Often titled ‘network script executive’ at Seven, close colleague of Mr Drama John Holmes, Bevan Lee is a key player on shows that shaped Australian series television. He also treats the telephone as a friend, particularly when it is connected to Rochelle Siemienowicz.
Bevan Lee is the creator and writer of some of Australia’s most popular commercial television drama – Channel Seven’s Packed to the Rafters, Winners & Losers and most recently, the lavish and surprisingly subversive 1950s-set melodrama A Place to Call Home. Debuting to a national audience of 2.6 million, and continuing to rate well as it approaches the first season’s final cliffhanger on Sunday night, A Place to Call Home has just been renewed for a second season.
