jenkinson





As we draw to the end of the 60s in Homicide the guest actors are no doubt going to veer away a little from people only really known as stars of the Melbourne stage and towards people who might have been that but who also went on to be nationally or globally famous. Well, we've already had Jackie Weaver. This is the first time Graeme Blundell has been in Homicide, in an episode called 'Never a Man', screened in July 1969. He has a small part (though important to the plot) as a criminal called Jenkinson. When he's holed up in a car yard shooting at cops Leonard Teale calls out 'Jenkinson' so many times it starts to get silly. 

IMDB tells us he was actually also in the pilot episode in 1964, uncredited.

ryan 'pipeline' (part 1)

I'm going to come back to this ep of Ryan because it has an amazing North Melbourne car chase, but first I want to honour Margaret Cruic...
