Next week The King has its first public outing at a World Premiere Melbourne screening.
As I’m attending look for this site to give you the early word on the telemovie around the middle of the week.
The biopic has had assistance from key players in Kennedy’s life including: Val Wesley (Graham’s best friend – widow), John Michael Howson, Nine Network’s Pete Smith, Jim Murphy (television journalist), Bob Phillips (floor manager and producer at Nine), Henry Gaye (Radio 3UZ), Joy and Brian Westmore (IMT), Denis Spencer (son of Norm Spencer who discovered Graham) , and Graham Blundell who wrote KING – The Life and Comedy of Graham Kennedy.
Here are some production photos which certainly look enticing:
Shaun Micallef as GTV9’s manager Colin Bednall.
Stephen Curry and Stephen hall as the young Graham and Bert.
Blankety Blanks pics with Jane Allsop as Noeline Brown and Angus Sampson as Ugly Dave Gray.
The King airs Sunday May 20 on TV1 and later on Nine.
Kindly credit this website if copying photos, thanks!

Yes, TV1. Then Nine after Foxtel has two airings. I’ve added the time / date. And don’t forget the Key Airdates section.
when is this likely to be broadcast? and will it be on free-to-air or just Foxtel? (TV1 made it didn’t they?)
