"Bondi Rescue" has been one of the most successful 'ob doc' series on Australian television with its winning formula of drama, character-based stories and humour. The series has been awarded two Logies and is now in its fifth season, cementing itself as one of Network Ten’s most important 'brands'. With healthy international sales, the series shows no sign of slowing down.
What makes a successful factual series and what are the constraints and liberations of working with a commercial network? Is Bondi Rescue 'ob doc', 'popular factual', 'reality' – or does it really matter? What is abundantly apparent is that the series is grounded in the fundamentals of observational filmmaking and its reputation for feeling ‘real’ has been part of the show’s success.
The creative duo behind the series, Executive Producer Michael Cordell and Series Producer Ben Davies, take us through the making of an iconic Australian hit.
