Slide, more than meets the eye

You know you're in Gen Y territory when a TV show is described as being multi-platform. Case in point, Slide - Fox8's hot new Aussie teen drama. Not only can viewers engage with the series via the 10 ep broadcast on TV, but they can also hook in via other pathways including internet and social media.

Platforms and technology aside, we're loving that Slide stars a fresh new slate of actors, let loose in a Brisbane so vibrant and modern it makes you wonder why its taken so long for producers to cotton on.  

To find out more about the wonderful world of Slide, Andrew talks with producer, Sue Seeary and cast member, Brenton Thwaites.

Hold onto your brain, here come the zombies

What started out as a preview for 2011 quickly turned into a rave about Zombie shows: Di Butler's (News Limited) pick being the largely ignored by the ABC Misfits, and Byron Cooke's (2DayFM) big screen tip - Zombie Strippers.

With aaaaages to go until the next series of True Blood airs the field is wide open for a different variant of undead to slow walk on to our screens. We're not sure of the implications for fashion, but if new US zombie drama The Walking Dead lives up to the hype, then 2011 may very well be the year of the zombie.
