19
00:00:56,360 --> 00:00:58,840
Speaker 3: ten minutes when I booked time in, so on Wednesday

20
00:00:58,880 --> 00:01:02,920

22
00:01:05,120 --> 00:01:07,440
Speaker 3: they knock on my door, and you know, ask if

00:01:07,440 --> 00:01:09,880
Speaker 3: I'm all right, So I'm doing very well.

24
00:01:09,959 --> 00:01:11,520
Speaker 1: It's like being in Whitworth or something.

25
00:01:12,920 --> 00:01:14,640
Speaker 3: It's a little more it's a little more delubrious.

26
00:01:15,560 --> 00:01:18,120
Speaker 2: Well, tell us about what's happened to Jane. How was

27
00:01:18,200 --> 00:01:20,000
Speaker 2: she in the last twenty years.

28
00:01:20,760 --> 00:01:23,319
Speaker 3: Well, she's given up working for the police force. I

29
00:01:23,319 --> 00:01:26,320
Speaker 3: think she's suffered panic attacks a nightmare, so she's given

30
00:01:26,360 --> 00:01:29,679
Speaker 3: that up. And she's a professor at a university. She's

31
00:01:29,720 --> 00:01:32,080
Speaker 3: got a lovely partner who makes guitars, and she's got

32
00:01:32,080 --> 00:01:34,680
Speaker 3: a step daughter, and she lives in a bayside suburban

33
00:01:34,720 --> 00:01:38,400
Speaker 3: Melbourne and life's pretty good until something happens that forces

34
00:01:38,400 --> 00:01:43,279
Speaker 3: her back onto the do the Killer. Something devastating happens

35
00:01:43,280 --> 00:01:47,640
Speaker 3: to her in the opening episode.

36
00:01:46,400 --> 00:01:49,080
Speaker 4: And as a professor, do you wear glasses and percha

37
00:01:49,120 --> 00:01:51,400
Speaker 4: them on your nose and look over the top of them, because.

38
00:01:51,160 --> 00:01:54,960
Speaker 3: That's what she's always worn, glasses. So yes, the glasses

39
00:01:54,960 --> 00:01:57,240
Speaker 3: are back, as are the Hugo Boss suits and the

40
00:01:57,280 --> 00:02:01,559
Speaker 3: Amani And it's very nice. Karla Van Patty, how.

41
00:02:01,400 --> 00:02:05,000
Speaker 2: Did you personally feel about taking on the role again,

42
00:02:05,080 --> 00:02:06,800
Speaker 2: Was it like a comfortable pair of shoes.

43
00:02:07,800 --> 00:02:11,919
Speaker 3: Well, they're not very comfort because they are very fancy. No,

44
00:02:12,080 --> 00:02:14,560
Speaker 3: it was actually. Look, I loved it. I've always loved

45
00:02:14,560 --> 00:02:17,720
Speaker 3: this character because she was strong and complex and flawed,

46
00:02:17,760 --> 00:02:20,080
Speaker 3: and she was the first forensic psychiatrist ever portrayed on

47
00:02:20,080 --> 00:02:22,920
Speaker 3: television anywhere in the world. Really was ahead of his time.

48
00:02:23,040 --> 00:02:24,919
Speaker 3: So to be able to step back into the shoes

49
00:02:24,919 --> 00:02:26,840
Speaker 3: of that character as an older woman, it was a

50
00:02:26,840 --> 00:02:27,560
Speaker 3: gift really.

51
00:02:28,560 --> 00:02:31,560
Speaker 2: So you're also an executive producer on this, So do

52
00:02:31,639 --> 00:02:34,200
Speaker 2: you get to script be pashing off scenes for yourself?

53
00:02:36,760 --> 00:02:39,720
Speaker 3: Well, yes, no, no, there's none of that. Oh actually

54
00:02:39,720 --> 00:02:40,000
Speaker 3: there was.

55
00:02:40,919 --> 00:02:42,280
Speaker 1: Here we go, Yeah, this is.

56
00:02:43,760 --> 00:02:45,480
Speaker 3: No, but I'm very I was very involved in the

57
00:02:45,480 --> 00:02:48,079
Speaker 3: scripting process and the casting obviously, and the edits and

58
00:02:48,160 --> 00:02:49,600
Speaker 3: stuff like that. It was great to be part of

59
00:02:49,600 --> 00:02:52,160
Speaker 3: a team creating something like this because we had a

60
00:02:52,200 --> 00:02:55,000
Speaker 3: really good budget on this show and it shows, I

61
00:02:55,040 --> 00:02:57,919
Speaker 3: mean on screen that Melbourne just looks a million dollars.

62
00:02:57,919 --> 00:02:59,400
Speaker 3: It could be New York. It looks amazing.

63
00:02:59,400 --> 00:03:01,160
Speaker 4: Because how much does it cost to make a show

64
00:03:01,280 --> 00:03:01,960
Speaker 4: like Halifax.

65
00:03:02,360 --> 00:03:03,800
Speaker 3: I'm not allowed to tell you, but this is a

66
00:03:03,919 --> 00:03:06,000
Speaker 3: very give me a for an Australian.

67
00:03:06,280 --> 00:03:09,400
Speaker 4: What about a ballparky, you know, more than a dollar,

68
00:03:09,760 --> 00:03:10,880
Speaker 4: be more than a mill.

69
00:03:11,160 --> 00:03:11,960
Speaker 3: Quite a few meals.

70
00:03:12,000 --> 00:03:16,840
Speaker 2: Wow, this show has a big part in your life too,

71
00:03:16,880 --> 00:03:18,960
Speaker 2: because this is originally where you met your husband.

72
00:03:19,800 --> 00:03:22,760
Speaker 3: That is absolutely actually I was. I met him on

73
00:03:22,800 --> 00:03:26,240
Speaker 3: the set of Major Jabinski's show dog Woman, and we

74
00:03:26,520 --> 00:03:28,720
Speaker 3: kind of shook hands and he looked away and I

75
00:03:28,720 --> 00:03:30,160
Speaker 3: went on, he's really kid, and then we didn't see

76
00:03:30,160 --> 00:03:32,520
Speaker 3: each other again until he was a production designer on

77
00:03:32,520 --> 00:03:35,160
Speaker 3: Halifax and I pursued him doggedly.

78
00:03:35,920 --> 00:03:39,320
Speaker 1: I shook more than hands second time around. Yeah, well,

79
00:03:39,360 --> 00:03:40,480
