This was a followed by a fascinating Q and A session, as colleagues and friends shared their own television watching experiences, and discussed some of the TV moments that were special to them.

Event TV explores a selection of television images from the 1920s to the present day, including Graham Kennedy, Norman Gunston, Roy and H.G. and Kath and Kim, We Can Be Heroes and Summer Heights High.

The book is based on Wendy's PhD thesis  which was completed in 2007.  Currently, Wendy is a lecturer with CQUniversity's Skills for Tertiary Education Preparatory Program (STEPS).

In 2010 she received a two-year Early Career Research Fellowship at CQUniversity to further her research into the television mockumentary. Wendy is part of the Learning and Teaching Education Research Centre (LTERC).
