     <Wayne>  Coaster: Stay around for a long time and just survive.
     <Wayne> <Vince> - How are you, Mr Soutar! Why do they call you the "Silver
             Fox"? Cunning director, eh?
     <Wayne> Vince: Silver because of the colour of my hair, and fox, because
             i'm cunning.
     <Wayne> <GopherDJ> Any idea as to when / if you'll once again show "sailor
             Moon"?
     <Wayne> GopherDJ: Posible rerun of Sailor Moon before Christmas, it
             depends on contract negotiations.

     <Wayne> Bench: Network photographic studio and you should write and ask
             her yourself.

     <Wayne> <Bench> when can we ask her if she is single?
     <Wayne> Bench: Terasa is due back next week.
Arishem has signed off
     <Wayne> <Vince> - What's your feeling on those recent ABA decisions
             against the show (e.g. host selling, hammer incident)? Or is that
             a touchy topic?
     <Wayne> Vince: I'm sorry the ABA don't have a sense of humour, but what do
             you expect out of public servants.
     <Wayne> <GolfPro> How do ya become a cameraman these days? Do ya have to
             go to uni?
     <Wayne> GolfPro: The best way to become a cameraman is to hound someone
             for a job, it worked for me.
     <Wayne> <Bench> can we also send letters to Terasa at PO Box 1070 Eastwood
             NSW 2122?
     <Wayne> Bench: Yes
     <Wayne> <Mola-Ram> Did you produce the original Cartoon Connection with
             Michael Horracks?
     <Wayne> Mola-Ram:  No
     <Wayne> <GolfPro> Why did ACC move production from sunny Brisbane to
             Sydney? Network Decision?
     <Wayne> GolfPro: Corporate restructuring for the future.
Holly has signed off
     <Wayne> <Princeton> what other shows do u produce
     <Wayne> Princeton: I've produced all of the Agro material you've seen for
             the past seven years and the christmas carols in Brisbane for the
             past five.
     <Wayne> <GolfPro> What ever happened to Gibbo? He should be on "Where are
             they now"
     <Wayne> GolfPro: Unfortunately Gibbo had commitments in Brisbane and was
             unable to make the change.
     <Wayne> <Vince> - How did you land the role of producer from BTQ days?
             What were you doing before ACC?
Princeton has signed off
     <Wayne> Vince: Spent 7 years directing... it was a natural progression.
Woof has joined
Matt has left
     <Wayne> <GolfPro> Why don't u produce more shows?
     <Wayne> GolfPro: Cartoon Connection is a full-time committment.

Agro has been kicked
     <Wayne> <GolfPro> Is it true that the Seven Network is firing ppl and
             cost-cutting?
     <Wayne> GolfPro: I think it's call rationalisation.
     <Wayne> <Mola-Ram> I don't want to sound ungrateful, but I've wanted to
             'chat' to Holly for quite some time. I'm sure I speak for all her
             fans when I ask "Is there anyway to FORCE her to show up to one of
             these chats?!"
     <Wayne> Mola-Ram: Holly will be back in 3 weeks

MaNToR has joined
     <Wayne> <GopherDJ> Why was the series of Sailor Moon before you showed
             Flash Gordon cut short?
     <Wayne> GopherDJ: W only had 65 episodes of Sailor Moon available to us,
             and we played all of them.
VeNuS has signed off
     <Wayne> <Vince> - I remember an article from a couple of years ago saying
             that, as a general rule, there's an hour of research for every
             minute of 'live' TV. Would that ratio still apply now?
     <Wayne>  Vince: Research is different to production, as a general rule it
             takes an hour to edit a minutes worth of television, shooting
             ratios should be no more than seven or eight to one.
     <Wayne> <GolfPro> Are there going to be more Seven/Prime Personalities in
             this chat room each week?
     <Wayne> GolfPro: I can only speak for Cartoon Connection.
     <Wayne> <Mola-Ram> I'll be dead in 3 weeks
     <Wayne> Mola-Ram: i send my condolences.
     <Wayne> <Spaghetti> where is holly?

