When Adam meets Peter

ABC's Talking Heads meets journalist Adam Shand who spent 3 years mixing with the drug-dealers, thugs and murderers of Melbourne's underbelly.

02Next Monday on Talking Heads Peter Thompson (pictured) is joined journalist Adam Shand, who spent three years investigating Melbourne’s  underworld war for Sunday and The Bulletin magazine.

Despite never having written about crime, Shand promised his media bosses he’d crack the story of Melbourne’s gangland murders.

Shortly after Jason Moran was shot dead in front of his young children at a football ground, Shand ventured into the inner circle… mixing with the drug-dealers, the thugs and the murderers.

What did he make of the men who would be portrayed in the TV series Underbelly? And what effect did this journey into the criminal badlands have on Shand himself?

Talking Heads airs 6:30pm Monday May 25 on ABC1 and will be repeated on ABC2 – Tuesday, May 26 at 5:00pm
