Just a quick content update:
I've added two new clippings to the Clippings page:
- Hard work and little pay for most child actors looks into the unfair pay that child actors received when compared to adults in the 80s, with Bartons ...
… to Bartons on the Web! This is the only C/o The Bartons fansite in the world! Whether you know it as The Bartons, Les Bartons, Los Barton or as Die 6 Bartons, this is the place to go for everything there is to know about the television series, the book and the film. Backgrounds, insights, interviews with cast and crew, trivia and more; it's all here!
A BIG thank you goes out to both Olivia Wenholz (née Harkin), who played Elly on the show; and Rosemary Smith, who played Anita. Together, they contributed tons of information, anecdotes and insights and the majority of the photos you can find on this site.
I could not have done this without you two and I'm happy and privileged to be able to call you my friends!
Finally, an equally BIG thank you goes out to Jocelyn Moorhouse for agreeing to an interview! I'm very grateful for that opportunity!
Enjoy yourself and let me know what's missing, wrong or (hopefully) right!

"Bartons on the Web" is an ode, a 'thank you' and a pedestal to the people that worked on and starred on one of the most underrated and often forgotten Australian children's drama series out there. Its goal is to give the show the love and attention it deserves, and aims to be the biggest resource on C/o The Bartons and all associated works available anywhere, online or offline.

Oh that Filming Locations page! I'm telling you: it haunts me in my dreams. There's just so much information to share, that I've been struggling on how to present it in a user friendly way ever since the page launched.
The previous iteration of the page ...
Page updates are a bit further apart nowadays because all the source material is pretty much on the site.
But I just found two pictures in my collection that I had not previously uploaded to the site (for unknown reasons). I added them for your enjoyment!

On 29 February 1988 at 5.00 PM sharp, the ABC in Australia broadcast the very first episode of our beloved series. And guess what? That means today is the show's official anniversary!

After being gone for well over a year, clippings have returned!
Not everything is back yet though, but still there's a nice selection with some great stories on Bartons, the actors and the 1987/1988 Australian television landscape (and Bartons' role in it).
At the moment, all of these clippings come ...
I've added a few photos to the Photos page for you to enjoy.
A few come from Rosemary's personal collection, two are from fellow Bartons fan Paul and a few are from my own collection.
Here's three of them:

It's been a full year, but bartonsontheweb.nl finally has a few clips again! Sorry it took so long!
You can find the clips in the episode guide. There's fourteen clips in total: one for each episode, the opening credits and one extra clip from Half-time (for long time visitors: no points ...
Thanks to The Henderson Kids II cast member Damian MacAlpine, I now have confirmation that "our" Michael O'Reilly was on that show. Not only that, Damian provided me with a set of screen captures with Michael on them. Thanks Damian!
Of course Michael's profile on the Cast ...

Here's hoping that this year is better than the last two were (although, strictly from a Bartons on the Web point of view, they weren't too bad, but you get what I mean, right?).
New content!
We start the year with a nice content update! If you scoot over to ...
