KILLING TIME DEBRIEF

EPISODE GUIDE FROM TV1 BLOG

It only took a year of legal wrangling but tonight we finally got to meet the man over whom all the fuss has been made. Andrew Fraser. High-flying lawyer to the low-rent criminal elite of Melbourne. And inmate serving 7 years in prison. "Somebody screwed you good and proper", he's told when he enters maximum security for the first time. The only question is, who screwed him? The career crims he represented? The police he took pleasure in frustrating at every turn? His well-to-do family or his even more well-to-do colleagues? Or was it himself? I guess we'll find out soon.



We first meet Fraser in prison looking back at his life and likely asking himself the same question. He's a broken man at the pointy end of a riches-to-rags story. David Wenham is almost unrecognisable in these scenes. He's a million miles (and a six-pack) away from Dilios of 300, which is the last time I caught him (surely CGI was used in either that one or this one).

He's also a million miles from 1985, which is where Fraser's rise (and fall) begins. The Andrew Fraser of 1985 is, as he describes himself, "a silver tongue with a silver spoon": cocky, wealthy, sexy (for 1985) and is really good at what he does. Which is to defend criminals. And not just any criminals but some of the most infamous criminals in the country's history, including crime boss Lewis Moran and the drug dealer and "psycho dressed as a clown" (great line), Dennis Allen. We all understand that everyone needs representation but Fraser takes pleasure from the task. He enjoys defending them and sticking it to the cops any chance he gets. It's like a calling for Fraser. Kath Pettingill, Dennis's mother, tells him when they first put him on retainer: "We want more than your f#*!ng card Mr Fraser. We want you. Body and soul." And body and soul is what he (unfortunately) gives them.

But his clients freak his family out and his colleagues as well. "The partners and I are are a little edgy by the low-rent clientele cluttering the place." They also freaked me out. Particularly Richard Cawthorne's Dennis Allen. Cawthorne's gripping performance has to be considered one of the best ever to hit our small screens. I'd say his psychopathic dealer/killer is up there with John Jarratt's Mick Taylor in Wolf Creek and even David Wenham's-own Brett Sprague in The Boys. He's one of the scariest characters in Australian celluloid. He puts the killing into "Killing Time".

Allen is a time bomb that you know will go off at some point or another. You just hope that Fraser's not around when he does. Which is the thing. We should hate Fraser – he's sleazy and arrogant and he's helping some of the worst criminals escape justice. But we can't help but root for him (at least a little bit). We're fearful for him when he has to advise the Iron Bloods or stand up to Dennis (or, frankly, any time he talks to Dennis). We feel his anger when he's told he's not ready for partnership. We're secretly pleased when he succeeds in convincing others to see things his way. We're shouting at the screen telling him not to take the cocaine from Manny the Mutt as a reward for another "not guilty" verdict, knowing full well that he will and in so doing will seal his fate. I think it's a testament to David Wenham's skills that he can make such an unlikeable guy on paper seem worthy of our empathy. I'm happy for him to take me along for the ride downhill.



The other highlights for me from these two episodes were:

-Diana Glenn's Denise Shanks – she's been perfectly cast as the tough-as-nuts door b*tch who succumbs to Fraser's "charms". I loved her line to Fraser when he tells her on their walk in the park that "this is romantic": "Well it was until you mentioned it."

-The barrel scene. What is it with Australian psychopaths and barrels? The drowning scene was similarly intense.

- Dennis's unusual attempts to seek adjournments of his cases: a bomb in the courtroom and a shot to the leg. I'd say he thinks outside the box but that would assume he's thinking.

- I'm a sucker for any court action where the lawyer trips up a witness (even when you know it's grossly unfair).

- The music: I haven't heard The Models, "I Hear Motion" for yonks. Come to think of it I haven't heard any of The Models stuff for ages. Charlie Chan's original score is spot on too.

- The blasts from the past: Terry Norris (Fraser's father) from Cop Shop and Homicide, Max Fairchild (in the background in prison) from Mad Max 1 and 2, Colin Friels as Lewis Moran (always good to see him) and Heather Mitchell (the judge) who I remember fondly from that great Aussie film Proof.

- The details: Fraser's brick cordless phone and Dennis's leather(!) phone, the wood panelling, Bankcard!, the old paper cash, and Fraser's tie protector. Smooth.

