It seems Ramsay Street may not be so neighbourly after all. Indigenous actors Shareena Clanton and Meyne Wyatt have gone public with experiences of racism and toxic behaviour while working on the set of Neighbours. Fremantle Media, which makes Neighbours, now says it has ordered an independent review of Neighbours and its production process.
Actor Remy Hii (Marco Polo; Crazy Rich Asians; Aftertaste) joins BW + BL to talk about how he made it through three stints of quarantine, his foodie passions and how he hopes to see the Australian screen industry take more risks.
And finally BL + BW blitz through some recent screen hits: Godzilla V Kong; Peter Rabbit 2; Supernova; and the Bluey Easter special.