     <Wayne> <Princeton> how come u only show two cartoons
     <Wayne> Princeton: When the Network decided to cut the show from 2 1/2 to
             1 1/2 hours i fought to keep the same amount of host content,
             that's why you only see two cartoons now.
     <Wayne> <Vince> - Any significant changes planned for the show next year
             (e.g format-wise, cast, segments)?
Darrien has signed off
     <Wayne> Vince: No significant changes planned but stay tuned you never
             know.
     <Wayne> <GopherDJ> Apart from the 65 episodes that you do have, is there
             any possibility of you getting more? There are supposed to be 5
             series of Sailor, and I think we were in the third....
     <Wayne> GopherDJ: My sources tell me that another 35 or so episodes have
             been translated, we are currently in negotiations to get access to
             these.
G has signed off
     <Wayne> <Mola-Ram> So where did Seven put you up when you visited the
             west, not some old salty sea shack I hope...
G has joined
     <Wayne> Mola-Ram: Would you believe the Hilton.
     <Wayne> <Darrien> Are you a fan of SM yourself?
     <Wayne> Darrien: I am a fan of any cartoon the audience loves.

G has signed off
     <Wayne> <Vince> - I think I recall Brad saying the show's budget is low/er
             this year. Are you finding it restrictive, esp. when trying to get
             cartoons like Sailor Moon?
     <Wayne> Vince: Purchase of cartoons is all part of a larger access deal
             which the Network organises
     <Wayne> <Mola-Ram> Howz about a late night Agro Talk Show, in the vein of
             Denton and Vizard? You could get Gibbo and Crikey back! Imagine
             the possibilities...
     <Wayne> Mola-Ram: A sensational idea!
GopherDJ has signed off
     <Wayne> <obake> any idea when you are coming back to brisbane for a couple
             of episodes?
     <Wayne> obake: I can't see us recording any shows in Brisbane for some
             time to come.
     <Wayne> <Bench> Do you get a lot of spare time when being a Producer? Who
             do we address the letters to? the cast members or........
     <Wayne>  Bench: What little spare time i get, i spend it as far away from
             here as possible.
     <Wayne> Bench: Address your letters to whoever yoy like Bench.
Spaghetti has signed off
     <Wayne> <Mola-Ram> A recent ep. of X-gen kids (or whatever) was set in New
             York - what was the deal with this?
     <Wayne> Mola-Ram: You'll notice all the X-gen kids are set in New York.
     <Wayne> <Vince> - I wreckon Seven could do a series of ACC Classic
             Crack-ups, like Nine did with Red Faces. BTQ7 must have a mineful
             of these gems that you could string together.
     <Wayne>  Vince: You're right - getting the air time is the problem.
     <Wayne> <Bench> r they assured of reaching the person to whom it is being
             sent?
     <Wayne>  Bench: Yes

     <Wayne> <Mola-Ram> Who put up the dosh for that expensive excursion?! How
             many X-gen eps were pounded out?
     <Wayne> Mola-Ram: As with everything in television it is all part of a
             larger deal. We produced 39 segments.
     <Wayne> <Woof> R there going to be any new cartoons?
     <Wayne> Woof: We are currently negotiating for a new cartoon called The
             Beast Masters.

     <Wayne> <Mola-Ram> Has Holly been cautioned over her vulgar overuse of
             cheesy humour and over-acting in her stories?
     <Wayne> Mola-Ram: Holly woudn't be Holly without these attributes.
     <Wayne> <Mola-Ram> Has Holly been cautioned over her vulgar overuse of
             cheesy humour and over-acting in her stories?
DEVIL1 -> SNUFFELUF
     <Wayne> Mola-Ram: Holly woudn't be Holly without these attributes.
     <Wayne> <Vince> - Does Terasa answer all viewer letters? If so, does she
             get any assistance? Sounds like a massive job.
     <Wayne> Vince: As you know Terasa answers all of her personal mail, and we
             have just employed a young person to help with the massive task of
             getting through the general mail.
     <Wayne> <Mola-Ram> How long does the team get off over summer? I hear the
             4 week delay is in effort of gaining a bit of time...
     <Wayne> Mola-Ram: The production unit will close down for the entire month
             of December, however the show will still be on air.

     <Wayne> <Woof> What happened to Gibbo and Crikey??

