  • Colin Lane Comedian / Professional Show Off
    Colin Lane Comedian / Professional Show Off As the ‘Lano’ from Lano & Woodley, Colin Lane was one half of Australia’s favourite comedy duo. They won comedy’s Oscar, the Perrier Award, and their series The Adventures of Lano & Woodley played in more than 30 countries. In 2006 they said Goodbye with a tour that played to 125,000 people in 34 towns. Since the farewell tour, Colin has toured to cabaret and comedy festivals around Australia, most notably teaming up with the hilarious David Collins from The Umbilical Brothers to tackle Gilbert and Sullivan in The 3 Mikados. Colin has been a regular on a wide variety of Aussie TV shows, including Spicks and Specks, Ready Steady Cook, The Circle, Good News Week & The Project. In 2013, he was a guest panellist on UK favourite QI alongside Stephen Fry and Alan Davies, and has returned several times since – most recently in 2019 on the new-look, Sandi Toksvig-hosted version of the hugely popular show. He has worked with both Red Stitch under director Nadia Tass, and The Production Company, in “Curtains”. He’s also teamed up with his friend of 25 years, opera singer David Hobson, for “In Tails”. They sing, dance and even tell some jokes in a unique and hilarious experiment that entertains and beguiles in a whole new way. Colin reunited with Frank Woodley as part of the Melbourne Comedy Festival 30th Birthday Bash at the Regent Theatre in 2016, for a surprise performance that brought the house down. It naturally led to a serious “Waddya reckon?” chat.

  • Submission by Network Ten House of Representatives Standing Committee on Communications and the Arts Inquiry Into the Australian Film and Television Industry
    Submission by Network Ten House of Representatives Standing Committee on Communications and the Arts Inquiry into the Australian Film and Television Industry 10 April 2017 Executive summary • Network Ten welcomes this Inquiry because it is time to face the reality that the highly successful local television production ecosystem we have built over many years in Australia is facing unprecedented challenges and we can no longer sit back and hope for the best in the new competitive landscape. • Ten is committed to Australian content. We broadcast thousands of hours of Australian programming every year and we employ thousands of Australians directly and indirectly across the production sector. • We invest heavily in marketing and promotion of local programs, we build content brands, we train production professionals, and we launch local and international careers both on and off screen. Eighty percent of Ten’s publicity and marketing budget is spent on promoting Australian content. • Without strong, profitable local broadcasters, the Australian production sector faces a very uncertain future. We want to retain our commitment to Australian drama, our national news coverage, and our commitment around Australia but Network Ten’s commitment to local content and local news is in serious jeopardy. • Our competitive landscape has changed completely – Ten is now competing directly for advertising dollars, viewers, and content against some of the world’s largest and most valuable companies such as Google, Facebook, Netflix, Apple and Amazon. • These companies do not make local news, dramas, or children’s television. They do not employ local journalists or publicists and in some cases they do not have a single employee in Australia, but they are taking an increasing share of advertising revenue in this market.
