• On dvd?!

  Hi, just wanted to ask if someone knew if "Murder Call" (Australian 1997-1999) is going to be released on dvd. Or maybe it already is but couldn't find it via internet... Thanks!

  Another Australian Show that didn't last long. hide « show »

  Well here is another show that didn't last to long on Australian television.
  I was something different but there were a lot of Aussie cop shows on TV at the time.
  The characters were cool but the storylines are what kept you watching.
  I thought this show was a bit more dark and not scared to be a bit full on and grouse, not to say that it was really bad (it was quite boring to things on TV today) but compared to other cop shows on at the time it went that extra bit further.

  Do you agree?

  A show that wasn't given much of a chance. hide « show »

  Maybe I’m one of the only ones, but I found the Australian cop show Murder Call an intriguing one to watch. Although Murder Call had a small cast, it often had great scripts and captivating “who done its”. The show, which stared Peter Mochrie as Detective Steve Hayden and Lucy Bell as Tessa Vance, ran for three seasons – from 1997 to 1999 (although some of its last episodes were shown in 2000).
  
  Homicide detectives, Steve and Tessa solved crimes which were all out of the ordinary. Their strategies in solving these crimes were on a contrary, as Steve was a by-the-book cop, whilst Tessa had an unusual method, using her intuition to solve the crimes (which got her results).
  
  Like many shows on TV, the chemistry between the two main characters in Steve and Tessa was great to watch. And also like many other TV shows, the pair never got together in a romantic sort of way. Although, in the very first episode, “Ashes to Ashes”, it was made obvious that the pair cared about each other, when they were locked in a cool room together. Thinking that they were going to die, Steve and Tessa huddled together in an attempt to stay warm. Of course, in the end, they were fine. And their nosy colleague, Constable Dee Suzeraine (played by Jennifer Kent) wanted to know all about their ‘experience’. “Come on, Steve. We're talking last moments on the planet here. How'd the two of you keep warm?”
  
  It was sad to see an interesting show get axed, and while it didn’t have many fans, Murder Call continues to be a favourite of mine.
