3
00:00:05,880 --> 00:00:09,760
Speaker 1: of stuff to watch on TV at the moment, however,

4
00:00:10,000 --> 00:00:13,480
Speaker 1: we are very very excited about a brand new show

5
00:00:13,680 --> 00:00:18,200
Speaker 1: which is coming out tomorrow. It's exclusively on Prime Video,

6
00:00:18,280 --> 00:00:21,040
Speaker 1: Australian made, brand new Austraining content and it features the

7
00:00:21,079 --> 00:00:22,520
Speaker 1: one and only Tom Ballard.

8
00:00:23,360 --> 00:00:24,880
Speaker 2: I should should mean to be named the show.

9
00:00:24,880 --> 00:00:25,560
Speaker 1: It's called Deadlock.

10
00:00:27,480 --> 00:00:29,960
Speaker 2: Welcome Tom, Forget all those women. It's mainly about me.

11
00:00:32,920 --> 00:00:33,880
Speaker 2: Hey Tom, can I ask you?

12
00:00:34,280 --> 00:00:35,199
Speaker 3: Good interview for you? Guys?

13
00:00:35,280 --> 00:00:35,840
Speaker 2: This is huge.

14
00:00:37,840 --> 00:00:43,000
Speaker 4: When your manager calls you and says that some producers

15
00:00:43,040 --> 00:00:47,040
Speaker 4: are wanting you to play a lazy police officer, is

16
00:00:47,080 --> 00:00:49,120
Speaker 4: there a part of you that goes, I'm a little

17
00:00:49,159 --> 00:00:51,240
Speaker 4: bit offended that you've come to me with the role

18
00:00:51,400 --> 00:00:53,040
Speaker 4: of lazy police officer.

19
00:00:55,280 --> 00:00:57,400
Speaker 3: No, No, I'm happy. It's not that much of a

20
00:00:57,440 --> 00:01:00,720
Speaker 3: stretch for my actual life to go lazy Median. It's

21
00:01:00,720 --> 00:01:04,640
Speaker 3: a lazy cup. I feel like I could search deep

22
00:01:04,680 --> 00:01:07,760
Speaker 3: inside with me, do some character work and eventually landed

23
00:01:07,840 --> 00:01:11,119
Speaker 3: the character as Fenn Orderman. Yeah, he's a slightly chubby,

24
00:01:11,280 --> 00:01:14,160
Speaker 3: lazy police officer who's gay. So yeah, it was a

25
00:01:14,200 --> 00:01:15,000
Speaker 3: real transformation.

26
00:01:15,400 --> 00:01:15,720
Speaker 2: Whiz.

27
00:01:16,200 --> 00:01:17,360
Speaker 1: I mean, I had to say it. But do they

28
00:01:17,360 --> 00:01:18,120
Speaker 1: write the role for you?

29
00:01:18,400 --> 00:01:18,520
Speaker 3: Is that?

30
00:01:20,400 --> 00:01:20,600
Speaker 2: Well?

31
00:01:21,080 --> 00:01:23,440
Speaker 3: The tea is that it was written for someone else

32
00:01:23,520 --> 00:01:25,320
Speaker 3: and they said to this person, Hey, we've written a

33
00:01:25,600 --> 00:01:27,760
Speaker 3: roll for you in this new show. And then I

34
00:01:27,840 --> 00:01:29,560
Speaker 3: auditioned and they said, oh, we're going to.

35
00:01:29,560 --> 00:01:47,200
Speaker 2: Go with that. No, no, wow, pretty rude, very good,

36
00:01:47,800 --> 00:01:49,080
Speaker 2: a very funny actor who I've talked.

37
00:01:49,080 --> 00:01:50,920
Speaker 3: I'm talking to this guy about the fact, and he's like,

38
00:01:51,000 --> 00:01:53,160
Speaker 3: he said, the classic, Oh, if it had to be anyone,

39
00:01:53,240 --> 00:01:54,000
Speaker 3: then I'm glad it's you.

40
00:01:56,400 --> 00:01:57,040
Speaker 2: It all worked out.

41
00:01:58,760 --> 00:02:01,560
Speaker 4: What's your what's your relationship been like with police officers

42
00:02:01,640 --> 00:02:03,760
Speaker 4: prior to playing a police officers.

43
00:02:04,280 --> 00:02:07,040
Speaker 3: You'll never believe it, guys, but I haven't had any

44
00:02:07,120 --> 00:02:08,799
Speaker 3: problem with the cops about my entire life.

45
00:02:08,880 --> 00:02:10,840
Speaker 2: I don't know what it is about me and my.