- And the disclaimer at the end – it was so long it could have been written by Fraser himself. It was definitely not your usual "Any similarity to any person living or dead is merely coincidental" disclaimer, but given the subject matter and the legal controversy, it's not surprising.

From here





Everyone and their stand-over man had an opinion on the criminal lawyer-turned-criminal Andrew Fraser (David Wenham) in tonight's absorbing episode of Killing Time. And why not. He's a fascinating subject. Here's a guy who comes from solid well-to-do stock, taking fatherly advice from a guy who doesn't think twice about shooting a cocky drunk. He's a successful criminal lawyer from a family of lawyers but believes "he never quite fitted the Fraser family profile".

"Now I'm no head doctor, but I reckon you've got a chronic fear of failure."

Lewis (Colin Friels) might be on to something. Fraser does remind me of Lieutenant Caffey (Tom Cruise) in A Few Good Men, a man who was haunted by a ghost of a dead lawyer. Fraser's obviously a driven man but he does seem to be trying a little too hard to prove something to his family and himself.

Denise (Diana Glenn) had Fraser's number too:
"Middle class upbringing. Loves to play the working class hero fighting for the underdog, but in fact went to a private school where you spent a lot of time outside the school headmaster's office because you were the disruptive element, craved attention and would do anything for an audience. ... You hate authority and yet you are desperate to be accepted by the very same authority. In conclusion Mister Fraser I would say that you have a chip on your shoulder."

The police would definitely agree with that assessment after the hammering they got from Fraser in Lewis's trial over the pub shooting. Even Denise's secretary had his measure: "Loverboy lawyer on line 3." Was that extension 3 or his third line of coke? Both I suspect.

Dennis Allen (Richard Cawthorne) is also someone who knows a thing or too about family pressures. The paranoid drug-dealer, killer and fish tank-enthusiast, met his end tonight, managing to find one final way to evade justice. It was a fitting end though: with his lawyer by his side instead of his family. He'll probably still be taking potshots at the tower from wherever it is he ended up. Like Fraser, Dennis's family obviously made him what he was too. Too bad his family was Kath Pettingill (played by the fantastic Kris McQuade, another Homicide alumnist who you might also recognise from Packed To The Rafters and Strictly Ballroom). I can't say I'm sad to see Dennis go but I will be sad to see Richard Cawthorne go. He owned the first three episodes of this series. I hope you've started filling out your Logie forms already.

Fraser was also in woo-mode tonight (or was that woohoo-mode, given his performance at the dinner party). Denise is the strong, clear-headed, astute presence Andrew needs in his life. She's good for him. But it's painful to watch knowing that Fraser's personality and/or his addiction get the better of him eventually.

I'm also fascinated by Fraser's relationship with Lewis Moran. He's a pretty crazy father figure/mentor to have. Admittedly though he does have some pretty good advice to give Fraser (lay off the coke, don't trust your friends in prison). But still. Psychopath. Tonight's lesson: don't call Lewis Moran a "soft c%#k".

I look forward to seeing the missing pieces in the Fraser and Moran show filled in next week.

Last week we saw the demise of local drug kingpin and sociopath Dennis Allen (Richard Cawthorne). For our "hero" Andrew Fraser (David Wenham) this meant losing one of his best clients. Well, one of his best-paying clients at least.

Dennis's death could have been a blessing in disguise for Fraser. His connection to the Pettingill clan could have ended there and then and who knows what might have become of his practice (tax law?). But who are we kidding. We all know that there was no way Fraser was going to let go of this gravy train. Unfortunately for Fraser (and the rest of Melbourne) the new driver of this gravy train was Dennis's brother Victor (played by Malcolm Kennard in another barnstorming performance in a series chock-full of them).

Victor clearly has a chip on his shoulder, but who could blame him when your brother was Dennis Allen. And your mother was Kath Pettingill (Kris McQuade). Victor was clearly never a fan of our Frase, but proving that he might not be as dumb as he looks he's convinced to give him one more chance by his mum (mums know best!). Which turns out to be a pretty wise move, as Fraser manages to get Victor off a new set of charges (while making a mockery of the police yet again).

But who could have guessed where all this would lead for Victor and Fraser. While Dennis's vice and vocation was drugs, Victor's is violence and he quickly "diversifies" the family business into armed robbery. Side note: it's a sad day when you're lectured to (and rightly so I suppose) by Victor Peirce for your drug habit. Wake-up call Frase?

