It was made for Presto short-form series and produced by up-and coming writer, director and actor Matilda Brown, the daughter of iconic Australian actor Bryan Brown who also stars in the program along with Matilda’s co-star, Richard Davies (Offspring).

Each 3 to 6 minute episode of Let’s Talk About focuses on a particular subject during the nine months of pregnancy resulting in great entertainment that is engaging, informative, cheeky and funny.

Let’s Talk About revolves around Claire (played by Matilda Brown) and Ben (Richard Davies) who have only recently started dating and now discover that Claire is pregnant. Their predicament means there are some conversations they just can’t avoid, no matter how painful, and this series explores them.

The series also stars Lisa Hensley (Brides of Christ, Dating the Enemy) as Claire’s mother, while Bryan Brown (Cocktail, Australia, Two Hands) plays her on-screen father. Also featuring in the series are Steve Le Marquand (Rake, Underbelly) as a surf shop owner and Bruce Spence (Legend of the Seeker, Cloudstreet) as a father of three with one on the way.

We’re sure subscribers will be talking about it for a long time.”
