1 form y separately published work icon The Postcard Bandit Peter Gawler , ( dir. Tony Tilse ) Australia : Pacific Coast Entertainment Nine Network , 2003 6092639 2003 single work film/TV crime

'The Postcard Bandit—that's what the media called Brendan James Abbott (Tom Long), because rumour has it he used to send postcards of his travels to the coppers chasing him. In a career spanning a decade BJ knocked off almost five million dollars of the banks' money and much of this has never been recovered. This is the story of BJ, it celebrates his spirit—it's a warts'n'all account of a unique, gifted Aussie bloke who took the wrong road and who is now paying a heavy price in solitary confinement in a maximum security facility.'
