ELLE McFEAST (really known to her friends as Lisbeth Gorr) has signed a new co-production deal with the ABC. The new agreement calls on her to make four more specials this year and another project for next year, which has not yet been identified.

Gorr and her producer Mark FitzGerald have joined forces with independent producer John Eastway to work on the new shows. One of them is a sequel to the very popular and acclaimed "Breasts" documentary, which is scheduled to air on the ABC next month.

The commercial networks were all after her to bring ELLE McFEAST to their networks, but Gorr remained true to her beliefs and stayed with the only network that had shown faith in her from the beginning. Also, Gorr exhibited her goods (her shows, not her breasts) at a recent international film and television exhibition and has sold some of her specials to a number of countries around the world. That should put Australia on the map!
