TERRY GILL - Det.Insp Jack Grace

Terry Gill passed away on 25th February 2015 aged 75. after suffering with lung cancer.

For many years, Gill and his wife Carol Ann ran The Tivoli theatre restaurant in Melbourne, producing pantomimes and theatre shows featuring many well-known Australian performers. Together Terry and Carol Ann would open their own string of theatre-restaurants, writing, directing and producing shows at the Bull n Bush in Warrandyte, The Naughty Nineties in Hawthorn and the Tivoli in Malvern -with the latter also serving as the home of children’s pantomimes for decades. Over the years their casts have included, Ken James (Sons and Daughters' Mike O'Brien), Colette Mann (Prisoner's Doreen Anderson/Burns) and Lisa Crittenden (Prisoner's Maxine Daniels).

Terry would write the shows — borrowing heavily for the pantomimes from traditional stories, he penned 13 pantomimes of his own. 

Just for fun.... based on the pantomime story-line featured in Prisoner in episode 165 here is our poster for the prisoner's own version of Cinderella.
