Re: I'm all heart Jim!
It must be about events that took place in the 70's....
Well, I guess it's official.....
The Australian film industry has now run completely out of plot ideas....
They've scraped past the bottom of the barrel, and are now bringing up the dirt underneath the barrel....

Jim, making a film about such a momentous and world changing time as Packer's World Series Cricket venture is an attempt to re-contextualise very important world historical events
Would you suggest we stop making films about WWII or The Beatles, or Jesus, as they are old hat?

No, but nor would I suggest a need to immortalize in celluloid the behind the scenes drama of the 1956 Long Island Knitting Championship, which is pretty much where I'd put this cricket thingy on the "momentous and world changing" meter....Would you suggest we stop making films about WWII or The Beatles, or Jesus, as they are old hat?

See Jim, that's exactly why you need to watch this!
Your US centric views of world events have left you bereft of information on some of the world's greatest history and beauty!

A massive TV audience of 2.09 million viewers tuned into the second part of the Channel Nine cricket drama Howzat! last night.
The ratings win confirms the dramatisation of Kerry Packer's war with the cricket establshment to create World Series Cricket is TV's biggest local drama of 2012.
The broadcast of part two also matched the ratings for the first instalment - screened last Sunday night to an audience of 2.09 million - viewer for viewer.
Holding an audience like that week to week is rare, particularly for multi-part miniseries. Most programs show even slight decline from week one to week two to account for parts of the audience who sample and move on.
There is little doubt the double win was fuelled by almost universally positive word of mouth for Howzat, and nostalgic affection for the era in which it was set.
Coupled with strong numbers for 60 Minutes and Nine's rejuvenated Big Brother franchise, it delivered the former ratings titan a massive slice of the Sunday night audience.
Last night's 60 Minutes program, which featured interviews with British journalist Samantha "10 out of 10 men fancy me" Brick and legendary BBC broadcaster Sir David Attenborough, drew 1.66 million.
The result is one of 60's best performances this year, and both interviews generated enormous traffic on Twitter for the #60mins hashtag.
Big Brother's first live eviction, in which Queensland singer Charne White was removed from the house, drew an audience of 1.25 million.
Those numbers are excellent, highlighting both the impact Big Brother is having on Nine's schedule, and the fact that Ten has made a huge tactical error in allowing one of their historic franchises to be taken by another network. (The original Big Brother screened on Ten.)
