The Newsreader

This superb Australian drama is set in a fictional TV newsroom in Melbourne. The year is 1986 and the reporters are covering hard-hitting events such as the Space Shuttle Challenger disaster and the case of Lindy Chamberlain’s missing baby. Behind the news, there’s plenty of drama as the storylines unfold, with a strong rivalry between the news anchors, an unlikely romance and plenty of personal secrets revealed... This is a mustwatch for anyone who remembers the 80s – and the good news is that Season 2 airs next year.
