  • On the Terrace: Gettin’ Down

    As we near the end of series one of Night Terrace, On the Terrace host Vaya Pashos talks with writer Lee Zachariah and audio designer David Ashton about the penultimate episode of series one: “Discoworld”.

    Anastasia and Eddie have really started to get into the swing of travelling through time and space – despite her objections. But when they end up in a 1970s disco where the partygoers explode, things get really weird… Have they bit off more than they can chew? Vaya, Lee and David talk about their influences, how the show was recorded, guests stars Adam Richard and Naomi Rukavina, and the secrets of the disco soundscape and soundtrack for this episode.

    Episode seven of Night Terrace, “Discoworld”, is available on BBC Radio 4 Extra for 30 days after broadcast. You can also listen to episode one for free, and purchase the rest of the series, via nightterrace.com or the Splendid Chaps Bandcamp store. Find Vaya on Neighbuzz at neighbuzzpod.com.

    Show Notes
    • Songs For Europe: Two Short Plays About Eurovision was Splendid Chaps Productions’ first foray into theatre during the 2013 Melbourne Fringe Festival. The plays were written by John Richards and Lee Zachariah and directed by Lucas Testro (also host of the podcast Doctor Who and the Episodes of Death). The first play told the story of a young journalist who tracks down a fictional Eurovision contestant who scored nul points in her youth, while part two was set in a bar in 1974 Portugal where activists are waiting for the signal to start the revolution – a Eurovision hit being played over the radio.
    • Henry Higgins is a language professor who trains Cockney flower girl Eliza Doolittle to speak like an upper class lady in both George Bernard Shaw’s play Pygmalion and the musical adapatation My Fair Lady (though each have quite different endings).
    • Douglas Adams’ The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy was originally a radio series broadcast on BBC Radio 4 in 1978 and 1980. If you’ve never heard the original version, do yourself a favour and track it down. The disco sequence Lee mentions occurs in “Fit the Eighth”, the second episode of “The Secondary Phase” (or series two).
    • Adam Richard is well-known to Australian audiences as a stand-up comedian and television personality, appearing frequently as a panellist on musical game show Spicks and Specks and Doctor Who after-show Whovians. He also co-created and co-wrote the 2012 ABC television sit-com Outland with John Richards, about a gay science fiction fan club, and played the character “Fab” in the show.
    • A Dyson sphere is an enormous, theoretical construct which completely encloses a star, capturing the maximum possible amount of the star’s energy. Though the idea first appeared in a story in 1937, it got it’s name when it was popularised by physicist Freeman Dyson, who thought it would be the logical endpoint of the ever-escalating power requirements of an advanced civilisation. A Dyson sphere appears in the episode “Relics” of Star Trek: The Next Generation.
    • Ringworld is a 1970 novel by science fiction author Larry Niven in which a human is recruited by aliens to investigate the “ringworld”, an enormous ring-shaped construct the diameter of the Earth’s orbit, encircling a star.
    • Terry Pratchett’s Discworld books are set on a world which is a flat disc, carried through space on the backs of four enormous elephants who stand on the shell of Great A’Tuin, the star turtle. They – and Pratchett’s other works – are the subject of the Splendid Chaps Productions podcast Pratchat.
    • You can find Ethan Persof’s The Bureau – both the graphic novel and the soundtrack – at his web site, ep.tc/the-bureau.
    • You can watch Sesame Street’s parody “It’s Hip to Be a Square” on YouTube.

    • On the Terrace: Camping Out

      In episode six of On the Terrace, Vaya chats with Night Terrace head writer John Richards and episode writer Ben McKenzie about the show’s sixth episode: “The Last Hunt”.

      Anastasia and Eddie are separated from the house in Australia’s distant past, just as they’re attacked by a vicious beast! Luckily for them, two local hunters are tracking it – and they’re happy to help our housemates get home along the way. Meanwhile someone else is telling the story of this last hunt to a group of children – including one little girl who has a lot of impertinent questions… The crew discuss their thoughts about being on the BBC, writing this episode, Australian megafauna, casting the series – including this episode’s Naomi Rukavina and Gnarnyarrahe Waitairie – and how it all came together.

      Episode six of Night Terrace, “The Last Hunt”, is available on BBC Radio 4 Extra for 30 days after broadcast. You can also listen to episode one for free, and purchase the rest of the series, via nightterrace.com or the Splendid Chaps Bandcamp store. Find Vaya on Neighbuzz at neighbuzzpod.com.

