AUSTRALIA; CHILDREN'S TELEVISION FOUNDATION; AUSTRALIAN BROADCASTING CORPORATION; AUSTRALIAN BROADCASTING COMMISSION; GYNGELL, BRUCE; EDGAR, PATRICIA; WINNERS (AT, 1984 -); ROUND THE TWIST [TV] (AT, 1988-) Summary: This is a candid memoir written by one of Australian television’s most influential policy makers and regulators. Dr Edgar reminisces about her childhood in Mildura and charts her rise in the television industry, particularly as an innovator in Australian children’s television production. She also gives a detailed account of her position as the first woman appointed to the Australian Broadcasting Control Board, and how for over ten years, she fought for more locally produced children’s television content. As a result of this, Dr Edgar helped to establish the Australian Children’s Television Foundation in the early 1980s, and has since gone on to collaborate with the BBC, Disney and Revcom in a series of co-productions. Bloodbath also takes into account the author’s struggles and triumphs in the Australian Television industry, especially with political and economic change, and the impact of the global marketplace.
