1
00:00:00,920 --> 00:00:03,000
Speaker 1: This is jem Nation with Jonesy.

2
00:00:04,559 --> 00:00:07,080
Speaker 2: Our next guest is a true national treasure. He's been

3
00:00:07,120 --> 00:00:10,280
Speaker 2: gracing our screens for years and sharing the big screen

4
00:00:10,280 --> 00:00:13,720
Speaker 2: with some of Hollywood's royalty, all while keeping his iconic,

5
00:00:13,880 --> 00:00:17,880
Speaker 2: quintessential Aussie accent. Well, there's a fabulous news series called

6
00:00:18,040 --> 00:00:21,680
Speaker 2: Derby and Joan that Brian is fronting, and we're delighted

7
00:00:21,680 --> 00:00:22,439
Speaker 2: to have him on the show.

8
00:00:22,480 --> 00:00:25,840
Speaker 1: Brian Brown, Hello, good morning, How great to see you.

9
00:00:26,000 --> 00:00:29,280
Speaker 3: Great to see you again. Presuming you're playing Derby not Joan.

10
00:00:30,120 --> 00:00:32,440
Speaker 4: Well, Jone's a stretch, but I said I'd have a go.

11
00:00:32,600 --> 00:00:36,400
Speaker 4: But no, they said you've got to play Derby and Joan.

12
00:00:36,479 --> 00:00:38,760
Speaker 2: Is played by Greta Scacchi, who played your wife in

13
00:00:38,800 --> 00:00:40,720
Speaker 2: Palm Beach. So she must be a maid of yours.

14
00:00:42,080 --> 00:00:43,040
Speaker 1: Yeah, I known.

15
00:00:43,120 --> 00:00:45,760
Speaker 4: I've known Greta for probably thirty five forty years. She

16
00:00:45,840 --> 00:00:48,800
Speaker 4: knew her and Rachel were models together back in back

17
00:00:48,840 --> 00:00:51,400
Speaker 4: in London years ago, and all that stuff in the

18
00:00:51,560 --> 00:00:53,920
Speaker 4: in the heyday of all that David Bailey and all

19
00:00:53,960 --> 00:00:55,360
Speaker 4: that that mob and everything.

20
00:00:55,400 --> 00:00:57,880
Speaker 1: Yeah, boy have they got some stories, those girls.

21
00:00:58,120 --> 00:01:00,959
Speaker 4: And so you know, I've on and off, but never

22
00:01:01,000 --> 00:01:03,840
Speaker 4: worked with gret and then we were meant to do

23
00:01:03,880 --> 00:01:07,240
Speaker 4: a play at the Sydney Theater Company Traveling North about.

24
00:01:07,040 --> 00:01:07,679
Speaker 1: Six years ago.

25
00:01:07,920 --> 00:01:09,760
Speaker 4: Two days before we were about to go on, she

26
00:01:10,080 --> 00:01:12,080
Speaker 4: heard her back fell over heard her back, couldn't do

27
00:01:12,120 --> 00:01:15,160
Speaker 4: it and had to pull out from that, And so

28
00:01:15,240 --> 00:01:17,479
Speaker 4: I was sort of disappointed because I'm really looking forward

29
00:01:17,520 --> 00:01:20,720
Speaker 4: to it. And then when Palm Beach came up, it

30
00:01:20,880 --> 00:01:24,120
Speaker 4: was obvious to say, let's go after Greta because anyway,

31
00:01:24,200 --> 00:01:26,760
Speaker 4: like along the Shore of It is, I thoroughly enjoy

32
00:01:26,800 --> 00:01:27,240
Speaker 4: working with her.

33
00:01:27,280 --> 00:01:30,039
Speaker 1: She's bloody good. She's a fabulous actress. Greta.

34
00:01:30,360 --> 00:01:33,480
Speaker 4: Yeah, she's just there all the time. She's really you know,

35
00:01:33,520 --> 00:01:36,600
Speaker 4: her characters are just very real and you know, so

36
00:01:36,720 --> 00:01:38,440
Speaker 4: and we get along well. I mean she does rat

37
00:01:38,440 --> 00:01:40,640
Speaker 4: line at times about everything in the world and never

38
00:01:40,760 --> 00:01:42,080
Speaker 4: I have to tell her to shut up so we can.

39
00:01:43,240 --> 00:01:45,360
Speaker 1: But outside of that, like we.

40
00:01:45,360 --> 00:01:47,600
Speaker 3: Have a good time other than that, so she's like

41
00:01:47,640 --> 00:01:48,800
Speaker 3: a real wife. Really.

42
00:01:50,080 --> 00:01:53,720
Speaker 1: Oh totally. I leave Rachel at me and I go

43
00:01:53,840 --> 00:01:54,480
Speaker 1: to Breda.