      Show Notes
      • George Ivanoff still reviews books and DVDs on his web site, georgeivanoff.com.au, in his Literary Clutter and Viewing Clutter columns respectively. Ben came up with the idea that would become “The Last Hunt” as a suggestion which won one of his favourite Doctor Who stories, The Aztecs, on DVD, and you can read his original suggestion here.
      • George appears in an episode of Hello! My Name is Eddie, a series of six mini-episodes produced thanks to the first season’s crowdfunding campaign. It’s a collection of Eddie Jones’ misadventures from before he met Anastasia Black. You can find it on our Buy page or in our Bandcamp store.
      • The platypus ancestor at Melbourne Museum is part of the 600 Million Years: Victoria Evolves exhibit, but unfortunately at the time of writing the web site for that exhibit was experiencing technical difficulties! We’ll contact the museum and hopefully update this show note soon.
      • The “marsupial lion” Thylacoleo carnifex was (as far as we know) the biggest carnivorous mammal to evolve in Australia. It’s extinction is dated to around 46,000 years ago – making Anastasia’s guess that the house has landed 50,000 years in Australia’s past a good one. While one of the theories for its extinction does involve climate change, the more favoured one is still hunting and habitat encroachment from humans.
      • You might have seen Gnarnayarrahe Waitairie doing his version of Elvis as “Elvis Elvis” in 2003 Australian film The Wannabes, about a group of wannabe children’s entertainers who get hired by a political party. It was later released in the US as Criminal Ways after co-star Isla Fisher found bigger fame in Hollywood.
      • Chantoozies are an Australian pop group formed in the mid 80s, comprising four female singers and four male instrumentalists. (The name is an intentional misspelling of the French word chanteuses.) Their biggest hit was their first single, 1987’s “Witch Queen”, a cover of a American rock group Redbone’s song “The Witch Queen of New Orleans”. They’re probably better known to most Australian listeners for their 1991 cover of “Love the One You’re With”. They disbanded in 1992, but reformed in 2012 and have since toured extensively, including with Rick Astley.
      • Hunters & Collectors are a long-running Australian rock group formed in the late 70s. Their best known songs include “Do You See What I See?”, “Holy Grail” and “Throw Your Arms Around Me” (famously covered by the Doug Anthony All-Stars).
      • The Facebook group Just not that many (rather than “But not that many”) is a “grassroots visibility initiative created to combat the idea that diverse artists are small in numbers”. Their next big photoshoot, as of the time of writing, will be on Monday, June 3rd at the Melbourne Arts Centre.
      • The Bechdel-Wallace Test (as its creator prefers to call it) was invented by Alison Bechdel as dialogue between characters in her webcomic Dykes to Watch Out For. The original rules are: the movie has to have at least two women in it, who talk to each other about something besides a man. Most recent versions add the caveat that the women must be named characters, so “Lawyer #1” and “Bored Woman” don’t count. You can find out if a film passes the test at bechdeltest.com.
      • Eryn Saunders is killing it on Instagram! Follow her now before she becomes the next Sophie Turner.
      • Sonnigsburg was a six-part supernatural television series about a mysterious town in the forest which hadn’t been visited for seventy years. Eryn Saunders played Olivia, while Petra Elliott played Jade. Originally aired on Victorian community station Channel 31, you can now watch the entire series on YouTube.
      • Get Krack!n is an Australian parody of morning television, and also a truly biting socio-political satire. It’s written by and stars Kate McClennan and Kate McCartney, who previously made The Katering Show. It’s not currently available on iView, but you can find the final episode for purchase on YouTube.
      • Cleverman is an Australian-New Zealand-American co-production, created by Ryan Griffen for SundanceTV in the US and the ABC in Australia. It’s finished now after two seasons of a total of twelve episodes. It seems to be available on Netflix outside of Australia; here you can get it on iTunes and a few other places.
      • Top End Wedding is a new Australian romantic comedy in which Lauren (Miranda Tapsell) and her fiancee Ned must find Lauren’s mother, who’s gone off into the bush in far northern Australia, before they can get married. It premiered in the 2019 Sundance Film Festival, and is currently in cinemas in Australia.
      • The Sapphires is a 2012 film adaptation of the 2004 play about a singing group of all Aboriginal women who find fame and go on to perform for Australian troops during the Vietnam war. Both the film and the play are based loosely on the story of a real group called The Sapphires, though there are some significant departures from real life. It stars Deborah Mailman, Jessica Mauboy (who was the first performer to represent Australia at Eurovision, though not in competition), Shari Sebbens and Miranda Tapsell as the singers, and Irish actor Chris O’Dowd as the (entirely fictional) talent scout who helps them rise to fame.

