TV RELOAD

On this episode I have Jamie Wiggins. Who is a Television Editor at the top of their game. 

Specialises in Reality TV. He has worked across some of the biggest shows we have ever seen on Australian screens He job is to collaborate with Executive producers and story producers to make us, as the audience fall in love with heroes, secretly like the villains but overall to entertain. 

I am so excited to talk about Reality TV editing because it is such a complicated job which often is thankless or under appreciated but also the editor often falls victim of being blamed by the former reality tv stars when they are not happy with the way they have been portrayed.

Jamie has worked with the greats across most production studios but he is currently full time at Eureka - which produced Honey Moley for Channel Seven and Amazing Race for Channel Ten but also we will soon see see a Sydney version of Selling sunsets for Amazon. 

This guy is also a bit of legend amongst the current creators of television.

Ian 'Dicko' Dickson, as we came to know him, landed in Australia with long hair, an English accent and more than a few opinions. However, with a fabulous sense of humour and oodles of charisma his positives outweighed any negatives.

He was the so-called 'nasty judge' on Australian Idol but very quickly resonated so deeply with his audience and he quickly became one of the most sort after television personalities over the last 20 years.

It is probably a good point to mention my admiration for this man, as I certainly appreciate his raw, unfiltered points of view. Especially in a world where people don’t often tell you their truth.

Today we will talk about Holey Moley and why he said yes to dressing as a pirate for the newest show on Channel Seven. We also have an honest conversation about television. Plus I will find out if Channel Seven has actually asked him to return to the upcoming reboot of Australian Idol in 2022!

In this episode, Tim Clucas unpacks the last 40 years of Australian television. He discusses where we've been, whats happening now and where we are going!

Some of Tim Clucas' career highlights include his role as the creator of the 90’s TV series Sex. In this series he challenged Aussie audiences with taboo topics and gave us the answers to questions we felt too embarrassed to ask. 

Feeling confident about 'Sex' led to his show called Money ... Another hugely successful series, which gave millions of Australians control and confidence over their finances in a world where ignorance was preyed upon by the powerful and corrupt.

It would be hard not to talk about what he did next! In 2001 he set about making TV for a new century. Bringing Big Brother to Australia for Channel 10 was groundbreaking TV. This paved the way for unscripted drama that would change the face of TV forever. 

Dancing in some pretty impressive circles, Tim allowed us to feel apart of the programs he made and reinventing ways in which Australia could feel enriched by the topics he investigated.
