10
00:00:31,360 --> 00:00:34,080
Speaker 1: about a year after Scrublands leaves off.

11
00:00:34,120 --> 00:00:36,280
Speaker 3: What can you tell us about the plot of this one?

12
00:00:36,760 --> 00:00:37,760
Speaker 2: It certainly does.

13
00:00:38,560 --> 00:00:42,360

14
00:00:42,440 --> 00:00:46,680
Speaker 4: of Martin, and they wanted to make a new life. However,

15
00:00:46,720 --> 00:00:50,160
Speaker 4: there is a murder in the town pretty much straightaway

16
00:00:51,159 --> 00:00:54,640
Speaker 4: Martin is in and it's one of Martin's best friends

17
00:00:54,720 --> 00:00:57,320
Speaker 4: and my character Scotty's best friend.

18
00:00:57,440 --> 00:01:01,920
Speaker 2: So it's pretty close to home. There are a.

19
00:01:01,800 --> 00:01:07,600
Speaker 4: Few suspects and very close to home. So it's Marty's

20
00:01:07,640 --> 00:01:11,560
Speaker 4: pretty much torn on who you believe as the mine,

21
00:01:12,080 --> 00:01:15,319
Speaker 4: you know, trying to sold the case. So fantastic. It's

22
00:01:15,360 --> 00:01:19,800
Speaker 4: gripping television, gripping story. It's a story that you cannot

23
00:01:19,880 --> 00:01:22,120
Speaker 4: leave and if you're watching it, you need to go

24
00:01:22,160 --> 00:01:27,400
Speaker 4: to the bathroom or grab some popcorn. You do not

25
00:01:27,640 --> 00:01:30,800
Speaker 4: want to miss a second of this show.

26
00:01:30,400 --> 00:01:32,440
Speaker 3: You just don't drink that day so you.

27
00:01:32,400 --> 00:01:35,040
Speaker 1: Don't have to go to the bathroom or take the

28
00:01:35,080 --> 00:01:35,920
Speaker 1: party with you exactly.

29
00:01:38,240 --> 00:01:43,199
Speaker 5: What about shooting in augusta beautiful part of the world, last.

30
00:01:42,760 --> 00:01:47,560
Speaker 4: Places, It's well, it's become one of mine. I'm from Sydney,

31
00:01:47,600 --> 00:01:50,720
Speaker 4: so we fell over there, as was most of the cast,

32
00:01:51,160 --> 00:01:53,120
Speaker 4: but a lot of the local crew were a part

33
00:01:53,160 --> 00:01:56,040
Speaker 4: of which was great. And I did a Google match

34
00:01:56,040 --> 00:01:58,240
Speaker 4: search of it all. I saw how small it was,

35
00:01:58,280 --> 00:02:00,000
Speaker 4: and I'm a big city boy, and I thought, wow,

36
00:02:00,040 --> 00:02:01,880
Speaker 4: how am I going to survive you for two months?

37
00:02:02,240 --> 00:02:05,880
Speaker 4: You know the supermarket closes at seven pm.

38
00:02:06,560 --> 00:02:09,560
Speaker 2: But I ad sblutely loved it.

39
00:02:09,560 --> 00:02:13,079
Speaker 4: It was while watching time, so there was Wales. It

40
00:02:13,200 --> 00:02:15,600
Speaker 4: was like a whale highway. There was just that many

41
00:02:15,639 --> 00:02:16,560
Speaker 4: pods out there.

42
00:02:17,320 --> 00:02:18,320
Speaker 2: I stayed along the river.

43
00:02:18,560 --> 00:02:23,040
Speaker 4: There were dolphins in the morning, pelicans. I played tennis

44
00:02:23,080 --> 00:02:29,080
Speaker 4: with the local ladies. On a Wednesday, I played fantastic.

45
00:02:29,360 --> 00:02:29,840
Speaker 2: I loved it.

46
00:02:29,880 --> 00:02:34,639
Speaker 4: I swum with the local The Photogusta flounders down there.

47
00:02:34,480 --> 00:02:36,760
Speaker 3: In the morning landers, okay, right.

48
00:02:37,000 --> 00:02:41,560
Speaker 4: Yeah, and then I played golf on their beautiful golf

49
00:02:41,600 --> 00:02:44,440
Speaker 4: course there, which is maintained by locals, and it's just

50
00:02:45,760 --> 00:02:48,400
Speaker 4: they really and the locals made it for me. They

51
00:02:48,440 --> 00:02:50,320
Speaker 4: really opened the doors for it and.

52
00:02:52,080 --> 00:02:53,640
Speaker 2: A beautiful part of the world.

53
00:02:53,760 --> 00:02:55,800
Speaker 1: Do you know what my favorite thing about Augusta is?

54
00:02:55,840 --> 00:02:57,640
Speaker 1: I reckon they do the best fish and chips in

55
00:02:57,680 --> 00:02:58,280
Speaker 1: the state.

56
00:02:59,800 --> 00:02:59,960

00:03:06,400 --> 00:03:07,799
Speaker 4: local bakeries in each town.

61
00:03:07,919 --> 00:03:10,840
Speaker 2: Yes, of course, pretty well, definite.

64
00:03:17,000 --> 00:03:20,120
Speaker 4: They'd be grilling, wouldn't I That would have been great,

65
00:03:20,120 --> 00:03:21,200
Speaker 4: But I didn't.

66
00:03:21,240 --> 00:03:23,400
Speaker 2: But no, I would have got all the gossips. I

67
00:03:23,440 --> 00:03:25,360
Speaker 2: would have kept my mouth shut. Of course, I would

68
00:03:25,360 --> 00:03:27,240
Speaker 2: have known gossip too much.

69
00:03:27,360 --> 00:03:29,280
