Synopsis

Kim Hill interviews comic writer and performer John Clarke at his home in Melbourne. Clarke talks about the creation of his iconic Fred Dagg character in New Zealand some 30 years ago - with his black singlet, a hat given to Clarke by his sister and some torn-off trousers from the TVNZ wardrobe department. Clarke also discusses the NZ and Australian sense of humour, his work across the ditch on TV shows such as The Games and The 7.30 Report, and on films with his production company Huntaway Films (with friend and fellow Kiwi Sam Neill).
