Retrospective interview series The ABC Of, hosted by David Wenham, is returning to ABC in May with former Prime Minister Julia Gillard as its first guest.
The show delves into the vast ABC archives to inspire conversations with guests, who are unaware of the clips that have been chosen. The footage often leads down delightful and surprising paths, offering a unique look at the guest’s past that has not been seen in decades.
David Wenham, a globally successful film and TV actor with a long-standing career at ABC, steers each interview. The ABC Of is about how people and the world around them change over time, exploring who we were and who we have become. The show offers a form of time travel without the cost and jet lag.
The ABC Of is a Guesswork Television Production in association with the Australian Broadcasting Corporation, with Executive Producers Jon Casimir and Jo Long. ABC Commissioning Editor Julie Hanna and Acting Head of Factual and Culture Richard Huddleston are also credited.
