So unfair
Some of you have asked why Spirited ended the way it did. The answer is, it wasn't meant to. The show was cancelled in its prime by a hateful man called Brian Walsh, despite being loved by millions. The third series was written and I was due to fly out to Oz when he pulled the plug. The prick. MK 💜

Season three started two years after the end of S2 and Suzy was married but could only think of Henry who disappeared from her life as quickly as he'd appeared. Meanwhile Henry had found a way to travel. I remember that now because Jacq said to me "Oh, the places we're going to take him!".

Here's a little treat for you Spirited fans. The documentary we made about Henry Mallet's life. Think it was a DVD extra when they were a thing. Directed by @justinkurzel. I'll post another little treat later. Something to warm the cockles. It's 'orrible out there. MK 💜

Don't. I really wish I was in Tamaramah right now. A $19 dollar smoothie in my hand and overlooking Bondi with the sun on my skin. Ready to start filming Season 3. Oh, how little I appreciated it at the time. Magical times. But I have this odd feeling we haven't seen the last of Spirited. MK 💜

In case you missed it. Here's the uncut version of Wandsworth USA. Filmed at The Red Rattler in Sydney. The crowd were invited to come dressed for a punk gig by a new UK band. They weren't told it was being filmed for a TV show called Spirited. What a fucking rush. MK 🩵

Here's another one (not the best quality) for you Spirited fans. I think this is from Henry's "solo project" & was used when Henry and Suzy were dancing without touching in the ballroom of The Elysian. I could be wrong. It's been a while and I haven't watched it. MK 💜

Sigh
This is a beautiful song "sung" by me (spoken really) but written and composed by the incomparable Jed Kurzel who wrote all the original tracks for the show, including Wandsworth USA.
I love that but personally, a daily playing of Ballad is more my speed. That said, you definitely missed the boat on being a punk rocker. But this one gives me all the feels.

This is the genius behind all the original music in Spirited. Wandsworth USA, the ballad etc. He's off in Hollywood these days but I couldn't have played Henry without this guy and his incredible generosity and kindness teaching me to "sing" and writing everything from classic punk to ballads. MK 💜

YES! I've been vying that job for years.They need to win back their viewers and I'd make a fucking fantastic Doctor Who. A charismatic and funny, time travelling, well-dressed punk who will resonate with kids & adults alike? Hmm. Where have I seen that before? @doctorwho.bsky.social
Dunno.

Too soon. Too young. This is a sad day. We've lost an actual genius and a man with an adventurous, mischievous, often warped (in a good way) and artistic soul. RIPDL. MK 💜

@thatmattkingfella.bsky.social Started watching Spirited a few days ago. Not seen you in anything else (sorry). Thought I was watching Doctor Who there for a minute. Why haven’t you been offered that job? Baffling. You look just how I imagine him in my head.

No but I did get pneumonia and end up in hospital on an oxygen machine after dancing outside all night for three nights straight in Peckham (London) in the pissing rain in the middle of fucking November. True story. MK 🩵
Haha 😁 Hope you got danger money

A quarter of a century ago this year my missus and I nearly died in a car crash. Six weeks later I did this gig on national television in Australia. I was so medicated I have precisely no memories of this entire show. Afterwards I was back in bed for another month. MK 🩵

I mean fuck it. Who would even do this? But you know what? It's 2025 and I'm coming out. I played this much beloved character for 15 years of my life and I love and hate him in equal measure. But I can't make him go away so this year I'm embracing him. The prick.
