PRISONER - The 30th Anniversary (Events)

RiSH Publicity were honoured to work on the 30th Anniversary celebrations for iconic Australian Television show "PRISONER". We began work with Val Lehman (Wentworth's Top Dog "Bea Smith") in August 2008 right up to the very day of the Event, held in the old CH10 grounds at Nunawading, VIC on 22nd February 2009. Over 250 fans, cast and crew celebrated with music, chat, meet-n-greets and a few fine wines.

In the run up to the event RiSH organised appearances for Val Lehman and Colette Mann ("Doreen Anderson") on CH10s "9AM With David & Kim", where they were joined by award winning actress, Amanda Muggleton ("Chrissie Latham") for a chat - [you can watch that HERE.] 

RiSH also organised a national studio link-up in three cities for the ABC's "The Conversation Hour". Val, Colette and Jane Clifton ("Margo Gaffney") joined host John Faine in the Melbourne studios, Amanda Muggleton and Fiona Spence ("Vera 'Vinegar Tits' Bennett") joined in from Sydney, and Carol Burns ("Franky Doyle") from Brisbane for this ONE HOUR Special [listen here]

TV Week covered the Event exclusively and featured a double page spread with the entire cast in attendence and Sydney Morning Herald's Michael Idato featured "The Freak" (Maggie Kirkpatrick) on the TV Guide cover to celebrate the 30th also. Val Lehman also completed interviews with Inside Soap, TV Soap, New Idea, Frankie, Melbourne's Herald Sun, Interval for Drum Media, Time Off and Inpress, Cherrie Magazine, SameSame.com.au, Time Out Magazine, 2SER's "Queer Noise" (Sydney), RTR FM (Perth), 4ZzZ FM (Brisbane).
