This applies to men also. Seven and production house December Media eventually decided to go ahead with a telemovie without McLachlan, renamed The Blake Mysteries. McLachlan: Removed form the series after allegations. To set recordings for the show when it airs click the "Schedule New Recording" link above. Is fast-tracking funds to Foxtel the best way to support the media during COVID? The Blake Mysteries: A New Beginning was fronted by actress Nadine Garner, who played housekeeper Jean in the original series. Head to Head: Should comms bosses take the fall after a crisis? I have been a loyal fan of the Dr Blake Mysteries since day one.

Would love to see the chemistry between him and Nadine now that they are married. Destroying another human being is never right and that seems to be the goal of the media. Jean was snarky and it played well with Lucien; it aided in the development of their relationship. It was never a great show, ordinary script writing and often over-acted. The Blake Mysteries: A New Beginning. All people do inadvisable things from time, but neither Craig nor Geoffrey Rush deserve to have their careers and mental health destroyed. #BlakeMysteries pic.twitter.com/7bNWekcb2R, — Channel 7 (@Channel7) September 10, 2018.

The Blake Mysteries: ... Secret City), the new editor of The Courier, wrote and published an article about the history of Stanton House, while another in his “unsolved crimes in Ballarat” series has a link to the homicide victim. We have to keep watching to thank Channel 7 for supporting this great show. It was a generic murder mystery with a female lead, a la Murder She Wrote or Miss Marple. Its final episode on the ABC saw 891,000 metro viewers, McLachlan, who played Dr Lucien Blake in the drama set in 1950s Ballarat, was accused of sexual harassment. With them having no answer to their accusers. Either cut down on the Ads or make the episode shorter. Really enjoyed watching her step up to the lead role – she’s more than capable of carrying the series. ). So that they can read, analyse, and very much take on board writing that embraces all the heroic features. Felt Nadine wasnt up to the task at the start but did settle into it as it progressed but it was somewhat boring and missing Lucien I have never been a Craig McLachlan fan until the blake series. 450,000 viewers (9th) If they were so upset by his behaviour why didn’t they slap him and get over it instead of ruining a great actor’s career.

I shall cut and paste this comment and send it to my 16-year-old twins, Emily and Max. Bring on many more of the Blake Mysteries. Enjoyable . Plot good and actors from former series were at their best but the absence of Craig McLachlan was telling. Thought the show started and finished way too late. Give it a go.

And some of you aren’t even giving the company’s new offerings a go before you’ve even seen them. The show is not the same without him. WHAT happened to the Doc. Not to detract from the performance of Nadine Garner, who was her usual great self as were the other cast members, but unfortunately we are huge fans of Craig and were disappointed that he was removed from the show. Producer: George Adams But that same inner strength which got her through the losses of war and enabled her to raise two sons on her own will not allow her to be defeated. I wonder if December Media can also sue for losses. Doctor Blake was axed by the ABC in March last 2017 after five series, despite being the national broadcaster’s most popular TV series. Will not watch again. I have resorted to watching reruns of the series.

And the direction in regards to acting was lackluster and at times seemingly absent. As the US with our government is no longer a civilized nation I have had to look to other nations to get my examples.

Friday, November 30, 2018 (Seven, 8:30) I was hesitant for starter’s in watching it without Lucien there, but for Craig to have a show to come back to it needs an audience to keep the show going. A go. June 15, 2018 — 4.31pm. It is always hard to adjust when a main character leaves the show and the new series was no exception. The viewers have voted, check your ratings!

So I remain loyal to Blake mysteries regardless of the outcome for Craig. Mysterious Martin will surely cause problems in the future. I think this series will be short lived and Craig should be re-introduced if there is to be any success here. We miss him. I see I was wrong. I see little difference between this and Murder She Wrote or Miss Marple.

personality. The program was poorly scripted, appallingly directed and generally ill conceived.

The Blake Mysteries: A New Beginning. Craig made the show. President John F. Kennedy has been assassinated; the world has changed and tremors are being felt even all the way in Ballarat where Jean Blake (Nadine Garner) is unexpectedly drawn into the investigation of a pair of murders.

Well said, totally agree. Terrible script writing and plotting, that’s what let it down badly. Craig! Nadine Garner, Joel Tobeck, Belinda McClory. This really highlighted to me that Nadine is one of Australia’s most talented actresses.