        <TG> Why did "Cartoon Connection" move to Sydney from Brisbane
        <TG> Are you allowed to say?
    <Teresa> Because of downsizing I guess, I thought it was a stupid decision
             but the executives wanted it
        <TG> Do you like doing the show in Sydney now that you're here?
    <Teresa> No, I'm not TG, Like I said, this is unofficial
    <Teresa> Well, Sydney is a bigger place, I really missed Brisbane, because
             most of my family was there, I guess it's the same
        <TG> Is there anything else you would like to do in television?
    <Teresa> Not at the moment, until ACC is axed, I might try a sopie?
    <Teresa> like Home and Away?
        <TG> That's be interesting
        <TG> Yeh, well I s'pose while you're in Sydney...
    <Teresa> That's right
    <Teresa> Any last minute questions?
        <TG> Do you think the Great Outdoors would be good?
        <TG> for you to work on?
    <Teresa> I might try it, but there's already one ex-ACC person there
        <TG> I think it'sd be good because you'd be travelling around the world
             for most of the year, what could be better?
  <ZenSisko> 11AM with Cameron Daddo
  <ZenSisko> *smirk*

    <Teresa> Wayne is next to me
        <TG> Are you only allowed to be on for a certain amount of times for
             working reasons?
    <Teresa> Yup, I'm supposed to go out tonight
        <TG> Sounds good.
    <Teresa> and there's nothing on Seven Tonight, so there's no point watching
             the tv
        <TG> That's true!
    <Teresa> I can oly watch Seven, It's in my contract
        <TG> Really?
    <Teresa> Yup
    <Teresa> Which sometimes sux
        <TG> I really like Channel 7, because a lot of my favourite shows and
             events are on it.
        <TG> AFL
        <TG> Blue Heelers
    <Teresa> Go Sydney Swans!

