Serial Killers - Full Series
Television (Full Length Episodes) – 2004
This seven-part comedy involves a group of soap opera writers, actors and the network they have to answer to. Stressed scriptwriter Pauline (Robyn Malcolm) deals with her ex and the rest of her unruly writing team — plus the demands of her patronising producer (Tandi Wright). En route, the team variously deal with pregnancy and scriptwriting software (episode two), a cast member's urge to appear more manly (episode three), orders to resurrect a dead character (episode four), product placement (episode five), a Māori actor wanting more creative input (episode six) and deciding which actor to fire (episode seven).
And just for the record — do you make a point of hitting every critic who writes a bad review?– Sally (Tandi Wright) to Pauline (Robyn Malcolm) after a stoush in episode one
