Writer/comedian David McPhail's television resume is that of a genuine stayer. Working often with Jon Gadsby, his longtime comic partner in crime, McPhail co-starred - and famously impersonated Sir Rob Muldoon - in landmark 70s sketch shows A Week of It and McPhail and Gadsby; and in the Barry Crump-style yarns of Letter to Blanchy. In 2005 McPhail starred in the un-PC Seven Periods with Mr Gormsby.
I’m an optimist; I can’t afford not to be.
– David McPhail
