Biography
Country Calendar veteran Frank Torley described Colin Follas as, "gregarious, enthusiastic, and above all a great mate." Joy Clark, who worked with him for many years in television, found him compassionate and caring for his crew. Farming guru Clive Dalton said Follas was "brilliant in front of a camera. They called him 'One Shot Follas' — he always got it right first time."
“He avoided the limelight, letting his stars and his teams take the credit. In the process, he inspired unusual trust and loyalty.”
