1
00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:04,000
Speaker 1: Ghosts Australia premieres this Sunday night on Channel ten and

2
00:00:04,080 --> 00:00:07,720
Speaker 1: Paramount Plus. It is a new local adaptation of a

3
00:00:07,760 --> 00:00:11,400
Speaker 1: show which is already critically acclaimed in the UK and

4
00:00:11,480 --> 00:00:14,120
Speaker 1: the US, and our stars are very Ownmandy Mcalinny and

5
00:00:14,160 --> 00:00:16,040
Speaker 1: she's with us now, Good morning, morning.

6
00:00:15,880 --> 00:00:18,440
Speaker 2: Money, good money.

7
00:00:17,920 --> 00:00:21,560
Speaker 1: Did I get all that right? It is the Australian

8
00:00:21,640 --> 00:00:25,960
Speaker 1: version of a show that has proved very popular. Is

9
00:00:26,000 --> 00:00:29,160
Speaker 1: the Is the premise going to be the same?

10
00:00:30,560 --> 00:00:33,240
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean we haven't changed any of the things

11
00:00:33,280 --> 00:00:36,640
Speaker 2: that really really work, yeah, which is basically, you know,

12
00:00:36,720 --> 00:00:40,960
Speaker 2: a young carple move into a house, they inherited a house,

13
00:00:41,080 --> 00:00:44,440
Speaker 2: and it happens to be inhabited by a whole bunch

14
00:00:44,479 --> 00:00:47,839
Speaker 2: of ghosts who've been there for years, living in a

15
00:00:47,920 --> 00:00:53,640
Speaker 2: very dysfunctional sharehouse kind of situation. And all the ghosts

16
00:00:53,720 --> 00:00:57,240
Speaker 2: have basically stayed exactly the same as they were when

17
00:00:57,280 --> 00:01:01,040
Speaker 2: they died. But the things that it different is, you know,

18
00:01:01,200 --> 00:01:06,360
Speaker 2: the particular Australian sense of humor, which is its own,

19
00:01:06,800 --> 00:01:12,160
Speaker 2: you know, exactly fit into the UK and the US.

20
00:01:12,480 --> 00:01:15,600
Speaker 2: And also just because we have a different history here,

21
00:01:15,720 --> 00:01:22,399
Speaker 2: so the ghosts are from our own history, so I'm

22
00:01:22,480 --> 00:01:26,560
Speaker 2: playing an Irish woman who emigrated in the eighteen hundreds

23
00:01:26,680 --> 00:01:32,720
Speaker 2: and escaped the famine in Ireland and moved here, and

24
00:01:32,840 --> 00:01:35,760
Speaker 2: yeah she's still pretty much the same.

25
00:01:35,880 --> 00:01:38,119
Speaker 3: Yeah, well that we have that we have in common

26
00:01:38,120 --> 00:01:40,600
Speaker 3: with other parts of the world, because plenty of Irish

27
00:01:40,600 --> 00:01:43,800
Speaker 3: came here to escape said famine.

28
00:01:44,560 --> 00:01:50,160
Speaker 2: Yes, exactly. We have a Chinese gold miner who came here,

29
00:01:50,200 --> 00:01:55,400
Speaker 2: you know, looking for gold and died yees, minus his pants.

30
00:01:55,480 --> 00:01:58,440
Speaker 2: But that's another story.

31
00:02:00,120 --> 00:02:02,960
Speaker 1: Just having a look at the cast shot and I see, okay,

32
00:02:03,000 --> 00:02:04,720
Speaker 1: well that that's going to be a story in and

33
00:02:04,720 --> 00:02:05,880
Speaker 1: of itself.

34
00:02:07,480 --> 00:02:11,320
Speaker 3: Mandy, that the show was. It was filmed around per

35
00:02:11,720 --> 00:02:14,880
Speaker 3: any particular locations we can keep an eye out for.

36
00:02:15,880 --> 00:02:20,320
Speaker 2: Yes, we we filmed in Wilford because you know there's

37
00:02:20,360 --> 00:02:26,680
Speaker 2: quite a lot of historic Yeah, yeah, yes, at Woodbridge House,

Speaker 2: able to film something in my hometown.

42
00:02:50,560 --> 00:02:52,040
Speaker 1: Well, this is what I was going to say. You know,

43
00:02:52,120 --> 00:02:56,079
Speaker 1: we are unashamedly we can be a little parochial aus

44
00:02:56,160 --> 00:02:58,400
Speaker 1: Perth people, I know I am, And does it does

45
00:02:58,440 --> 00:03:00,200

46
00:03:00,280 --> 00:03:03,880
Speaker 1: back home and film something here, to give you a

47
00:03:03,880 --> 00:03:06,119
Speaker 1: little bit of a buzz to be filming in your hometown.

64
00:04:11,440 --> 00:04:13,480
Speaker 3: I have to ask. I have to ask a question.

65
00:04:13,880 --> 00:04:17,520
Speaker 3: So you're in a series called Ghosts. Have you ever yourself,

66
00:04:17,800 --> 00:04:22,760
Speaker 3: personally being honest, had an encounter with a ghostly creature?

67
00:04:24,120 --> 00:04:27,680
Speaker 2: Look, I've I'm very open to the idea of seeing

68
00:04:27,720 --> 00:04:33,160
Speaker 2: ghosts and very very excited about having my first ghost experience.

69
00:04:33,600 --> 00:04:36,599
Speaker 2: I have spent a lot of time working in theaters,

70
00:04:36,720 --> 00:04:43,680
Speaker 2: and you know they're generally full of and you know, phantoms,

71
00:04:43,920 --> 00:04:46,800
Speaker 2: and you know also yes exactly, but also you know

72
00:04:47,000 --> 00:04:50,560
Speaker 2: smoke effects and lighting and things like that, so they

73
00:04:50,640 --> 00:04:56,080
Speaker 2: can play tricks on your eyes. But I'm yes, I'm

74
00:04:56,160 --> 00:05:04,080
Speaker 2: saying that, I see.

75
00:05:00,680 --> 00:05:03,719
Speaker 3: You're open to the idea, but still waiting for that

76
00:05:03,800 --> 00:05:04,480
Speaker 3: first encounter.

77
00:05:05,760 --> 00:05:09,159
Speaker 1: They say, the ASTA Theater is just right for them,

78
00:05:09,320 --> 00:05:09,719
Speaker 1: full of the.

79
00:05:13,160 --> 00:05:13,360
Speaker 2: Now.

80
00:05:13,640 --> 00:05:15,360
Speaker 1: One last thing, if you if you had to pick,

81
00:05:15,720 --> 00:05:18,440
Speaker 1: do you prefer the UK or the US version of

82
00:05:18,480 --> 00:05:20,520
Speaker 1: the show other than the Australian.

83
00:05:22,279 --> 00:05:25,120
Speaker 2: Yes, of course, the Australians my favorite. Yes, we've done

84
00:05:25,160 --> 00:05:28,400
Speaker 2: a great job, but I do have a soft spot

85
00:05:28,440 --> 00:05:31,640
Speaker 2: for the British just because it was the original series.

86
00:05:31,800 --> 00:05:34,680
Speaker 2: And yes, the Horrible Histories crew, I don't know if

87
00:05:34,720 --> 00:05:39,360
Speaker 2: you're familiar with there. Yes, they're the ones that created it, so.

88
00:05:40,320 --> 00:05:42,760
Speaker 3: And probably the humor is a little more similar to it.

89
00:05:42,880 --> 00:05:44,640
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think they make better.

90
00:05:46,240 --> 00:05:48,040
Speaker 3: Absolutely well, Maddie.
