A treasure trove of endless laughter with some of Australia's funniest performers. The seminal wog comedy Acropolis Now features George Kapiniaris, Simon Palomares and Nick Giannopoulos. Maurie Fields heads up Bobby Dazzler, with John [he was Johnny then!] Farnham as his long-suffering son.

Special

From the 60's time capsule of Showcase, to a loving celebration of Australia's iconic cop show in the Homicide Special [watch for Bud Tingwell, perhaps our country's most beloved performer, as the doggedly persistent Inspector Lawson]. And for a visual overview of the entire output of Crawfords Australia, The Crawfords Story is essential viewing.
