What happens

Ring of Scorpio is a 1990 Australian TV miniseries by Alan Bateman, Errol Sullivan and Kim Williams. It was made with assistance from the Film Finance Corporation Australia, BBC Television and the Nine Network. It was shot in Morocco, Spain, Sydney and Broken Hill. The casting of Americans Jack Scalia (who had recently completed a season-long role in Dallas) and Catherine Oxenberg (then best known for her role as Amanda on Dynasty), and Briton Caroline Goodall was indicative of a trend in Australian miniseries from the early 1990s to cast well-known foreign actors in leading roles to increase the potential appeal to international audiences.
