Kick
About five days after we moved into our house in Brunswick we were accosted by a location manager from Storm productions who cheerfully informed us that our street was about to become "the Ramsay Street of Brunswick." I don't think speechless horror was quite the reaction he'd been looking for.
Anyway, the result, Kick, will be premiering on SBS on Saturday 9th June at 8.00pm. I'm not sure how much of it I will be watching, most of the marketing seems to be aimed at thirteen-year-old girls and pink features far too much for my liking. Our street and those around it have of course been renamed, Hope St and Love St, which may sound corny but the original proposition was for Wog St so I think we got off lightly there. Just so you know, it's Albion St that sports the name Love St, or Lerv St as we like to call it. (Instead of doing the Albion St slalom we now go 'gliding down Lerv St'). Virtually all of it was filmed around Brunswick and Coburg so it will be fun to watch just for that alone and of course we will be taping it for the rellies overseas.
In the meantime here's a trailer with some nice views of Brunswick and Coburg.
