Fraser - John Clarke interview

Television (Excerpts) – 1994

Impossible.
– John Clarke reacts to Ian Fraser remembering a 1974 Fred Dagg interview as "frivolous"
Yes, we speak of little else.
– John Clarke on Australian reaction to the Royal soap opera surrounding the state of Prince Charles and Princess Diana's marriage
Have Kiwi Knights had their day? Have Kiwi Dames done their dash?
– Presenter Ian Fraser introduces the topic of Australasia warming to the idea of republicanism
Yes, although you're using the word "studied" in there for the rhythm, I think.
– John Clarke confirms that he once did some law courses at Victoria University
...I'm not going to go and get all dressed up, and carry on as if it's the old days, but I would like to somehow get some of that old material, and have a look at it and have a think about those times, and perhaps do some kind of compilation or something — but not a tour, and not me being Fred Dagg ... over a period everything changes, and it's absolute folly to go back. I've never been interested in looking back or down — just keep moving you know.
– John Clarke talks about revisiting the old days of Fred Dagg, two decades later