"If they want a war, we'll give them a f*#king war."

Victor's stick-up business starts off successfully but it was only a matter of time before the law would catch-up with him and his "Flemington Crew" ("I don't even f*#king live in Flemington"). The fallout from the shooting of Graeme Jensen (Fletcher Humphrys) is part of Australian criminal history but it was shocking to witness it up close and personal like we did tonight. It will be interesting to see it from Fraser's perspective as the fallout continues over the coming weeks.

As for Fraser, this week he finally won the heart of Denise (Diana Glenn). The specials of the day are obviously no match for this man's charisma (the scene was actually quite sweet). But clearly, if he can convince a jury with a pair of sarcastic sock puppets, he can convince anyone of anything. By the way, who comes home and declares "Fraser's home!"? Andrew Fraser, that's who. See you next week Frase.




From here




This week our Frase finds himself embroiled right smack dab in the middle of one of the ugliest periods in Australian criminal history. And there's no place Fraser would rather be.

"There's a bloody war out there and the casualties are all my clients."

Well, not all of them - I don't think the two innocent Victorian constables who were shot down in cold bloody murder were on Fraser's roster of clients, but we get the point. Fraser has been preparing for this fight all his life and nobody could stop him from seeing this one through, not his family, the partners in his firm, his mentor Lewis Moran (Colin Friels), his fiance/now wife Denise (Diana Glenn), or her hairdresser.

For Fraser it's a career-defining moment (ka-ching, ka-ching!). But it's more than that for him. For Fraser it's personal. This is about sticking it to the man - to the coppers he believes are abusing their powers to oppress the "underclass". He's Che Gueverra with an awesome Eighties leather jacket.

And I believe him when he says he's fighting for the underdog. It's a very Australian sentiment. But I think that his zeal (and not his legal duties as he would claim) blinds him to the reality of what happened in Walsh St. It also blinds him to the risks that come with identifying with his clients too much.

"What did you just call me?"

Snowy. Nice nickname, although he looks more like a Tintin to me. But with it the police finally got their first (very small) victory against Fraser. They made him squirm. And war has now officially been declared against Fraser. The fight is about to become even more personal for Fraser.

Snowy. Nice nickname, although he looks more like a Tintin to me. But with it the police finally got their first (very small) victory against Fraser. They made him squirm. And war has now officially been declared against Fraser. The fight is about to become even more personal for Fraser.

"You bloody genius Frasier. I'll tell ya what. You'd want to be f#@king right."

But for all of Fraser's faults, he is a damn good lawyer. The move to have Victor hand himself in was, as Victor acknowledged, genius. Pity the game was fixed for them, but then I wonder whether a little part of Fraser knew that it was and this was his way of achieving some kind of justice, or a way to be rid of him. Yeah, probably not.

Victor's now in a tight spot and the weak links obviously need to be dealt with. The (attempted) hit on Wendy (Kate Jenkinson) was cold. And I'm sure the ever-suffering Jason (Reef Ireland) will be relieved to be in witness protection. It's a testament to the show that I find myself rooting for different characters at different points in spite of myself. I do kinda hope they both end up safe.

I think this was the best episode yet of the series and it was full of great lines, great scenes and great performances. My personal highlights:

- "I'll come back when you learn to be more f%*king civilised." - Kath (Kris McQuade), as classy as ever.

- Kate Jenkinson's performance as Wendy Pierce has been pitch-perfect and as intense (if not more so) as any of the guys in the cast.

- I thought the juxtaposing of Fraser and Denise's wedding photos with the killing of Gary Abdullah was brilliant, particularly the use of music. It reminded me of the fantastic opera chase scene in Quantum of Solace. I'm a sucker for visual and musical irony.

- Lewis Moran. I'm finding I can't help but like him. I can't believe he's hanging out with Fraser and Denise at their house!

- "Tell that idiot over there with the camera that my right side's my best." - Fraser getting the last word in as always.

- Frase's leather jacket. Beats the wig and silks.

- And another knockout performance by Mr Wenham this week. He really has captured the passion of this guy and his voice (and I mean that figuratively and literally).

Not guilty. Who would have believed it? Well most of us now since we've spent 6 hours thus far with Andrew Fraser. But at the time, the verdict would have come as a shock to most Australians and questions still linger over whether the four defendants, Victor Peirce, Trevor Pettingill, Anthony Leigh Farrell and Peter David McEvoy, were guilty or not.