      • On the Terrace: Shocking Facts

        In the fifth episode of On the Terrace, Vaya chats with Night Terrace head writer John Richards and sound designer David Ashton about episode five: “Sound & Führer”.

        The house arrives in the far future in a theme park staffed entirely by robot versions of…Adolf Hitler? John, David and Vaya try to explain how this came about, the sci-fi tropes involved, working with Alan Brough and Phil Zachariah, and how the music, soundscapes and voice effects were created.

        Episode five of Night Terrace, “Sounds & Führer”, is available on BBC Radio 4 Extra for 30 days after broadcast. You can also listen to episode one for free, and purchase the rest of the series, via nightterrace.com or the Splendid Chaps Bandcamp store. Find Vaya on Neighbuzz at neighbuzzpod.com.

        Show Notes
        • In 2015 the New York Times ran a reader poll asking “Could you kill baby Hitler?”, which spawned a bunch of memes and led to the question being asked of several Republican candidates for the 2016 Presidential election. When asked on Jimmy Kimmel Live, Donald Trump replied “no comment”.
        • The documentary series Dancing in the Street: A Rock and Roll History (known as simply Rock and Roll in the US) was made in 1995 as a co-production between the BBC and WGBH. It won a Peabody Award, so the fact that it may be full of factual errors is a bit of a concern… The US version aired in 1995, narrated by Liev Schreiber, while the UK version appeared on BBC Two in 1996, narrated by Sean Barrett (a voice actor known for, among other things, being one of the English voices of Asterix).
        • The main “villainous” cast of Hogan’s Heroes, Werner Klemperer (Colonel Klink) and John Banner (Sergeant Schultz), were indeed Jewish. Klemperer (who got the role without knowing it was to be played for laughs) insisted that if Klink were ever shown in a heroic light, he would quit. Banner served in the US Army in World War II. The rest of the main cast were too young to have served in the war, but Robert Clary (Louis LeBeau), also Jewish, was sent to Buchenwald concentration camp during the German occupation of France.
        • The film John is thinking of is probably 2005’s Stealth, in which an advanced fighter jet equipped with Artificial Intelligence is struck by lightning and turns evil.
        • For more on the lightning-turning-things-evil trope, check out the All the Tropes article for “Lightning Can Do Anything”.
        • The Magic Roundabout was an English stop-motion children’s programme, re-dubbed with new scripts from the French original, Le Manège enchanté. It ran from 1965 to 1977, and was aired on Australia’s ABC well into the 1980s, usually as part of their morning children’s programming. (An American version, The Magic Carousel, used American voice actors and was closely based on the original French version.) A more recent CGI reboot has not become as much of a classic.
        • John recommended the BBC radio adaptation of Robert Harris’ novel Fatherland. (Ben also recommends the book, and thinks the film is pretty good too.)
        • David recommended the steampunk audio drama podcast Victoriocity.
        • Vaya mentioned The Boys From Brazil, originally a novel by Ira Levin, and filmed in 1968 with Gregory Peck, Laurence Olivier and James Mason in the main roles.
        • The other Hitler-in-fiction things mentioned are:
          • The Tomorrow People episode “Hitler’s Last Secret” (the start of the episode is on YouTube).
            • Heil Honey, I’m Home! was made in 1990. Eleven episodes were planned and eight filmed, but only one ever aired. It aired on the satellite channel Galaxy, just after an episode of Dad’s Army.
            • Timur Vermes’ satirical novel Look Who’s Back, and its film adaptation.
            • If you don’t think The Sound of Music is scary, watch this trailer.

