1 form y separately published work icon Candy Regentag Kiss the Night Don Catchlove , ( dir. James Ricketson ) Australia : Rainy Day Productions , 1988 6950243 1988 single work film/TV thriller

'Candy has been working in Bambi's health studio and massage parlour for six months to raise money to buy time or maybe freedom. She becomes involved in a triangular love affair. Gradually her sense of self assurance slips away and she becomes the prisoner of her obsession. A powerful often amusing story, at first deceptively naturalistic, it develops as a psychological suspense story with a classically tragic ending.'

1 form y separately published work icon The Tea Ladies Grahame Bond , Jim Burnett , Don Catchlove , ( dir. Maurice Murphy ) Australia : Lyle McCabe Productions Paradine Productions , 1978 Z1821414 1978 series - publisher film/TV humour

As Moran notes in his Guide to Australian TV Series, this was (like other productions of the same period, including Are You Being Served? and Father, Dear Father) an importation of a British concept: unlike the other programs, however, this was based on a concept for which William Stewart had produced a pilot, but that had never been picked up for production.

The series revolved around tea ladies working in Parliament House, Canberra. Moran notes that 'The short series made at ATV Channel 0 in Melbourne cost $500 000. Each episode was aired almost immediately after studio shooting and was screened at 8:30pm to small audiences with almost no reviews.'
1 form y separately published work icon The Bluestone Boys Robert Caswell , Michael Cove , Colin Eggleston , Peter Hepworth , Graeme Koetsveld , Ray Kolle , Terry Stapleton , Douglas Tainsh , Don Catchlove , ( dir. Charles Tingwell et. al. )agent Melbourne : Crawford Productions Network Ten , 1976 Z1815090 1976 series - publisher film/TV humour

An hour-long sit-com set in a men's prison, The Bluestone Boys ran to twenty-six episodes, but was not one of Crawford Productions' more successful programs. According to Moran, in his Guide to Australian Television Series, 'The boys in question were male prisoners supervised by a mixture of idiot trustees headed by a Nazi-like Chuck Faulkner. The comedy of the male group outsmarting its supervisors should have been funnier, given the experience of Crawford writers such as Ian Jones and Terry Stapleton, but The Bluestone Boys fades into insignificance when compared with programs such as Bilko, McHale's Navy and Porridge.'