"What have they got except for Wendy Pierce. Not a knob of nannygoat poop."

The cops were really on a hiding to nothing. There were no witnesses to the shooting, linking the shotgun to the crime and the defendants was an uphill battle, and their case relied on the testimony of Wendy Pierce and Jason Ryan. It's no wonder the DPP dropped the case. But given the stakes and the emotion involved it was also no wonder that the police saw the prosecution through to the end. They owed it to their fallen brothers. Arguably they could have made the charges stick if they'd managed to convince Wendy to stick to her story. But undoubtedly they were dealt a bad hand. Whether they played it badly or not is another question. Plus they had to contend with Fraser on the opposite side of the table.

"It's not fair, he's just doing his job."

Sure, even the bad guys deserve a lawyer, even a good lawyer like Fraser. But does he have to enjoy it so much? And what about justice? "It comes down to evidence and witnesses and my job is to discredit them." Even, he claims, when they're telling the truth. Could you blame people for believing he had crossed a line?

For Fraser, he got what he always wanted. The big case. The limelight. And another chance to stick the boot up the coppers he seems to loathe so much. But at what cost? He has a baby on its way and Denise has to deal with threatening phone calls ("something about defending scum, a bullet and your head"). The addiction is hitting its stride and starting to take its toll on his personal life. Plus he's now public enemy number one with every cop in the country and we know where that ends up taking him.

"What about congratulating me? I fertlised the egg."

Oh Fraser, does it always have to be about you? He clearly still feels he has something to prove. Why, I don't know. I suppose it might all go back to mummy, but most of us would be pretty satisfied with a successful practice, a nice home and a beautiful wife. I would hope that we see some self-reflection by the end of the series (only four more episodes to get your act together Frase).

"Shes a liar and a slut."

Kath ain't winning mother-in-law of the year. But then Wendy probably won't be winning daughter-in-law of the year either. She did end up coming through for Victor and the rest of the clan in the end though. Perhaps out of love. Perhaps out of anger at Schneider (Peter Houghton) and the police. Screw justice though. (Literally, in her case, but who am I to judge?) Clever move in the end by Victor at the behest of Fraser. It's amazing how powerful three words ("I love you") can be.

Tonight's highlights for me:

- My favourite scene was when the Chief Inspector (Robert Morgan) sat Team A (Detective Inspector Patterson, Ian Bliss) and Team B (Detective Schnedier) down to get them to settle their differences. I could understand both their positions. But it was up to the Chief to remind them who their common enemy was. Reminded me of those scenes in Law & Order: SVU when Cragan lays down the law.

- "Never dignify a mug. And always compound a felony." – another glittering gem of advice from Lewis Moran (Colin Friels). It's a pity Fraser takes that one to heart.

- It was sad to see Fraser claiming an early victory in prison at the end. The fact that he had to tell his son to pass on the message to Denise spoke volumes.

- "The Fraser men need a loving but firm hand. They're barely out of childhood themselves." Too true it seems.

-The music as usual was top notch. Nice start with the classic Aussie punk song "Stranded" by The Saints. And I'm pretty sure that was "The Sharp" I heard too ("Ego Explosion"?). Remember The Sharp? The Aussie trio who had the frontman going crazy with the big double-bass? Wow, it's been a LONG time since I've heard them. If you need a reminder of who I'm talking about take a tip down memory lane here.

- Nice to see Brett Climo again as David Ross QC. He's another A Country Practice alumnist (if you count David Wenham's brief roles).

- And we had another Cop Shop star on tonight – Aussie TV legend John Orcsik as the Supreme Court Judge. Given the number of Cop Shop actors turning up I'll be keeping my eyes peeled for Paula Duncan and Terry Bonner to make appearances in next week's episodes. That's right episodes plural. It's a double-header next week! See you then!



From here




It was a long hard road to the top for Andrew Fraser (David Wenham) but it was a pretty quick slide to the bottom. At least the view (of Perth) was nice while he was there. This week we saw Andrew finally achieve the lofty heights of his profession: a $20,000 a week retainer for Australia’s highest profile businessman and his name in big bold letters on the stationery. But we knew it wasn’t going to last. However, I didn’t think it would be over so quickly.

“You only get one Alan Bond.”

