“He has the ability to view dramas normally. That is the main philosophy for Neighbor , which at that time contradicted the melodramatic and exaggerated grain of television soap operas. He elevates suburban life into a drama that captivates millions.” Reg Grundy understands how to use publicity to grow an audience.

During his tenure there Watson oversaw the creation of one of Britain’s most iconic soap operas, the Midlands-set junction . Returning to Australia, Watson became head of drama at Reg Grundy Productions and oversaw the company’s prolific drama boards, including Young Doctors (1976-1983), Glenview High (1977), The Restless Years (1977-1981), captive (1979-1986), Son and Daughter (1981-1987) and Neighbor (1985-present).

This month, two rockets were heard to be launched from Australia, carrying out experiments to determine whether the ultraviolet light emitted by stars from the Alpha Centauri system is detrimental to potential life on planets around them. The study will also reveal how typical – or abnormal – the sun is. Alpha Centauri consists of two main stars, Alpha Centauri A and Alpha Centauri B (which form a binary pair), as well as a third star, Proxima Centauri, which is only 4.3 light-years away. While no planets have been detected positively orbiting Alpha Centauri A or B, if they do exist, the ultraviolet radiation from their stars may have a significant impact on whether or not they support life. The right amount of ultraviolet light can break down simple organic molecules, such as methane, prompting molecular fragments to reshape the more complex molecules necessary for life. On the other hand, too much ultraviolet could separate out water vapor, make it escape from the plane...