46
00:02:11,000 --> 00:02:15,320
Speaker 3: Circumstances, but apparently they haven't bothered me. But I have

47
00:02:15,480 --> 00:02:18,519
Speaker 3: been reading the news in recent years it seems that

48
00:02:18,600 --> 00:02:20,520
Speaker 3: some other people have some different angles.

49
00:02:21,760 --> 00:02:23,520
Speaker 2: And what is cool I think about Deadlock?

50
00:02:23,560 --> 00:02:25,160
Speaker 3: Of course, it's written by the Kates who did get

51
00:02:25,240 --> 00:02:28,800
Speaker 3: cracking and the cooking and the catering, catering very smart

52
00:02:28,880 --> 00:02:32,919
Speaker 3: ladies whose politics have always sort of come through their

53
00:02:32,960 --> 00:02:35,720
Speaker 3: work a lot, and Deadlock is this like attempt to

54
00:02:36,040 --> 00:02:39,799
Speaker 3: interrogate the crime genre. So all there's Scandadavian shows and

55
00:02:40,040 --> 00:02:42,959
Speaker 3: shows like broad Church, and this at a flood of

56
00:02:43,040 --> 00:02:45,200
Speaker 3: crime shows and cops shows where we see just dead

57
00:02:45,240 --> 00:02:48,519
Speaker 3: woman after dead woman after dead woman. They're trying to

58
00:02:48,560 --> 00:02:50,200
Speaker 3: take that kind of genre and that set up and

59
00:02:50,320 --> 00:02:51,799
Speaker 3: really muck around with it and play with it and

60
00:02:51,840 --> 00:02:55,680
Speaker 3: ask some big questions about about crime about really good

61
00:02:55,720 --> 00:02:57,600
Speaker 3: point and Australia.

62
00:02:57,760 --> 00:03:03,519
Speaker 1: Yeah, you're rightmen that you see in crime shows, it's intense,

63
00:03:03,680 --> 00:03:03,959
Speaker 1: isn't it.

64
00:03:04,280 --> 00:03:06,080
Speaker 3: In the first episode, this isn't too much of a spoiler.

65
00:03:06,680 --> 00:03:09,359
Speaker 3: The episode opens with our first victim, which is a

66
00:03:09,480 --> 00:03:12,840
Speaker 3: dead straight white dude on the beach, and the commissioner,

67
00:03:13,000 --> 00:03:15,400
Speaker 3: like the head boss cup calls up our lead detective

68
00:03:15,440 --> 00:03:19,080
Speaker 3: Felsy Collins and he says, you know, was was she strangled?

69
00:03:19,200 --> 00:03:21,680
Speaker 3: And the country as well, you know it's a man,

70
00:03:21,960 --> 00:03:23,239
Speaker 3: and he says, oh, you know, well these kind of

71
00:03:23,280 --> 00:03:26,160
Speaker 3: things you just assume it's a woman. So yeah, immediately

72
00:03:26,160 --> 00:03:29,959
Speaker 3: from the outset, I love that having a lot of

73
00:03:30,000 --> 00:03:31,440
Speaker 3: fun with it, and it's and like these are hour

74
00:03:31,520 --> 00:03:34,080
Speaker 3: long episodes and like it's very it's like eight full hours.

75
00:03:34,440 --> 00:03:37,480
Speaker 3: So it's not just comedy. You couldn't just do no no, no,

76
00:03:38,000 --> 00:03:41,560
Speaker 3: no no. There's a serious, actual murder mystery police that

77
00:03:41,560 --> 00:03:42,440
Speaker 3: will keep you well.

78
00:03:42,480 --> 00:03:45,600
Speaker 1: It's called dead Lock Lock l O c HL tomorrow

79
00:03:45,600 --> 00:03:49,240
Speaker 1: exclusively on Prime Video. I mean, you know you've really

80
00:03:49,280 --> 00:03:50,800

81
00:03:50,920 --> 00:03:51,520
Speaker 1: Tom Ballard.

82
00:03:51,560 --> 00:03:52,560
Speaker 2: That's absolutely huge.

83
00:03:52,760 --> 00:03:55,880
Speaker 1: I mean, I I find it mildly ironic that you're

84
00:03:55,960 --> 00:03:59,400
Speaker 1: on Prime video given that your book recently was about

85
00:03:59,520 --> 00:04:02,080
Speaker 1: how much you hate cashed up baby boomers. But now

86
00:04:02,120 --> 00:04:07,560
Speaker 1: you're working for Jeff Bezos. There's certa an irony that

87
00:04:07,760 --> 00:04:08,840
Speaker 1: comes comes with that.

88
00:04:09,480 --> 00:04:12,640
Speaker 3: I love everybody if you have azon of family myself

89
00:04:12,680 --> 00:04:15,600
