1
00:00:00,480 --> 00:00:02,040
Speaker 1: Jones and Amanda in the morning.

2
00:00:04,200 --> 00:00:05,280
Speaker 2: Well, it's back tonight.

3
00:00:05,559 --> 00:00:08,119
Speaker 3: Our favorite prisoners are back in the slammer As Wentworth

4
00:00:08,200 --> 00:00:12,320
Speaker 3: returns for season eight, and there's fresh meat. We're used

5
00:00:12,320 --> 00:00:15,120
Speaker 3: to seeing our next guests looking very glamorous and shows

6
00:00:15,200 --> 00:00:18,760
Speaker 3: like a place to call home. Janet King, she has

7
00:00:18,800 --> 00:00:22,280
Speaker 3: been my style icon for many years, but tonight going

8
00:00:22,320 --> 00:00:27,280
Speaker 3: without makeup and in the prison greens Martin Dusseldorf.

9
00:00:26,760 --> 00:00:29,800
Speaker 1: Hello, Hello, how are you, Amanda?

10
00:00:29,960 --> 00:00:30,720
Speaker 2: I'm very well.

11
00:00:30,760 --> 00:00:33,280
Speaker 4: I'm here as well. Martha. It's just not the Amanda show.

12
00:00:35,120 --> 00:00:37,199
Speaker 2: Very sensitive, It's just.

13
00:00:39,360 --> 00:00:41,239
Speaker 5: I'm taking a leaf out of the prison book. You've

14
00:00:41,240 --> 00:00:43,320
Speaker 5: got to shive them straight away. Is that what you

15
00:00:43,360 --> 00:00:45,320
Speaker 5: do when you go into prison? So if you had

16
00:00:45,360 --> 00:00:47,720
Speaker 5: to go to jail, what would you do?

17
00:00:48,800 --> 00:00:54,319
Speaker 1: Devon? Not take in a shiv? One hundred percent, use

18
00:00:54,360 --> 00:00:56,960
Speaker 1: your mind and mental powers. Like Sheila Busch.

19
00:00:57,600 --> 00:01:00,680
Speaker 3: Well, Sheila is the character that you're playing, and she's

20
00:01:00,680 --> 00:01:03,560
Speaker 3: not in tonight's episode. She takes a few steps to appear,

21
00:01:03,600 --> 00:01:06,120
Speaker 3: but her story is interesting. Tell us about Sheila.

22
00:01:07,720 --> 00:01:11,360
Speaker 1: Sheila's has been involved in a cult for many years

23
00:01:11,520 --> 00:01:15,319
Speaker 1: and my inspiration was the docco Wild Wild Country. Have

24
00:01:15,400 --> 00:01:19,480
Speaker 1: you seen that? No? It's about bug one in America.

25
00:01:19,760 --> 00:01:24,800
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, yeah, so quite quite famous. But the woman

26
00:01:24,959 --> 00:01:28,920
Speaker 1: behind bug one was the really interesting part. So just

27
00:01:29,000 --> 00:01:33,080
Speaker 1: watching her and her psychology and who she thought she

28
00:01:33,240 --> 00:01:35,800
Speaker 1: was as opposed to what she was actually doing. I

29
00:01:35,840 --> 00:01:39,039
Speaker 1: found really really interesting that psychotomy. So I play a

30
00:01:39,040 --> 00:01:39,520
Speaker 1: lot with that.

31
00:01:39,760 --> 00:01:42,320
Speaker 4: Well, she was called Sheila, wasn't she. That was tough titties,

32
00:01:42,440 --> 00:01:42,760
Speaker 4: wasn't it.

33
00:01:44,200 --> 00:01:47,640
Speaker 1: Yeah. Yeah, and that sort of impenetrable gaze that is

34
00:01:47,680 --> 00:01:52,080
Speaker 1: all knowing and has all the answers, which I certainly don't.

