Synopsis

Working from a kind of 'play within the play' premise, comedy series Serial Killers, cleverly satirises the lives of a group of TV soap writers, actors and the industry they all work for. Featuring Pauline (played by Robyn Malcolm) the permanently stressed-out screenwriter of Heart of Hearts, and her ex-partner/co-worker Alan (John Leigh), these excerpts from the 2005-screened series include the pair trying to reason with their producer (a preternaturally calm Tandi Wright) who demands the writers re-introduce a character they'd formerly killed off.

Its the trying to act school of drama. Thank goodness for the real talent amongst them. So many good lines are thrown away by actors who don't know how to get the meaning out. Most characters come alive regardless of the poor camera work and direction. Sorry but someone has got to say it.