44
00:01:57,360 --> 00:02:01,560
Speaker 2: Well, I've read this sounds incredible because it's a love story,

45
00:02:02,320 --> 00:02:05,920
Speaker 2: a road movie, a mystery series. In Outback Odyssey, you're

46
00:02:05,960 --> 00:02:07,040
Speaker 2: ticking all the boxes.

47
00:02:07,640 --> 00:02:10,119
Speaker 1: Yeah, but it's not really a love story. It's these

48
00:02:10,160 --> 00:02:14,520
Speaker 1: two people. I say that they are each other's rescue dog.

49
00:02:15,400 --> 00:02:22,280
Speaker 4: Like Joan Gretta's characters has traveled to Australia to find

50
00:02:22,280 --> 00:02:25,519
Speaker 4: out what happened to her husband, who's died in Australia

51
00:02:25,520 --> 00:02:28,120
Speaker 4: when he's meant to be in Spain. So she's come out.

52
00:02:28,160 --> 00:02:31,840
Speaker 4: She's traveling to get answers. I'm out on the outback,

53
00:02:32,040 --> 00:02:35,760
Speaker 4: running away from life. I've been a cop, I've had problems,

54
00:02:35,760 --> 00:02:37,800
Speaker 4: I've been kicked out of the force, I've got problems

55
00:02:37,840 --> 00:02:40,000
Speaker 4: going on in other ways there. I don't want to

56
00:02:40,080 --> 00:02:44,480
Speaker 4: know anything anymore. So I'm traveling to escape questions. And

57
00:02:44,520 --> 00:02:47,320
Speaker 4: the pair of us collide and we have to share

58
00:02:47,320 --> 00:02:51,480
Speaker 4: a van for the next you know, we're in Australia,

59
00:02:51,600 --> 00:02:56,320
Speaker 4: so you know, the next twenty five million miles and so.

60
00:02:56,800 --> 00:03:00,600
Speaker 4: And during that time we get each stop to somewhere,

61
00:03:00,720 --> 00:03:03,840
Speaker 4: something happens and we resolve that, and in the resolving

62
00:03:03,880 --> 00:03:05,600
Speaker 4: of it, you learn a bit more about each of

63
00:03:06,160 --> 00:03:11,120
Speaker 4: each of Darby and Jane figure there's sort of rescue

64
00:03:11,120 --> 00:03:13,639
Speaker 4: dogs that they're damaged in their own way. They're dealing

65
00:03:13,639 --> 00:03:14,840
Speaker 4: with stuff in their own way.

66
00:03:15,480 --> 00:03:17,959
Speaker 2: Could you be Could you be a gray nomad? Could

67
00:03:18,000 --> 00:03:20,520
Speaker 2: you and Rachel just drive around in a van and

68
00:03:20,639 --> 00:03:23,560
Speaker 2: use public toilets and play totem tennis.

69
00:03:24,800 --> 00:03:27,400
Speaker 1: I go surfing, I use the public toilets all the time.

70
00:03:28,080 --> 00:03:31,080
Speaker 3: But could you live like that rhymes front BANDA Well?

71
00:03:31,160 --> 00:03:31,639
Speaker 1: Could you and.

72
00:03:31,639 --> 00:03:32,640
Speaker 2: Rachel do it together?

73
00:03:34,200 --> 00:03:35,480
Speaker 1: Go the same public toilet?

74
00:03:37,680 --> 00:03:41,080
Speaker 3: It's not going to David you actors. You actors are

75
00:03:41,160 --> 00:03:43,560
Speaker 3: weirdos going to the toilet together.

76
00:03:44,200 --> 00:03:46,839
Speaker 1: Okay. I love being on the road. I really enjoy

77
00:03:47,040 --> 00:03:47,800
Speaker 1: I've being on the raid.

78
00:03:48,520 --> 00:03:51,040
Speaker 4: Rachel's not as big a lover of just being on

79
00:03:51,080 --> 00:03:53,480
Speaker 4: the road as I am, but she'd be probably more

80
00:03:53,640 --> 00:03:56,560
Speaker 4: about saying let's go and do this than I would be.

81
00:03:56,760 --> 00:03:59,920
Speaker 1: In a funny way. But I wouldn't go in the

82
00:04:00,000 --> 00:04:01,600
Speaker 1: those bands, you know. If I went, I'd go.

83
00:04:01,560 --> 00:04:04,240
Speaker 4: In a ute with with a cover in the back

84
00:04:04,320 --> 00:04:06,760
Speaker 4: and and you know, and and a little stove that

85
00:04:06,800 --> 00:04:10,200
Speaker 4: could take outside. And I wanted a bit simpler than

86
00:04:10,200 --> 00:04:11,320
Speaker 4: those big bloody things.

87
00:04:11,680 --> 00:04:15,280
Speaker 5: Yeah, you know, I'd imagine if you think of Brian Brown,

88
00:04:15,320 --> 00:04:18,160
Speaker 5: you think of you in a ute that's exactly a tent.
