After 28 years, and one of the longest and most enduring partnerships on Australian television, Margaret Pomeranz and David Stratton recorded the final episode of At the Movies on December 9, 2014. Margaret and David, whose on-screen partnership is legendary, came to the ABC in 2004 from SBS, where they had hosted The Movie Show for the previous 18 years. Since their accidental pairing more than a quarter of a century ago, Margaret and David have grown to become Australia's most admired and trusted movie reviewers, as well as enjoying an envious reputation abroad. There are few actors or filmmakers who would refuse an interview with the intrepid pair, such is the regard in which they're held. "After 28 years reviewing films on television with Margaret, ten of them at the ABC, I feel it's time to go. We've had a wonderful time, thanks to very supportive and encouraging audiences, throughout that period. And we've worked with wonderful teams, both at SBS and at the ABC, people who discovered movies alongside us, helped and assisted us, and in the process became valued friends. We couldn't have done it without them. "Most of all, working with Margaret, whose enthusiasm, commitment and passion has been amazing (and only occasionally irritating) has been a joy for over a quarter of a century. But, since I turned 75, I look forward to less pressure and more opportunities to enjoy the movies I love, in the years ahead." says David. Margaret adds, "As David says, it's time to go from the small screen after a great innings, thanks to all our viewers and the fabulous teams we've worked with over the years. And thank you to the ABC and SBS. We've been lucky to work for two great public broadcasters, and long may they prosper. My gratitude goes to David who gave me credibility just by being prepared to sit by me and discuss film when I am just a film enthusiast, not the great walking encyclopedia of film that he is. He's a grand person, a most generous, decent man, even if a little stubborn at times." (Australian Broadcasting Corporation)
