I bought this DVD set because I happened to see Barry Humphries speak on stage one day many years ago. It was then that I realised that this bloke is a national treasure. If you have only seen Barry as Dame Edna think again. This is not some cheap crass female impersonator this is a diamond that from a distance looks like all the glittering pieces of glass but this guy is the real deal. He can see the herd, the bumbling fools of government and society that have guided us to where we are now in Australia - a fools paradise soon to disappear. In this excellent four era presentation ie. the 50s, 60's, 70,s and 80,s you will see a fantastic selection of media outtakes from film and newsreel that if you are an Australian you will remember. Classic real Australian History with a clear and hilarious perspective narrated by Humphries. Get it, watch it and keep it. In and era where your history is being sold to the highest bidder here is a bargain artefact that can make you laugh and when you realise where we are now probably cry.Read full review