35
00:01:52,160 --> 00:01:55,200
Speaker 1: So I found that really fascinating as well. We were

36
00:01:55,240 --> 00:02:00,240
Speaker 1: shooting it right as COVID started hitting into Australia. There

37
00:02:00,360 --> 00:02:03,960
Speaker 1: was this sort of paranoia and fear and uncertainty that

38
00:02:04,840 --> 00:02:07,720
Speaker 1: I hope is bubbling away behind my eyes because it

39
00:02:07,760 --> 00:02:09,040
Speaker 1: was all getting a bit crazy.

40
00:02:09,200 --> 00:02:13,080
Speaker 5: Well, COVID out on the outside is kind of scary.

41
00:02:13,200 --> 00:02:15,680
Speaker 5: I would imagine COVID on the inside would be even

42
00:02:15,680 --> 00:02:16,280
Speaker 5: more scary.

43
00:02:17,360 --> 00:02:19,840
Speaker 1: Yeah, I think it is something that we need to support,

44
00:02:20,720 --> 00:02:23,400
Speaker 1: make sure that people aren't being left in there to

45
00:02:24,600 --> 00:02:27,959
Speaker 1: basically just run its course. Yes, there are a lot

46
00:02:27,960 --> 00:02:30,720
Speaker 1: of groups that they've got their eye on that, and

47
00:02:30,760 --> 00:02:33,600
Speaker 1: that was something I really found shooting went with in

48
00:02:33,639 --> 00:02:37,679
Speaker 1: all the corridors. It's all real posters, and so I

49
00:02:37,760 --> 00:02:40,040
Speaker 1: sat reading a lot of the material and there's so

50
00:02:40,360 --> 00:02:45,079
Speaker 1: much support for women in prisons. Probably not enough, but

51
00:02:45,600 --> 00:02:47,959
Speaker 1: what I loved is the show really promotes that and

52
00:02:48,400 --> 00:02:52,639
Speaker 1: looks into mental health and well being, and so it's

53
00:02:52,720 --> 00:02:56,000
Speaker 1: not just a you know, slash them up show, which

54
00:02:56,040 --> 00:02:57,360
Speaker 1: I think is really great.

55
00:02:57,240 --> 00:02:59,680
Speaker 2: When you first arrived on set.

56
00:03:00,080 --> 00:03:02,680
Speaker 3: I mean, unlike walking into a real prison where all

57
00:03:02,760 --> 00:03:05,200
Speaker 3: these women who have been locked up together, it would

58
00:03:05,200 --> 00:03:08,160
Speaker 3: be terrifying. All these women that have already been there

59
00:03:08,160 --> 00:03:11,440
Speaker 3: from the last eight seven series. They all knew each other,

60
00:03:11,520 --> 00:03:14,520
Speaker 3: but you probably know them from acting throughout these as well.

61
00:03:15,600 --> 00:03:19,840
Speaker 1: I do, so I've worked with pretty much all of them.

62
00:03:19,960 --> 00:03:22,400
Speaker 1: I had a few fangirl moments. Katina loss of It

63
00:03:22,520 --> 00:03:24,920
Speaker 1: has to be one of my all time favorite performers,

64
00:03:24,960 --> 00:03:29,280
Speaker 1: and Boomer is one of those iconic characters that I

65
00:03:29,320 --> 00:03:34,400
Speaker 1: think will never forget, and I found her particularly enjoyable

66
00:03:34,639 --> 00:03:37,800
Speaker 1: in watching her click into her character really quickly, but

67
00:03:37,960 --> 00:03:41,520
Speaker 1: quick clicks straight out afterwards as well. Yes, so there's

68
00:03:41,560 --> 00:03:47,400
Speaker 1: this amazing liveness and adaptability that you really only get

69
00:03:47,440 --> 00:03:50,720
Speaker 1: after you've done six seasons. Which I do know a

70
00:03:50,720 --> 00:03:54,480
Speaker 1: little about having done place for that long. But so

71
00:03:54,560 --> 00:03:57,000
Speaker 1: it was a real privilege and honor and there's a

72
00:03:57,040 --> 00:03:59,960
Speaker 1: lot of fun there because of course there's some dark

73
00:04:00,200 --> 00:04:02,400
Speaker 1: matter that they go into, so there was a lot

74
00:04:02,440 --> 00:04:05,600
Speaker 1: of laughs and comaraderie. It was a really beautiful set.