              Show Notes
              • While Uber first came to Australia in 2012, it initially operated only in Sydney, not arriving in Melbourne until early 2013. uberX, the ride-sharing service where drivers use their own cars, didn’t launch in Australia until March 2014, so the service as a whole wasn’t well known here at the time series one was being written and recorded. Uber has since expanded to 38 Australian cities.
              • The Father Ted episode in which Father Dougal enjoys some sound effects is “Chirpy Burpy Cheap Sheep”, the second of the third and final series.
              • American sit-com Better Off Ted had two seasons on ABC between 2009 to 2010. The show starred Jay Harrington as Ted Crisp, an ordinary man trying to set a good example for his daughter while working as the head of R&D at the evil company Veridian Dynamics. His boss Veronica Palmer was played by Portia de Rossi
              • If you enjoy weird shows with “Ted” in the title, you may want to track down the three-part BBC comedy Ted and Alice from 2002, in which Dawn French meets an outcast alien looking for love…and a place to hide his spaceship.
              • Parks & Recreation was the first hit show from producer Michael Shur, now best known for Brooklyn-99 and The Good Place. Shot in mockumentary style, it’s about the Parks Department in the (fictional) town of Pawnee, Indiana. Amy Poehler stars as Leslie Knope, the Deputy Director of the department, who is positive, hard-working and ambitious.
              • The Slap is an award-winning 2008 novel by Australian author Christos Tsolkas. It follows the social fallout after a man slaps someone else’s misbehaving three-year-old son at a barbecue. It was adapted for Australian television in 2011, and again for US television in 2015, with Melissa George playing the slapped boy’s mother Rosie in both.
              • You can see Amanda perform with Impro Melbourne, The Big Hoo-Haa and The Improv Conspiracy – as well as her own improvised Eurovision-style show, Your-O-Vision! If you’re listening to this when it’s released, you can still catch it this Friday, May 17 2019, at the Improv Conspiracy Theatre. Ben McKenzie (Eddie Jones) will be a guest performer!

                • Miss Fisher’s Murder Mysteries is an ABC television series based on the Phryne Fisher murder mystery novels written by Melbourne author Kerry Greenwood. It’s fabulous success has spun off into Miss Fisher’s Modern Murder Mysteries, a sequel mini-series for Channel 7 starring Phryne’s niece in the 1960s (and featuring Night Terrace guest star Toby Truslove in a recurring role). There’s also a feature film in production, Miss Fisher and the Crypt of Tears, due out in 2019.
                • Miss Fisher and the Deadly Maze was developed by Melbourne games company Tin Man Games. Tin Man Games recently released Table of Tales: The Crooked Crown for PlayStation VR; Ben was the game’s lead narrative designer.
                • Cluedo: Miss Fisher’s Murder Mysteries Edition is one of the most reasonable of the approximately 185 different versions of Clue that have been produced. Sadly it seems out of print!
                • The full (and extensive) range of Big Finish Doctor Who audio dramas are available via bigfinish.com.
                • Radio Australia is totally still a thing, operated by the ABC.
                • Virginia Gay is best known in Australia for starring in the television dramas All Saints and Winners & Losers. Her starring role in the recent stage reimagining of Calamity Jane won her wide acclaim, and as far as this podcast is concerned, it’s surely only a matter of time until she finds international stardom.
                • Andrew McClelland is an acclaimed stand-up comedian, improviser and DJ. He recently accompanied Cher on her tour of Australia and New Zealand.
                • Vaya’s episode of Miss Fisher’s Murder Mysteries is “Unnatural Habits” from 2013, though the series doesn’t seem currently available via any streaming service. It’s readily available on DVD though.
                • Canadian time travel drama Continuum ran for four seasons from 2012 to 2015, and was available on Netflix at the time of this podcast.
                • Nigel Kneale’s The Stone Tape is a television film made for the BBC in 1972. It was released on DVD in 2001, and then again in 2013 packaged with 1992’s amazing Ghostwatch.

                • On the Terrace: Heading Back

                  In our second episode of On the Terrace, host Vaya Pashos talks with two of Night Terrace’s creators, writer Lee Zachariah and star Petra Elliott (Sue), about episode two: “Starship Australis”!

                  Anastasia and Eddie have returned to Melbourne – or have they? The stars aren’t quite right, the locals seem a bit weird and the calendar is a way off… Join Vaya, Lee and Petra for a chat as they decode the Aussie slang, Neighbours references and definitely-not-political commentary in one of the most Australian episodes of this Australian comedy series.

