The Jaquie Brown Diaries

New Zealand / 2008 / Gerard Johnstone / 6 x half hour series mins

*** The sequel, The Jaquie Brown Odyssey, is now available for acquisition ***

Each week Jaquie attempts to raise her public profile in the media, with the help of her young publicist Kim Sharee. But she also has to contend with a new reporter on the show, the beautiful, funny and multi-talented Serita Singh, a Bollywood beauty whose journalistic style is strikingly similar to Jaquie's and seems to be stealing her thunder at an alarming rate.

The series takes a satirical look at the life of a c-grade celebrity and brings the society supplements of the newspapers to frightening fruition as Jaquie converses, romances and bitch-slaps her way up the media ladder.
