Had we been asked Rose, we would've given more than our 20 cents worth.<br />
In fact - if you check out the comments being left on the ABC site itself re this show - you'll see that last year, when the show was just hinted at being forthcoming, 'someone' said Sue Turnbull would be perfect for it!!

Hi Lindy, I didn't know you were here too! Yes, I watched the show and I was so disappointed with the content. And so male oriented (yes I know Dorothy was there) in so many ways. Darn it, I thought SinC had made more inroads than that. Catch you at the next SinC do....Rose :)

Whilst I agree Daniel - at least we got a mention! it was still a pretty poor effort and I agree with Lindy on the incredibly poor standard of the discussion and I mourn the missed opportunity.<br />
<br />
Even for a half hour show there was very little illumination on the breadth of the work, or even much about where the local scene is going or could go.<br />
<br />
Whilst I love Dorothy's work and I thought El Dorado was a fantastic book - why not also look to some of the multi-published / known as Crime Fiction…

Lindy - I think we all need to band together and hit Aurora or Channel 31!<br />

We're running some commentary over on AustCrime at the moment <a href="http://www.austcrimefiction.org/node/4223">http://www.austcrimefiction.org/node/4223</a> and we'll let the show producers know.

I'm surprised that Maloney was the only high profile author they could get for the show. Would have loved to see Peter Temple mixing it up with that lot. He's never afraid to share his opinion and is as entertaining as Maloney. I guess there's not a lot you can do in half an hour but, yes, it would have been nice to hear more mentioned about Australian crime.<br />
<br />
For me, I'm just chuffed that the show was even aired. I've never seen that kind of coverage on my favourite genre in our sunburnt land…
