‘Reputation Rehab.’
Two years ago writers-producers Sophie Braham and Melina Wicks had the idea of a show which tackled ‘outrage culture,’ the ugly phenomenon of public figures being pilloried in Tweets and media headlines for real or imagined mistakes.
Together with Cjz’s Nick Murray, they pitched the idea to the ABC, which agreed to fund the development of Reputation Rehab.
Presented by Kirsten Drysdale and Zoe Norton Lodge, who are co-writing and co-producing with Braham and Wicks, the eight-part show premieres at 9.05 pm on October 28 and could not be more topical, according to Nick Hayden.
“It’s a show about shaming, the outrage in the media cycle and the audience’s involvement in how that cycle perpetuates itself,” says Hayden, who was promoted earlier this month to ABC head of entertainment from entertainment manager.
The first episode centres on tennis ‘bad boy’ Nick Kyrgios, who agreed to a rare...

Nick Murray.
Cjz MD Nick Murray and See-Saw Films’ Emile Sherman have made a detailed submission urging the Federal Government to underwrite the risk of productions having to shut down or replace the director or key cast due to the coronavirus pandemic.
Their scheme would not require any upfront funding from the government and would entail minimal risk.
If the government underwrites the risk of the Covid-19 exclusion from insurance policies, most productions would be fully covered for amounts ranging from $500,000-$2 million, they estimate.
They propose producers would pay an excess of $20,000 or 1 per cent of the production budget to cover any low impact virus-related disruption.
The maximum exposure for the government would be in the range of $70 million-$90 million, based on the unlikely event that future Covid-19 outbreaks would shut down all production and that the costs could not be managed out of the budgeted contingency and insurance excess.
