
Alfie Allen swung through Australia and New Zealand to promote season 6 of Game of Thrones as well as the season 5 DVD release. More of my chat with Alfie can be found here.
Taking a deep dive into Game of Thrones for Empire Australia was a real treat. I researched locations in Spain for season 6 to produce a traveller's guide and I spoke with language creator David J. Peterson for a preview of Dothraki usage in the latest series.
