John Clarke introduced Kiwi audiences to farmer Fred Dagg in 1973 on current affairs show Gallery. Dagg continued making comical appearances on replacement programme Nationwide. The monologues and interviews with reporter Ian Fraser showcase Clarke's quick-fire improv skills. Highlights of the seven sketches include the first — with Dagg as a teacher rating students on their reviews of rugby almanacs — and Fraser grilling Dagg on his suspicious sheep count. It's not all Dagg; Clarke impersonates English media star David Frost (who'd recently visited NZ) and takes a dig at Wellington's army of public servants.
It's been lovely having you and believe me, I have...– John Clarke signs off his David Frost impersonation
