One of the longest and most enduring partnerships on Australian television, Margaret Pomeranz and David Stratton, is ending in December.
The duo will record the final episode of At the Movies on December 9, bringing down the curtain on a formidable 28-year on-screen partnership.
Perhaps recognising they are irreplaceable, the ABC is scrapping At the Movies in 2015.
The ABC hired Pomeranz and Stratton (Strat to his friends, a nod to his byline as a Variety film reviewer) in 2004. after they felt unloved and unwanted at Sbs, where they had hosted The Movie Show for 18 years.. The then Sbs MD Shaun Brown appeared not to realise they were a highly regarded Sbs. institution. .After 28 years reviewing films on television with Margaret, 10 of them at the ABC, I feel it.s time to go," Stratton said.. "We.ve had a wonderful time, thanks to very supportive and encouraging audiences, throughout that period. And...

Fenech: Brain behind Housos
The Australian TV industry has been taken over by the “posh wanker brigade”, Housos creator Paul Fenech has complained.
His comments – in which he highlighted his “love-hate relationship” with Sbs – came in a live video chat with Mumbrella readers on the weekend that the Housos fim opened in cinemas.
Fenech also spoke of his antipathy to working in the advertising industry again and said that the lengthy process involved in getting Screen Australia funding has made him go his own way in producing films such as Housos which he partly funded out of his own pocket.
A nine-episode second series of the housing commission comedy will follow on Sbs in the new year. Previous Fenech series on Sbs have included Pizza – which he followed at the cinema with the Village Roadshow-funded Fat Pizza – and Swift And Shift Couriers.
Fenech highlighted his tensions with the broadcaster. He...

As the Screen Producers Association of Australia hosts its 25th Conference, we take a look at the event’s past, present and future.
It may have started as an experiment, but the Spaa Conference is now arguably the main screen event in Australia, providing producers – and indeed the rest of the industry –a chance to discuss their achievement, challenges and ideas. In 2010, one of the main discussions will be about finding mechanisms to secure the future of Australian independent television and multimedia production.
One of the highlights is the participation of Lord David Puttnam, C.B.E in a special discussion on The Future of Public Broadcasting in the Digital Landscape. Puttnam will be joined by managing directors Mark Scott (ABC) and Shaun Brown (Sbs).
“He is regarded as the architect of all the progress that’s been made in the UK domestic film and TV sector, with his efforts...
