  1. Shane Brennan, a Bendigo boy schooled at Marist Brothers College always had his eye on this career path and has now made the big time. Your town is very proud of what you have achieved. Congratulations!!

  2. Has anyone else noticed the young woman who I have glimpsed not far from the vicinity of Gibb’s team area. She is I would believe to be an extra whose role is to look as though she is working but instead I have seen her facing Gibb’s office and watching the actors performing. Does she believe that no-one can see her doing what she is being paid not to do?

    Regarding Director Vance. I miss Jenny but I think Vance is great in his role. And I hope that he stays in that role for a very long time.

  4. I have heard a strong rumor that ten have approached the Shane about making an Australian version of NCIS. to be titled NCIS: Down Under.

  5. I’m both pleased and concerned by this, I’m glad he’s staying because he’s obviously been a driving force behind making the show great. I’m concerned because I don’t want NCIS to go on so long it turns into drival. I want NCIS to go out on top because everyone involved deserves that.
