Jane Kennedy and Rob Sitch are two of Australian comedy’s most recognizable stars, known for their time on the hit ABC series Frontline in the 1990s.
Frontline was a satire on TV current affairs shows, with Sitch playing dimwitted anchor Mike Moore and Kennedy playing aspiring reporter Brooke Vandenberg.
Sitch, 61, was casually chic in a black velvet blazer with a simple T-shirt, blue jeans and sneakers.
The couple, who have been married for decades, share five children, including son Joshua Sitch who starred in Little Lunch on the ABC.
Three decades have passed since Frontline first aired on the ABC.
The show took viewers behind the scenes of a fictional current affairs program and is fondly remembered for its sharp satire of television tabloid news.

Frontline is made by Working Dog Productions – the company behind cult films The Castle and The Dish as well as Channel 10 panel show Have You Been Paying Attention? — and ran for three seasons from 1994 to 1997.
Sitch starred as Mike Moore, Frontline’s main anchor who considers himself a serious journalist, but is really a self-centered blockhead with no knowledge of current affairs.
Since the end of the series, Sitch has continued to work as an actor, director, producer, and screenwriter on Working Dog.
His recent TV credits include the Australian comedy program Utopia (2014), for which he was the lead actor, producer, writer and creator.

In 2016, he also co-created and starred in the animated comedy series Pacific Heat.
Sitch reprized his Frontline character Mike Moore in 2014 during a short skit on ABC’s Friday Night Crack Up.
Jane played Brooke Vandenberg, an ambitious and publicity-hungry reporter who never let the truth get in the way of a good story.
A founding member of Working Dog Productions, Kennedy has enjoyed a varied career as an actor, producer, writer, and radio host since Frontline.
Jane still appears regularly as a panellist and quizmaster on Have You Been Paying Attention?