I really enjoyed it. Since then Jean has taken on her husband's mantle as a solver of mysteries. Women do these things to men. Unless Craig comes back. A late time slot, on a traditionally low viewing night of the week did not help The Blake Mysteries find an audience. Craig McLachlan is the heart and soul of this franchise. There is no chance for any character development over a series.

I found it hard to follow the story at the start, probably because I was wanting to know how they wrote off Dr Lucien Blake, but I felt more comfortable when I found out that he hasn’t been killed off, just missing.

Bring back Craig. This website uses cookies for proper functioning and enhancing the user experience. He is a great actor, as also saw him in Adelaide in Rocky Horror, where he was brilliant. I think it was VERY good but in its own respect- you can’t compare it to the series cause it’s quite different.

Also not a Craig fan but this has been a brilliant project that I couldn’t imagine anyone else but Craig doing. This was a caricature of that character. Just bring Dr Blake back. Jean Blake is drawn into the investigation of several bizarre … I can’t wait. Be looking at that no way it is like a satire. Craig was the Doctor Blake misterys. I was disappointed that they didnt say what had happened

Hearing people stick up for Craig is good. Information Studio BBC One Genre Drama Released 2018 Rated M Languages Primary English (Australia) Accessibility Closed captions refer to subtitles in … A lot has happened since we last saw Jean Blake.

I watched the show and liked it. I also felt that she was overacting.

Of course we miss Craig but I really love Nadine garner.

I watched The Blake Mysteries on Britbox and I am seriously hoping for more. So much better than the episodes with Craig. I am not interested in those shows. No one knows the town's history better than Jean and she's determined to help, despite pushback from Chief Superintendent Matthew Lawson (Joel Toebeck). I see time when Craig could return. Sorry but I thought was tedious and boring. Just a reminder; Craig also ummed and aaghed about returning after season 1, but he did, so give seven and especially Nadine a go.

Rick you have made my day, in fact my week! Good luck Craig hope you return to the series, it’s nothing without you. Second was Matthew. It attains real equipoise. Not the same without him. FYI: IT TOOK THAT LONG TO AIR, it’s already available on DVD so don’t panic. Love Dr Blake Mysteries!

Bring back Craig and the right to fail now and then. Here’s a high quality Australian production with Australian actors, costume and set designers and all the other creative types it takes to make a TV series, and you are not giving it a go. to be reunited with Nadine Garner. I hope the show continues…a wonderful Aussie drama , Just love Craig so sad to see career interrupted not finished because of allegations Dr Blake is Craig will be proven innocent and once again be entertained as we have been before in so many roles. Whether you know it or not it is in a slow death spiral. So many replies, so many (so called) opinions.

I’m reading good and bad comments.

I enjoyed it thoroughly.

Save your money don’t bother with the other “movies”.

Great show enjoyed watching the new series.:-). They only have the first four not the fifth from last year. Must agree.. but theres NO role for sexual misconduct female or Male and GOOD actors get respect.So if Criag wins lets All give him due respect and diligence to his career. I also dont like ads.

Me too didn’t like the housekeeper taking over. Great clarity and fluidity of expression, prose beauty, precision of thought, an engaging and inviting style, a ‘take no prisoners’ and deft use of emojis and, of course, excellence in punctuation. Ýes I agree that it all sounded like a bit òf a witch hunt he should still be in the show I think or they should have waited for the outcome of the court case. Wake up and so no to bullying Craig.

What is the matter with these women with a problem with him complaining years later? Get over it!! Craig’s acting was obnoxious as Dr Blake and the character was completely undesirable. Tbe show is great and so is he. It moved through very quickly with no time for boredom and the acting was very good.

How would you feel if one of your work colleagues behaved as Craig has been accused of (by multiple women)? Well done Channel 7. Even Hobart provided some much needed sarcasm with his bloody nose. Bravo!

The Blake Mysteries: A New Beginning (2018). Good story line. It had believable emotion and was well acted.

Everything else just felt forced and acted. Stop blaming the wrong people and start supporting our home grown Aussie film and TV industry. Had happened to him it seemed to be more believable and Who may be best suited to playing what, is beside the point, the most important matter is the quality of the theatrical production itself.