75
00:04:05,640 --> 00:04:07,320
Speaker 4: It's always nice to have some laughs when you've got

76
00:04:07,320 --> 00:04:08,520
Speaker 4: some dark matter going on.

77
00:04:08,640 --> 00:04:10,680
Speaker 3: Well, you know, tell me Macintosh is a friend of ours,

78
00:04:10,720 --> 00:04:13,360
Speaker 3: and she said that sometimes, you know, she she has

79
00:04:13,400 --> 00:04:16,320
Speaker 3: to go home and remind herself that she has to

80
00:04:16,360 --> 00:04:18,240
Speaker 3: have a normal domestic life at home because there's all

81
00:04:18,240 --> 00:04:19,600
Speaker 3: the dark stuff you do deal with.

82
00:04:20,839 --> 00:04:23,640
Speaker 1: Yeah, I think, I mean that's the gift is as

83
00:04:23,680 --> 00:04:26,800
Speaker 1: an actor, is to embody these moments that you can

84
00:04:26,960 --> 00:04:29,520
Speaker 1: walk away from. And but what I try to do

85
00:04:29,640 --> 00:04:32,320
Speaker 1: is pay tribute to the people who can't, who live

86
00:04:32,360 --> 00:04:35,760
Speaker 1: in these extraordinary situations and have to do it every day,

87
00:04:35,839 --> 00:04:39,720
Speaker 1: all day. So there's an enormous amount of truth on

88
00:04:39,800 --> 00:04:43,160
Speaker 1: that set because they understand the stakes of what they're representing.

89
00:04:44,600 --> 00:04:48,360
Speaker 5: A doatgon Amanda do well in jail because she does

90
00:04:48,400 --> 00:04:51,919
Speaker 5: this great face. Do that face, you face, you do

91
00:04:51,960 --> 00:04:52,799
Speaker 5: that franky face.

92
00:04:52,839 --> 00:04:54,560
Speaker 4: Boy, See she's doing it now.

93
00:04:54,560 --> 00:04:56,680
Speaker 2: I'm doing it on radio, which is very effective.

94
00:04:57,440 --> 00:04:59,320
Speaker 4: You can feel it through look at it.

95
00:04:59,440 --> 00:05:00,640
Speaker 2: I don't want you to be too frightened.

96
00:05:00,680 --> 00:05:03,120
Speaker 4: Mark. Young kids walk past it, they suddenly go look

97
00:05:03,120 --> 00:05:03,360
Speaker 4: at that.

98
00:05:03,440 --> 00:05:05,960
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm going to shift them just with my thoughts.

99
00:05:06,920 --> 00:05:09,599
Speaker 3: Well, Martha, you must enjoy not spending ten thousand hours

100
00:05:09,640 --> 00:05:12,000
Speaker 3: having your hair and makeup done and having to wear spanks.

101
00:05:12,240 --> 00:05:14,120
Speaker 2: It looks very comfy.

102
00:05:15,160 --> 00:05:18,760
Speaker 1: Well, I have said it was the four costume fittings

103
00:05:18,880 --> 00:05:21,120
Speaker 1: that teal tracksuit and I had for some of my

104
00:05:21,240 --> 00:05:28,720
Speaker 1: nineteen fifties pistons. Actually, Sarah adam so I was intrigued

105
00:05:28,760 --> 00:05:32,960
Speaker 1: at how particular each tracksuit is to the person, and

106
00:05:33,000 --> 00:05:36,240
Speaker 1: they really take so much effort in time. It's very beautiful.

107
00:05:36,279 --> 00:05:39,000
Speaker 1: But once it's on, it's like you're in your pajamas.

108
00:05:39,040 --> 00:05:40,040
Speaker 1: It's really lovely.

109
00:05:40,760 --> 00:05:43,760
Speaker 4: Once the teal goes on, it's on.

110
00:05:43,680 --> 00:05:45,320
Speaker 1: He can never really take it off.

111
00:05:45,440 --> 00:05:47,560
Speaker 4: No, really, Well, Marta, it's great to talk to you.

112
00:05:47,600 --> 00:05:48,000
