G'day all Aussie Invention lovers.

I have been advised that my take on Victa did not make the final
cut for the History Chanel ... alas!

But ... Northern Pictures has advised the following: -

Dear Jack,

I hope this finds you well. Firstly thank you again for flying in to participate in our shot for the Victa lawn mower last year. It was a lovely scene that you filmed with Anja Taylor discussing some of Victa's most successful advertising campaigns over the years. In the edit we had an abundance of great material for that story, and unfortunately, in the end we had to lose your scene from the final cut, purely for time. It was a shame, but that scene lives on...

We have delivered it to the network along with a number of other great scenes that couldn't make it into the final cut of the series, and the History channel will be publishing your advertising chat with Anja on its website as part of the digital extras for the show so it will be accessible to all, even people without Foxtel. You will be able to see it at the link below in the week leading up to launch on 24th June, and it will live there for a long time after that.

We have also had the publicists for Victa lawn mowers in touch, and they are keen to share that scene as part of their promotion for the show and Victa's innovative history online and on social media. Foxtel's Head of Marketing for factual channels, George Mellick, cc'ed here, has supplied them with the clip along with another cut scene and the series promo.

George, Jack Czislowski is a lawn mower historian. Could you share the Home Life promo with Jack closer to launch and let him know about other materials that might be shareable through his network or on HISTORY's facebook page etc? Thank you.

Jack, here's a link to our latest promo which is running on HISTORY for the next couple of weeks.

Many thanks again for your support of the program and our great history of inventiveness!

Kind regards,
