A few months ago a film crew moved into a farmhouse
just 12kms up the road from my little place
and since then we've spied the big boxy camera and big fuzzy boom mic
and since then we've spied the big boxy camera and big fuzzy boom mic
being pointed at foody and farming types
around our area
very soon
River Cottage Australia
will be launched on (pay) TV screens around this fair land
will be launched on (pay) TV screens around this fair land
(can I get an 'oh myyyyyyy' from you all?)
I'm remaining resolutely on the fence about the whole thing
I've always rather liked Hugh Fearnley-Whittingstall and the River Cottage thang
(even if some of the things Hugh gets up to down on the farm give me the giggles
or make my eyebrows start rolling around my head like demented marbles)
but River Cottage Australia is not being hosted by Hugh
sooooo
it's hard to know how RCA will be received...
at any rate I expect it will be fun to play 'name that local-yokel'
and see our region on the (little) big screen
(last time this part of the world had this much filming fuss was when
'The Man Who Sued God'
came to town....
