‘Mortimer’ well up
The second stage of voting for this year’s Feltex television awards has endorsed the police drama, “Mortimer’s Patch,” as among the most popular shows screened during the May-to-August period. In the speciality section, “Kaleidoscope,” “Koha,” “People Like Us,” and “Sport on One” all polled well. In the entertainment area, “Song for the Pacific,” “The Sharon O’Neill Show,” and “12 Bar Rhythm ’n Shoes” came out top.
The competitive documentary section saw a wide spread of votes, those receiving good support including the “Lookout” documentaries, “Gung Ho,” “Red Deer,” and “Hunchin’ Down the Track.” “Spot On,” “Video Dispatch” and “Wild Track” were the most popular of the children’s programmes. “Fair Go,” “Country Calendar,” and “A Dog’s Show” received support in the information programmes section. All three current affairs
programmes — “Eye Witness,” “Close Up,” and “Newsmakers” — received support from the voting academy. Voting for the awards occurs in three stages during the year, leading up to the awards presentation, which is scheduled for April 14, 1981. Public vote will decide the Best Television Entertainer, and the academy will vote for the best actress and actor. This new award will recognise new talent in any field of television.