        <TG> They've become a pretty good team this year!
    <Teresa> I thought they coulda done a bit better
    <Teresa> Jamie's a Super League Man!
        <TG> Yeh, s'pose so? They made the top 8 didn't they?
    <Teresa> Number 8, that's right
        <TG> Thought so.
    <Teresa> Jamie, goes for Brisbane Bronco's
        <TG> I bet he does, all those plugs Agro gets in for the Broncos and
             the Seagulls!
        <TG> Or used to!
        <TG> I thought it must've had something to do with Jamie's team!
    <Teresa> Seagulls are now Gold Coast Chargers I think?
        <TG> Yeh, that's right.
    <Teresa> But that's on Nine
        <TG> Yep.
    <Teresa> So, he watches it on Optus
        <TG> Oh, that's alright then.
        <TG> Do you watch Optus or Foxtel?
    <Teresa> I wish Jamie would come and do this chat thing
        <TG> Why doesn't he?
    <Teresa> He's too busy, he does radio in Bris Monday to Friday
        <TG> Gee, he must have a hefty schedule then!
    <Teresa> He does
        <TG> Don't you like doing this chat?
    <Teresa> I can chat for 15 more minutes, then I gotta go compleatly
        <TG> Okay.
    <Teresa> I do, but Friday Afternnon's are Planning Arvo's
        <TG> Do you have a lot to do with the planning process?
    <Teresa> I was supposed to put this msg question thing
    <Teresa> Not really, Wayne and Mario (Director), usually do heaps of
             planning
        <TG> Do you do things like suggest ideas, etc.?
    <Teresa> I suggest things like Street Talks, Brad's Dad sorta things
 <^moonbeam> `op
    <Teresa> What type of Cartoon's should be shown
        <TG> new cartoons.
 <^moonbeam> lol
    <Teresa> Why moonbeam? You have to be a Seven Network Personality to do that
        <TG> They'd really get good ratings I'm sure.
        <TG> I remember they showed a new really expensive Crash Test Dummies
             cartoon a few years back now and it went down really well with
             everyone
 <^moonbeam> i am a Seven Network personality, i look just like Agro. lol.
    <Teresa> I know there a bit old, but we beat Cheese TV by 10 points
 <^moonbeam> were twins im sure. hehe
        <TG> That's good, I hate that show!
        <TG> I'm glad your beating them by heaps!
    <Teresa> Maybe I should discuss that with the executives
    <Teresa> But Nine's Today, beats us
        <TG> Back in Year 5 everyone in my class used to love the Samurai Pizza
             Cats, my little sister is here now telling me how much she loved it
 <^moonbeam> Teresa why don't u have ops then??
 <^moonbeam> Today, oh my god.... who watches that !!!!
    <Teresa> Because this is an unofficial chat, and Wayne won't tell me the
             password
 <^moonbeam> lol Teresa....
    <Teresa> I remember those
        <TG> That's a different audience all together, I don't think cartoons
             will get that audience!
    <Teresa> There are more adults than children, that's why Today wins
 <^moonbeam> Hey Teresa whens holly coming on to chat? 
        <TG> Exactly.
    <Teresa> Holly was sceduled to com on last night, so when she feels better
             she will be on
 <^moonbeam> well i hope she feels better soon!!
    <Teresa> I can't spell, ah!
    <Teresa> I hope so too
 <^moonbeam> did u have fun here for Telethon ?
    <Teresa> We had to do today's shows without her, so we'll have to write her
             in the script later
    <Teresa> Which Telethon?
        <TG> Is that a tough task?
 <^moonbeam> in Perth.
    <Teresa> When was that? I've done a lot of Telethons in Perth
    <Teresa> No, It's not that hard TG
 <^moonbeam> lol last weekend... Teresa, Holly and Agro were there.
        <TG> You just go back and edit it in?
    <Teresa> Oh, that one, Sorry I was thinking I one I did with Wayne about 2
             years ago
        <TG> How far in advance do you record the shows?
 <^moonbeam> lol don't have to be sorry.
    <Teresa> That's right, TG Shouldn't be too hard for our skilled editors 
    <Teresa> about 3/4 weeks in advance, depends sometimes
 <^moonbeam> why don't u do the show Live?
        <TG> At 7:00 every morning???
        <TG> I can understand why!!!
 <^moonbeam> lol yea...
    <Teresa> Too hard, if we stuff up- we really stuff-up
    <Teresa> I get up late anyway
 <^moonbeam> whos stupid idea was it to cut down agro. it used to go from 6.30
             but then they put Sunrise on.
    <Teresa> It's too hard, because of timing
        <TG> So you miss your own show?
    <Teresa> It's a Network Decision
        <TG> It's understandable too!
    <Teresa> Sorry TG?
        <TG> Why?
 <^moonbeam> hmmmm. Well I hope agro kills the bookworm.
        <TG> Why are you sorry?
    <Teresa> They want the adult population, watching Sunrise instead of CNN
             and Daybreak
        <TG> You'd have to think Sunrise would have a pretty good chance up
             against them because its an hour long program with good news
             coverage.
    <Teresa> I didn't understand your question
        <TG> Why one?
        <TG> Which one?
 <^moonbeam> well Melissa Doyle is pretty hot.....
    <Teresa> Bookworm rates alright
        <TG> About missing your own shows?
 <^moonbeam> Daybreak sux......... everything on 9 sux.
 <^moonbeam> whos question Teresa?
    <Teresa> That's your opinion
    <Teresa> Hey, I nearly worked for Nine once
        <TG> Couldn't have said it better Moonbeam about nine!!!!!!!!!
        <TG> Doing what>
    <Teresa> TG's ques
 <^moonbeam> Yea I like Sunrise..... But I just dont think they should of cut
             agros time down.
    <Teresa> (TG) So you miss your own show?
        <TG> What I meant was you get up late and as a result you miss your own
             show?
        <TG> It was just something I said when you said you get up late.
    <Teresa> oic, I watch them after their been edited, usually about 2 weeks
             later
    <Teresa> Just to see how I went
        <TG> Oh, okay.
 <^moonbeam> hehe
    <Teresa> I nearly was on What's Up Doc
        <TG> Really?
    <Teresa> Some Audience Member's can be a nightmare
        <TG> I'm sure you'd do a better job than those dozens of hosts that
             they've gone through in the past 12 months!
        <TG> How?
        <TG> Are we talking about the little kids>
 <^moonbeam> What's Up Doc?? lol... the last chick on there was sooo poor. but
             its a poor show. mainly cos 9 make it.
    <Teresa> But I can't discuss that
        <TG> Oh, right!
    <Teresa> yup, most of them are camera shy
    <Teresa> Timeto go
