| Summary |
A sweeping historical mini-series based on the true story of Jessica 'Chubbie' Miller (Kerry Mack, Squizzy Taylor) and ex-RAF pilot Bill Lancaster (Nicholas Eadie, Vietnam, Blood Oath), The Lancaster Miller Affair explores a remarkable and controversial partnership that stood the test of time. Seeking to broaden her horizons and pursue the romance of adventure, Jessica bankrolls a bold venture - teaming up with Bill in 1927 to be the first aviators to fly from Britain to Australia. A highly ambitious undertaking in their Avro Avian Red Rose, their monumental journey is not only measured by the perils of sky high adventure, but marked with heartbreak and triumph along the way. Also featuring the supporting talent of Charles Dance (Game of Thrones), Charles 'Bud' Tingwell (The Castle), June Salter (The Last Bastion), John O'May (The Four Minute Mile), produced by AFI Award winner David Hannay and directed by Henri Safran (Storm Boy), The Lancaster Miller Affair captures an exciting and glamorous era in delightful detail. |