Walsh St paid off for Andrew big-time, landing him the biggest account of his life – Alan Bond (played by the Blue Heeler himself, John Wood). I remember reading about the trials of Alan Bond at the time and witnessing the pitiful performance of a man the country had lionised for a decade. It’s great to get some insight into what was really going on behind the scenes. A lot of blow apparently. And some pretty bad acting by Bondy (John Woods’s acting on the other hand was top notch as usual).

It was funny though to watch Fraser reach the top floor of Bond Corp (the literal height of his career) only to find himself a little out of his element (and made to feel it).

Possibly sensing that the party wasn’t going to last forever, he threw himself into it (the partying that is). And boy did he, with wild abandon and with no concern for his family or his career. They both came a sad second and third to his mistress (the coke) and it was sad to see how the addiction dragged him down. Bringing his mate Tim Watson-Munro (Robert Taylor) over didn’t help. He would probably have been a better pool-cleaner than he was a psychologist (or a friend). The fact that Bondy ended up costing Fraser and his firm more than it brought in was possibly poetic justice for being star struck in the first place.

The spiral down from there though was not pretty. The court performances, the fights with the partners (those “born-to-rule Januses”), the drugs at his kid’s party, and the other extra-curricular antics, all seemed inevitable consequences of the choices he had made. How Denise put up with it for so long I can’t fathom. Well I can, obviously she loved him. And we know she sticks with him all the way to ROCK bottom, which clearly (and amazingly) we have yet to reach.

“You’re the most decent man I’ve ever met.”

Says a lot about Moran and even more about Fraser. It’s a complex relationship. Moran was a client, a mate, a mentor and a father figure to Fraser. I thought it was bizarre to see Fraser introduce his son to Moran while discussing “business” with Tony Della Tranta (Robert Rabiah). But that was them and there was clearly an affinity and affection between the two of them. Plus it was Moran who always had the best advice for Fraser, including tonight’s:

“Don’t bite the hand that can strangle you.”

If only Fraser had taken his advice. But then if it wasn’t for Moran I don’t think Fraser would have ended up on Strawhorn’s (Shane Conner) radar in the first place. Strawhorn obviously represents everything Fraser hates about the police. And clearly their journey together has only just begun. It will be fascinating to see how it all plays out next week (reminder: the final two episodes are playing back-to back next Wednesday!).

Other highlights from tonight’s double-header:

- Tim’s first suggestion to Fraser on how to keep Alan Bond out of court: “Maybe you should shoot him in the leg.” Ah, there’s only one Dennis Allen.

- “So, Andrew, what’s it to be. Business or bullsh!t?”. They went with the third option: the bullsh!t business.

- “You’re the only man I ever met Macca who could take on the entire Victorian police force and not face himself.” Guilty as charged your honour.

- I thought there was some great imagery in the first episode tonight, in particular Fraser’s first meeting with Bondy (if Fraser had an idea of heaven in his head, I think that would have been it). The trips up and down the lift in Perth were a perfect metaphor too for where Fraser was in his life.

- Fraser’s hair this week seemed to mirror his ego (pretty puffed up).

- I think the history of the 80s and 90s could be told through the phones we used. Another couple of beauties this week: a Telecom landline (my grandmother still actually uses one of these!) and Fraser managed to upgrade his mobile plan to a pretty bulky fliphone with extra large antennae (no sub-text there …).

- The music rocked again too (literally): Rose Tattoo (“Bad Boys of Love”), Hunters and Collectors (“Talking to a Stranger”) and I’m sure that was The Sharp again with a couple of ditties. I have to say I love the piece from Charlie Chan that closes the show at the end of each episode. It’s reminiscent of the work of the great Italian-American jazz composer Vince Guaraldi (who is famous for his Charlie Brown scores). I’ll have to find out its name before our last episodes next week!

No they would definitely not be. But in other ways, like say Fraser's sense of self-righteousness and desire to be on centre-stage, things are probably the same as they ever were. For the last seven weeks we've watched Andrew Fraser (David Wenham) rise from first-rate but small-time lawyer to legal "superstar" at the centre of some of Australia's most notorious criminal cases. Tonight, however, it was time to witness the pointy-end of Fraser's rise-and-fall. From criminal lawyer to "criminal" lawyer. In the end it was his addiction which sold him up the river. A thousand-dollar-a-day habit will do that.

The impact of that habit on his life was actually quite distressing to watch, particularly its effect on his wife Denise (Diana Glenn). (It's impact on David Wenham's face and his speech was also distressing. For those fans who need reminding of David's real-life, still-intact good looks, quick, click on Google Image search).

