O Bibliotecário 2.0 já tinha falado da série The Librarians, mas volto a trazer aqui este assunto porque segundo um e-mail que recebi através de um fórum de bibliotecários, na Austrália os bibliotecários, em especial os que trabalham em bibliotecas públicas, reunem-se para ver ou discutir os episódios.
Ao que parece esta série está a fazer com que os bibliotecários voltem a reflectir sobre as questões do estereótipo da profissão e iniciem alguns processos de mudança face aos leitores e à sociedade em geral.
Esta série estreou no canal australiano ABC na semana passada e ao que parece foi um sucesso imediato.
The humble suburban library takes on a whole new meaning in the ABC TV's new comedy-drama The Librarians, which starts production in Melbourne on March 5.
A co-production between ABC TV and Gristmill Pty Ltd, The Librarians is the brainchild of actors/writers Robyn Butler and Wayne Hope. Married in real life, Butler and Hope will also star in the production.
The six-part series centres on the trials and tribulations of Frances O'Brien, a devout Catholic and head librarian. Her life unravels when she is forced to employ her ex-best friend, Christine Grimwood - now a drug dealer - as the children's librarian. Frances must do all she can to contain her menacing past and concentrate on the biggest event of the library calendar - Book Week.
The Librarians will also star Roz Hammond (The Micallef Programme, Welcher & Welcher), Bob Franklin (BoyTown, The Extra, The Craic), Kim Gyngell (The Comedy Company, Love and Other Catastrophes), Kate Kendall (Stingers), Heidi Arena (Thank God You're Here, Blue Heelers), Stephen Ballantyne (Corpse Bride) and newcomers Josh Lawson (BoyTown, Blue Heelers) and Keith Brockett.
"We are thrilled to be making The Librarians. With 25,000 books on set we have fabricated the perfect excuse to extend our summer reading, added to which, the children's library is very handy for cheap childcare, " said Robyn.
Hope, who will direct all six episodes, is a seasoned performer with feature films such as BoyTown and many television roles including Stupid Stupid Man, Crashburn and TheMicallef rogramme to his credit.
ABC TV's Executive Producer for Drama Miranda Dear added: "It's great to be working with such a dynamic comic team. With this series they bring their acute eye for social satire to bear on the world of the library in the most surprising ways. Borrowing a book may never seem as safe again."
Os episódios completos podem ser vistos na página da ABC.

Promete ser interessante... espero que a moda do grafitti não pegue por cá :-) ou aquelas criancinhas... Uff
Mas acho que se poderia contribuir com episódios para a 2ª série, baseados em Oeiras, que tal...? ;-) e convidar os guionistas e restante equipa a filmar cá por estas bandas... há material! Um sucesso!
bjs
Grafitti e criancinhas daquelas espero que não! Podemos sempre tomar a iniciativa de enviar algumas propostas de guiões :-) Seria com toda a certeza um enorme sucesso ou não fosse o mundo das bibliotecas e dos bibliotecários muito rico.

... coadjuvado com excelentes leitores...! Adrenalínicos! Adrenalinizantes! Como os de hoje.
Definitivamente as bibliotecas estão longe se serem os locais monótonos, mortiços e silenciosos dos outros tempos. ;-) Que tal "Plantão de Leitores" para a edição portuguesa? hehehehe
O dia de hoje foi muito agitado... felizmente que não acontece todos os dias! Também voto no "Plantão de Leitores"! :-)
