Lowdown is an eight-part comedy series set in the world of celebrity and tabloid journalism. Co-written by AFI award-winners Amanda Brotchie and Adam Zwar who also stars in the series. Lowdown shines a torch on the life of a man whose job it is to feed the public's insatiable appetite for celebrity gossip. Based loosely on events from his former career as a showbiz journalist, Adam Zwar (Wilfred, Valentine's Day) stars as Alex Burchill, the Lowdown gossip columnist for Australia's tabloid newspaper - the Sunday Sun. Alex interviews high profile celebrities for his column, some willingly, others not so.
