Channel Seven is filming a new factual series on local councils, with the working title Local Rules.

Executive producer Pat McInerney said, “It’s the Border Security of council workers.

“It’s a show that focuses on everyday Australians doing extraordinary things in their local community.”

Seven was filming at a community meeting at Tweed Shire Council in Northern New South Wales on Thursday afternoon, recording local residents voicing concerns about issues ranging from speeding traffic to development.

But local councillors won’t decide until Tuesday whether its meetings or staff can be filmed.

McInerney said Local Rules was a Seven original concept which had been kicking around the network for about two years.

  1. Having worked for a local council I can guarantee you that there is absolutely nothing worth filming and if you really need to know what goes on just watch ‘Yes Minister.’

    This sort of show will only encourage the Councillors to be more big headed and self-important than they already are!

  2. This is great news. Not because I’m particularly interested in local government but because it means that we can’t be too far away from some small-minded individual deciding to commission a factual about the exciting world of Neighbourhood Watch.

    Meetings, reporting graffiti, meetings, posting flyers in mailboxes, meetings… can’t wait.

    Zzzzzzzzzzz……………

  4. Groan!!!!!! More factuals. Gee, Seven wake up and realise your factuals are nothing more than cheap and nasty filler that all fall down when other networks get creative and provide decent competition. More losses for you then Seven, your share holders must be thrilled!

    So, where exactly is All Saints replacement? Though I shouldn’t be surprised when they can’t even bother to return City Homicide or Packed to the Rafters. Both shows I admittedly loathe, but I would rather they show Australian trash than American trash, drama only of course.

    Seven can be proud of producing another cringe inducing ‘factual’. They should also be proud of coming third in some nights. A well earned title for the geriatric channel that only produces, crap, fluff & filler.

  7. @ nathan – lol don’t think seven won’t read this and give that a go. this has to be the bottom of the factual barrel surely? can’t imagine anyone but rusted on seven fanbois and old folks watching this. of course those two catagories aren’t mutually exclusive 🙂

  10. “a Seven original concept which had been kicking around the network for about two years.” Hello. Ever wonder why it’s been “kicking around” for two years and going nowhere? “It’s the Border Security of council workers.” OMG. Spare me the excitement of it all. The two-hour lunches, afternoon sleeps in the council trucks down at the beach, the forty-minute morning tea breaks…..etc…etc.

  12. Still waiting for the factual that follows the Garbos around during their shifts. Get up early in the morning, get to depo, get in the truck and drive around for a few hours, take the garbage to the tip, unload the garbage, take the truck back to the depo, clean the truck and go home. Get someone to do the voice overs, Grant Denyer or David Koch perhaps, Bob’s truck is broken and he has called the depo for a replacement, sadly for Bob that’ll take 45mins.

  17. Seven show too many boring factual rubbish, Nine is better actually showing entertainment like Big Bang etc.

    Do people really want to sit down each night and watch Surf Patrol, Medical Emergency, Find My Family, etc etc.

    Apparently so according to ratings. 🙁

  18. Is there a single person out there in the television viewing world that would hear this news and say “Oh boy, I can’t wait for the show about councils!”

  22. This show is so gonna rock!!!!! It’s gonna be the best thing on TV ever!!! Who doesn’t love a community meeting, they’ve got me hooked already.
