Told through vintage footage from the mid-1960s, the documentary explores the story of a young Barry Humphries and his life of growing up in Melbourne (1993)
Barry is the key to the lock of discovering who I am as an Australian. I was born in 1949, 74 years old now. But I remember the stolid culture of the 1950s as a child. He got it right in every detail. The leftovers of British Colonial culture, the ignorance of the authentic nature of this ancient land with its unique indigenous culture. Sad to lose him, wish I had met him. Watch “Barry McKenzie holds his own”, it is his best piece of art. Vale Bazza, mate.
I am now regretting Phillip Adam’s withdrawal from “Late Night Live”, his “Little Wireless Program” where he interviews authors of influential books, and Laura Tingle, the political commentator from 7:30 on the ABC. Thank you Mr Adams! How will I get to sleep now LNL is finishing?

The gentleman interviewing Barry is excellent. Not an easy person to interview. The whole thing is delightful.
