LOCKIE LEONARD – THE HITS KIDS TV SERIES – OFFERS VIEWERS THE
CHANCE ‘TO CRASH THE CREDITS’
The hit tv series Lockie Leonard is offering one of the most exciting competitions ever for
young television viewers – ‘Crash The Credits’.
Fans of the show are urged to grab a camera, film themselves (and their friends) singing the
theme song from the series and upload it to their MySpace profile (or via ninemsn and
facebook).
The best videos will then be incorporated into the show’s final credits over the coming
weeks.
Lockie Leonard producers Goalpost Pictures Australia and digital agency Tequila have
created a series of online experiences for Lockie Leonard fans, including competitions,
storyline linked webisodes, video podcasts and downloadables.
New video content is being rolled out each week, with over 75 minutes of original content
created specifically for online.
Based on the much loved Tim Winton books, sun, surf, healthy young people, romance, lots
of laughs, intelligent writing and a unique fresh central character are what make Lockie
Leonard so special.
Series 1 and 2 were shot in Albany, on the beautiful south coast of Western Australia. Tim
Winton had set the books here (under the fictional name of Angelus).
Series Two follows
Lockie’s next adventures, as he navigates young love, his loving but
definitely odd family, his attempts to reach for the stars, and the occasionally intense
experiences of being a young teenager.
The performances of the young cast in Series One created rising star success stories. Sean
Keenan who plays Lockie, was nominated for Outstanding New Talent at the 2007 LOGIE
Awards. Corey McKernan (Phillip) was nominated for Best Young Actor at the AFI Awards
and Clarence Ryan (Egg) starred in the independent Australian feature film, September, for
which he was nominated for an AFI Award.

Further awards collected both nationally and internationally include the TV Week LOGIE
Award for Outstanding Children’s Series and AFI (Australian Film Institute) and ATOM
(Australian Teachers of Media) Awards for Best Children’s Series. The show received a
nomination for a BAFTA (British Academy of Film and Television Arts) Award for
International Children’s Series; AFI Award nominations for Best Director and Best
Screenplay; and second prize at the Chicago International Children’s Festival for the Adult
Jury Prize Live-Action Television Program.
Lockie Leonard is currently screening on the Nine Network at 12 noon every Saturday.
