In Getaway's footsteps
One phrase is being repeated to us almost daily: "the Getaway crew was here".
We seem to be shadowing a camera and support crew for the Australian television show; mirroring their itineray but forever 12 to 24 hours behind them. And we are told things like: "you'll have this guide, because [insert name here] who we would normally use is showing the Getaway team around".
Wow. We image it'll be tough to make scenes from S21 and the Killing Fields suitable for the 7:30pm Thursday timeslot. We must try and keep an eye out for that episode. In previous years, Getaway has tended to favour the more peaceful images of Angkor Wat. See previous screenings on March 7, 2002 and July 24, 2003 .
There is considerable discussion among the group as to which presenter might now be in Cambodia. We push our guide for clues as to the identity. "Not a girl," he says. (Well that'll help narrow down the field from seven to four).
"That makes sense,'' one of our group says (or was it Trev?). "It's not the type of place to parade Catriona [Rowntree] about in swimwear."
"But Sorrel [Wilby] gets to do a fair a bit of trekking and hard travel," said Tan. "This trip would be up her alley".
The group struggles to search for the name of the third female presenter, and then collectively shrugs. [Sorry Natalie Gruzlewski. But as none of us are Queenslanders, we simply don't know your history with Queensland television, nor your national stint as Lady Luck].
"Doesn't matter, cause its a bloke. Lets see ... there's David," prompts one of our group.
"Yeh that right, Reyne. David Reyne," comes a reply. "And then there's that one whose mother won some sort of brain quiz .. err is it Ben Dork."
"Err ... you mean Dark," retorts another.
"Oh I hope its that good looking one," swoons one of the women in our tour party. "You know, umm what's his name? The tall one. Is it Julian? With dark hair."
"Do you mean Brendon [Julian] with the black hair or umm ... who is that new one with the blonde hair. Is his name Jules [Lund] or Julian?"
We push our guide for a description of height and hair style - but find the reply less than conclusive. It could be Brendon, or it could be Jules, or it could even be Ben.
Fortunately, we were not left guessing for long. [See tomorrow's entry]
