1 form y separately published work icon Barlow and Chambers : A Long Way From Home Dadah is Death Bill Kerby , ( dir. Jerry London ) Sydney United States of America (USA) : Roadshow Coote and Carroll Steve Krantz Productions Nine Network , 1988 Z1828853 1988 series - publisher film/TV

Television mini-series that dramatises the arrest, conviction for drug trafficking, and execution of Australians Kevin Barlow and Geoff Chambers.

Moran, in his Guide to Australian TV Series, suggests that Barlow and Chambers 'is less interesting than its two fictional successors, Ring of Scorpio and Bangkok Hilton', in part, he suggests, because 'at the time more than 60 per cent of the Australian public was unsympathetic to their predicament'.

Moran also notes that the mini-series--which 'set Barlow up as the innocent victim at the expense of Chambers, who emerges as the shadowy and villainous figure'--drew criticism from the families of both the deceased.