Fraser has set up his own legal practice but the glory days are over with only low-paying cases coming to him. His marriage is in tatters and all he seeks is the next coke high. Detective Strawhorn is intent on bringing Fraser to justice. When an illicit conversation between Fraser and a drug associate is recorded, Fraser's world comes crashing down. Fraser's been caught red handed using and giving advice on an importation of cocaine. He believes he'll get a 6 month suspended sentence but the judge hits him with 7 years in maximum security. *

While Fraser's arrest and conviction marked the official rock-bottom for Fraser, surely the "threesome" marked the rock-bottom of his relationship with his wife. I'll leave the rock-bottom puns to one-side, and simply comment that it does seem to be possible to make David Wenham appear unsexy. “You’re on speakerphone darling so you just join in whenever you like.” (Again, fans, Google Image search.) Knowing now what Denise had to put up with it makes her commitment to him through his trial, appeal and his imprisonment seem all the more courageous. And surely no one would begrudge her a desire to put some distance between herself and that past.

"Jesus my whole life you’re on my back about defending criminals. Now that I’m helping send a murderer down you’re acting like I killed someone myself.”

Having lost his appeal and facing the prospect of serving out his full seven-year sentence in the maximum security unit of Port Phillip Prison, Fraser finally found his escape clause in the form of serial killer, Peter Dupas (John Brumpton). It was a risky move to become "prison snitch" but for someone like Fraser it was obviously worth the risk in order to re-start his life. It was also the "right thing to do" (leaving aside any questions about the financial incentive). It worked too but it also had its cost on his and his family's personal safety. But he was finally back home. Unfortunately not his actual home, but his spiritual one at least – the legal stage. This time, performing a self-described pantomime as part of his testimony against Dupas (despite the protestations from his mother, his sister and his wife).

Fraser's pantomime was shocking not only because of its content but also because of the obvious glee(?) with which he presented it. Fraser was back making his mark on the legal world.



Interestingly, this particular story has yet to be completely played out. As was noted in the end-credits, Peter Dupas's conviction was overturned on appeal. At the time of filming the re-trial had not been heard. It has since been heard and Dupas was again convicted of the murder of Mersina Halvagis. However, Dupas has been trying to appeal this new conviction. He had failed to meet a number of deadlines to lodge his appeal papers or secure Legal Aid funding (who have rejected his applications for funding), so the Court of Appeal in Victoria had given him until today to find someone who will represent him "pro bono" (for free). And according toreports, he succeeded in finding someone to represent him and has been granted more time to appeal. Remember too that it is only when this process has been finalised that Fraser will find out whether he will receive a share of the $1 million reward.



Regardless of the outcome of this case, it is clear that we have not heard the last of Andrew Fraser. In fact, he has now placed himself smack-dab-in-the-middle of another infamous Australian crime. This time the murder of young British backpacker, Peter Falconio. Fraser has made controversial claims on behalf of the man convicted of the murder, Bradley Murdoch. The claims were the subject of an episode of Channel Seven's Sunday Night program earlier this year. If you're interested, the ABC's Media Watch program fills in the details here.

Whether Fraser has started his climb back from rock-bottom is probably dependent upon whether you share his particular sense of justice. Suffice to say he doesn't look like he's going away any time soon. Who knows, he may end up providing enough fodder for a sequel to Killing Time in another few years.



In the meantime, if you want to know more about Andrew Fraser, his journey and where he's going now, this interview with Jack Marx in The Monthly is a good place to start. Fraser himself has written three books, Court In The Middle (*boom boom*), Lunatic Soup and Snouts In The Trough, the first two of which form the basis of this series.

A few final highlights and postscripts:

- Fraser in a beat-up Honda Accord. Oh how the mighty Porsche driver has fallen.

- Rod Mullinar as the judge sentencing Fraser (you'd recognise that voice anywhere) Another Aussie legend and another Homicide veteran (does that complete our set?). Interestingly Rod Mullinar recently played the judge in Joanne Lees: Murder in the Outback. Spooky.

- The intervention. That didn't go as well as one might have hoped.

- Was that Fraser playing chess with one of the heavies that had been threatening him since day one in prison?

- And finally, wondering what happened to Tim Watson-Munro? This interview on the ABC from 2004 is informative.
