Gloss: The 1980s TV legend revisited…

Interview – 2013

Gloss was a popular soap opera that screened from 1987 to 1990. It pitted a respectable moneyed family against a new generation of rich yuppies. Set in the glamorous world of a fashion magazine, Gloss epitomised the high life and big spending culture of the 80s, while also showcasing the fashion du jour: shoulder pads and big hair.

The interviews are with Gloss producer/creator Janice Finn, writer James Griffin, director Chris Bailey, and actors Simon Prast, Peter Elliott, Ilona Rodgers, Lisa Chappell and Craig Parker.
