The creators of Packed To The Rafters are to share the story of how they created the drama juggernaut at Mumbrella360.

Writer Bevan Lee and Seven’s head of drama John Holmes will tell the story of how Packed To The Rafters, now in its fifth series, came together. They will explore the reasons for the show’s success, discuss what other TV networks and programs can learn from the model, and talk about what the future holds for the show.

As well as Packed To The Rafters, the duo’s other other recent creation is lottery drama Winners & Loser along with the forthcoming A Place To Call Home. Lee also wrote the first episode of Home & Away.

Holmes has executive produced series including Blue Heelers, Home and Away, All Saints, Packed to the Rafters and Winners & Losers.
