Phoenix
Phoenix is an
Australian police
dramatelevision series. Phoenix screened as two thirteen-part series on
Australian
Broadcasting Corporation in 1992 and 1993.
The first series of
Phoenix in 1992 recounted the investigation of the
bombing of the Victorian state police headquarters, loosely based on a real case in the mid-1980s, the
Russell Street Bombing. It was aided by extensive research into
policetechniques and was lauded as one of the most realistic depictions of police investigation techniques, including both
surveillance and
forensics, as well as having an involving storyline.
The series was notable for its dark visual tone and for its no-holds-barred attitude to
violence and language.
It spawned a second thirteen-part series,
Phoenix II, in 1993 as well as a spin-off series,
Janus, in 1994 devoted to the machinations of court cases.
The series was created by Alison Nisselle and Tony McDonald and produced by Bill Hughes and screened by the
Australian Broadcasting Corporation.
The ABC have released Series 1 and 2 on DVD (Region 4) as a 4 DVD box set.
And documentaries, I just love documentaries and I will never remember all that I have liked, but this one had me riveted, and made me wish I had studied anthropology, have you seen it???....
