- Mockumentary

Fans of Fred Dagg have described this 1974 Country Calendar episode as the farmer's finest half-hour. Dagg's creator John Clarke felt the same way. Whether visiting the city or touring the farm, trailed by his family of identically-clad Trevors, Clarke adapts effortlessly to the relaxed approach of the long-running agricultural show. John Banas provides comedic support as the Trevor who can't fix a hose. Clarke took the mockumentary approach to new heights after moving to Australia, with The Games and his fake Clarke & Dawe interviews with Bryan Dawe.
