Cast

Production

It was originally known as Shadow Effects and was shot on location in Sydney, Canberra and the mining town of Broken Hill. It was a pilot for an unmade TV series which was to be called Foreign Correspondent.[1][2]

At one stage Graham Kennedy was going to play a priest.[3]

Production was held up due to protests from Actors Equity.[4]

"I like the concept, it's a contemporary issue," said Newman during filming in December 1980. "I'm a news nut; my favorite actor is Walter Cronkite."[5]
