Bernice Waverley
Bernice Waverley is a fictional character from the Australian drama series ''City Homicide'', played by Noni Hazlehurst. She made her first screen appearance in the pilot episode "In The Hands Of Giants Pt 1", which was broadcast on 28 August 2007. Casting Hazlehurst signed up for a part in ''City Homicide'', after learning that series would have a strong ensemble cast. She told Erin McWhirter of ''The Courier-Mail'' "I like the idea of the regular cast and the reasons dramas have failed is because they haven't assembled a group of well-known people. They will have one but when you look at six faces and you only know or like one you have to really like that one person to watch." Hazlehurst initially commuted from Queensland to Melbourne for filming, before moving to the latter city when she found the travelling too much. Development Hazlehurst admitted that she was intrigued by the chance to play a strong female character, who was in an executive position within the police force a ...

Fictional Australian Police Detectives
Fiction is any creative work, chiefly any narrative work, portraying individuals, events, or places that are imaginary, or in ways that are imaginary. Fictional portrayals are thus inconsistent with history, fact, or plausibility. In a traditional narrow sense, "fiction" refers to written narratives in prose often referring specifically to novels, novellas, and short stories. More broadly, however, fiction encompasses imaginary narratives expressed in any medium, including not just writings but also live theatrical performances, films, television programs, radio dramas, comics, role-playing games, and video games. Definition Typically, the fictionality of a work is publicly marketed and so the audience expects the work to deviate in some ways from the real world rather than presenting, for instance, only factually accurate portrayals or characters who are actual people. Because fiction is generally understood to not fully adhere to the real world, the themes and context ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Historically, city-dwellers have been a small proportion of humanity overall, but following two centuries of unprecedented and rapid urbanization, more than half of the world population now lives in cities, which has had profound consequences for g ...