                  This episode of On the Terrace was recorded at Stove Monkey cafe at 191 Clarendon Street in South Melbourne.

                  • Bouncer was the name of the Labrador who was a feature of Neighbours for over 1,400 episodes between 1987 and 1993. Supposedly more popular and better paid than the human cast, Bouncer lived at four different addresses and had many families before going to live on a farm. You can read a detailed Bouncer biography at Neighbours fan site The Perfect Blend.
                  • The correct spelling is “cataclysm”.
                  • Lee is pulling your leg, of course; as well as his own show about film, The Bazura Project, his comedy writing credits include political satire for shows like The Hamster Wheel and Shaun Micallef’s Mad as Hell.
                  • The year before it was used in “Starship Australis”, a first publication of “Click Go the Shears” was discovered from 1891, making it very much in the public domain. The tune is not original, but was re-used from the American Civil War song “Ring the Bell, Watchman”. By contrast, the song “Kookaburra” – which appears in the 2006 Doctor Who episode “Fear Her” – was written by Marion Sinclair in 1932. It’s still under copyright until seventy years after her death, and in 2009 the current copyright holders sued Australian band Men at Work for plagiarising the song in their 1981 hit song “Down Under”.
                  • The origin and indeed meaning of the Australian phrase “get a dog up ya” are shrouded in mystery. One popular interpretation is that it’s an invitation to drink a beer, and the “dog” comes from the expression “a hair of the dog that bit ya”, i.e. drinking some alcohol as a hangover cure.
                  • The National Broadband Network is a government infrastructure project to provide all of Australia with a high-speed Internet connection, primarily through fibre-optic cabling. It’s…been going on for a while.
                  • Wikipedia has a whole page devoted to Australia’s big things. There are at least six Big Apples. Night Terrace co-creator Ben McKenzie grew up in Ballina, home of the Big Prawn. (The “Big Engine” in the episode is not from Earth, but is a “Big Thing” replica of the Starship Australis’ spaceship engine, built during the journey to Borealia to give the artists on board something to do.)
                  • The “cultural cringe” is the tendency of Australians to consider their own art and culture inferior to that of other countries, especially the United Kingdom. Versions of the same phenomenon are also found in New Zealand, Canada and Scotland, among other places.
                  • This Migration Edge article gives a good explanation of the “Australian Migration Zone” and the change made by the government to exclude the Australian mainland from it. It’s even more confusing and ridiculous than it sounds.
                  • Francis Greenslade is best known for his work with Shaun Micallef, including The Micallef Program, Welcher & Welcher, Micallef Tonight and Shaun Micallef’s Mad as Hell. Chris Taylor is one of the creators and stars of Australian comedy group The Chaser, who started with a satirical newspaper before branching out into television.
                  • “The Beast Below” is the second episode of season five of Doctor Who.
                  • Neighbours vs Time Travel is the 2017 Neighbours Halloween mini-series, still available on YouTube.
                  • Definitely don’t click on this link to “Bouncer’s Dream”…which actually aired on television as part of a Neighbours episode in 1990.

                    Show Notes
                    • “He’s never cruel, but often cowardly” is a reference to writer Terrance Dicks’ famous description of the Doctor from his book The Making of Doctor Who: “The Doctor believes in good and fights evil. Though often caught up in violent situations, he is a man of peace. He is never cruel or cowardly. In fact, to put it simply, the Doctor is a hero. These days there aren’t so many of them around…” (The accuracy of this description is debated, but it’s since been used by and about the Doctor in the show itself.)

                      Welcome to On the Terrace, a behind the scenes after-show for Splendid Chaps Productions‘ time travel comedy, Night Terrace! Join host Vaya Pashos of the Neighbuzz podcast as she chats with the cast and crew.

                      In this introductory episode, co-producers John Richards (head writer) and Ben McKenzie (Eddie Jones) talk about the origins of the series, including where the idea for the show came from, how and why they cast lead actor Jackie Woodburne (Neighbours’ Susan Kennedy), and how they started working together and formed the Splendid Chaps team.

                      This episode of On the Terrace was recorded at Stove Monkey cafe at 191 Clarendon Street in South Melbourne. You can listen to series one of Night Terrace on BBC Radio 4 Extra from Sunday, April 21 2019. It’s also available via nightterrace.com or in the Splendid Chaps Bandcamp store.
