Great idea Nicole Mayer
I have already sent a thank you email to the abc for playing Press Gang .
(trust me it was a big thank you)
Now i did hear in america that the tv show The Senitienal was cancelled then
renewed mid US season due to the Phone calls faxs emails as well as a
website to show fans love of the show and the campaign to get the sentienal
back on the air.
So i has been done but in australia i dont know. It is worth a try .
I also find it strange to hear they only have the rights to the last season
of the show if the rights on the other seasons where running out would they
have not shown them before they did, And i also thought that tv series
rights were sold for the whole show not season by season .
Anyway the email campaign sounds a great idea and i will send them another
email about press gang.
bye chris
ps. i have not received a reply to the abc email the first one i did include
my email address just incase they wanted to email me.
