The deeply neglected Australian artist/filmmaker Tim Burns (not the
Tasmanian painter, or the actor who was in Mad Max, or the hundreds of other
creative types whom share that name), was quite interested in experimental
television, and had a US cable television show in the early '90s called 'The
Operators' (about out of work call centre operators) which was apparently
recorded live and with which audiences at home could interact by ringing the
characters.
After he returned to Australia, he did a few things on community television
in Perth, and attempted to set up a similar live/interactive show (which he
eventually achieved as a one-off in 2001) and faced a bunch of other
problems after receiving initial funding from the Australian Film Commission
to do a show in Melbourne.
