World city research concerned with connectivity has tended to focus on advanced producer service firms and on selected North American and European cities; the prevailing methodology has been quantitative. In this article I answer the call to 'go beyond counting' by bringing together a project-based enquiry - on a TV mini-seriesMary Bryant- with a more conventional assessment of network connectivity. The inclusion of a practice-centred approach to this case study adds the performative data to the network, highlighting the actions and processes of those involved in maintaining the city networks. Furthermore, I demonstrate how this method of analysis is more suited to the study of project-based cultural industries and highlight the role of Sydney in the global television industry - a city hitherto under-explored in world city literature
