Kill and Cure
Kill and Cure is a 1971 Australian television play. It was a pilot for a proposed thriller anthology series The Shockers that was not picked up but which aired as a stand-alone production. It aired in Melbourne on 27 January 1971 along with a number of pilots for series, including The Group, Catwalk, The Undertakers, and The Chris Kirby Show.[1] (On Sydney on 25 January it aired along with another pilot E Force One.) Jim Oswin, General Manager of ATN-7, said "we are going to make them and we are going to play them. Then the network is going to sit back and take a good, critical look at them. And we want viewers to do the same."[2] It was shot at Channel Seven's studio in Epping. ReceptionThe Age felt it was too unsubtle and derivative.[3] The Sun Herald felt the series would have to come up with something better if it was to be greenlit.[4] The Seven Network reportedly authorised "three or four" more episodes.[5] PremiseTwo doctors working in a mental asylum in France experiment on patients. One of them turns into a monster. Cast
