Speaker 1 (00:00):
Season two of Baarfires starts eight pm Sunday on the
ABC and on abc I View. Of course, in the
star of the show, Marta Dusseldorf is joining us.
Speaker 2 (00:07):
Good morning, welcome.
Speaker 3 (00:09):
Good morning, thank you, thank you for having me.
Speaker 1 (00:13):
Thank you for joining us. I loved season one and
I love the synopsis for season two. It says Stella
sees a glimmer of hope on the horizon. No one
has tried to kill her for some months with you,
so what can we expect in season two? Are you
at the center of a myriad of problems again?
Speaker 3 (00:35):
Not to start with, she's simply the boss of the town,
managing these fabulous bunch of Motley criminals. Yes, and doing
quite well in fact, and everyone's got more than they need,
but of course no one's ever satiated. So now she
gets a tap on the shoulder by someone that needs more,
and it all starts unraveling very quickly. We've got new villains,
(00:59):
We've got but deeper, darker secrets. We go deep into
the relationships between the characters you met in season one. So,
for example, Magda and Heather, Pam Rave and Roz Hammond
have a their very own storyline where Stelli takes a
break and we find out why they're together and what
they mean to each other and how they make it
(01:21):
all work. The kids have grown up, so Otis and
Iris are more trouble than they're worth, of course, not deeper.
We love our kids and Stella and Jeremiah are still
trying to work it out. And in the background, yes,
there's people wanting things from her that she couldn't possibly provide.
Speaker 2 (01:43):
And.
Speaker 3 (01:44):
We don't not as many people die this season, and
of course it's all accidental, but we really tried to
keep the vibe, you know, Ozark meets Fargo meets.
Speaker 2 (02:00):
What a comprehensive summer was going on without giving any
spoils away, mat I thank you for that. Now film
filming and Tassy, which is home since you have been
in the family lived back to the film, that's possible.
Speaker 3 (02:13):
I was so wonderful to return to zen and Queenstown
on the west coast of Tasmania. It is one of
the most unique landscapes I think in the world, and
the people are now like family. Ben and I have
a place there and have for longer than the shows existed.
But we knew when we first arrived there, and especially
when we walked into z and that that was where
(02:33):
we needed to place this western which is really what
Bad Prize is. And and so this time you'll see
us actually spend more time in that main street and
Stella and the kids have moved into that, into that
amazing art deco Gaiety Theater which exists, and yeah, it's
(02:54):
I mean, look, it's cold, it's the dead of winter,
but that's when we need to be there. You really
see the West Coast have come alive in the winter,
the moss and the mycilium and all of the treasures
of snow one day and just wet the next and
then brilliant sunshine. So we found some locations in season
one that we couldn't get to because we didn't have time.
(03:16):
But season two I made sure we went up the
highest mountains into the coldest rivers, done and we really
made the most of this glorious landscape.
Speaker 2 (03:27):
It is.
Speaker 1 (03:27):
It's like a character in and of itself, the landscape
of Tasmania. I mean that great show Deadlock that was
on last year, and then on the weekend I watched
The Survivors, two shows recently set in Tasmania. It's incredible
and great cast, as you said, Ros and Pamela back
and Matt Nabel he's back for season two as well.
Speaker 3 (03:48):
Really yep. And we've got Andre Dvani who plays Jason,
and Emily who plays Bonnie his wife lived in the caravan.
I've got Bob Franklin and we've got him co and
El Mandalas, they're all back. And then we've got some
really fabulous new faces. So Benedict Hardy joins us as
(04:10):
as I think one of the most unusual villains I've
ever created, co created with my writing buddies. But his
performance is so electric and every time I did a
scene with him, but I didn't know when the scene
had finished should we stop now, you know, because he's
(04:30):
so so in it and fabulous. And then some other
really great guest artists. We love to bring people in
quite quickly and then get them out one way or another,
so there are lots of people tripping literally out of
the scene, out of the show. But it was such
a ball to write again, and the privilege of being
(04:53):
able to go back in is you know, the audience
loved it, being the most watched show on ABC and
twenty twenty three, so we just want to please. I mean,
it really was about giving them back all the Loveday
gave us. So hopefully they love it.
Speaker 2 (05:09):
This a young woman who plays Rebecca, looks like she
shows promised too. Grace. Well, I want to talk about
We mentioned quite a bit about Tazzy, but here in
Perth we're going to be very spoiled because we've almost
finished these new film studios in Malaga. What's the setup
like down here? I mean, I know you, you and
(05:30):
Ben would love to have an everyone else in the
industry I love to have that facility. And what is
the promise for that to come?
Speaker 3 (05:37):
I think while there's focus on another very big structure
going on down in Tasmania at the moment, that that's
not a possibility necessarily. But the beauty of Chassy and
it's you'll feel it when you come and visit, it's
you have to get out in it. That's where the
magic lies. So to box us in a room I
(05:59):
don't seeink is conducive to what Tassi has to offer.
So and all those shows you mentioned, they're all in
completely different regions and spaces of that incredible state. So
us taking the West Coast, I just it's so unique,
it's so organic, and often you know, it says, come
(06:21):
down for air, you know, that tourism thing. It's so true,
like we ordered see out there breathing in this air
and going. We can't believe we're allowed to be here
with cameras and capturing this in national parks. I mean,
obviously everything's permitted. We're very careful with it. I mean, look,
of course i'd love a studio because it's actually cost effective.
(06:44):
As now my producer goes on. You know, regional shooting
is not cheap. Our budgets aren't huge, so compared to
the Americans, what we're able to achieve is pretty startling.
And I hope yeah, and our stories travel around the world,
so I think we do okay.
Speaker 1 (07:06):
I think we do well. Season one of Bay of
Fires was such a trip. If you haven't seen season one,
get around in. Season two starts eight o'clock Sunday on
the ABC. I can't wait. Marta, Thank you for joining.
Speaker 3 (07:19):
