4.2 Bernie Clifton’s Dressing Room
In 2006, comedy double act Tommy Cannon and Bobby Ball gave an interview to The Independent reminiscing about their stage and TV career. In their 1980s heyday, the pair had a serious falling-out, something “every double act goes through,” said Ball, “it’s like a marriage”. The piece concluded with Ball’s bittersweet line, “We've become really like brothers now. It's sad to say, but I'll bury him or he'll bury me.”
It probably wasn’t—Inside No.

“The organizers of the International Film Festival of Kerala (Iffk) have decided to have Australians serving as chairperson of the main jury for two years in succession – Bruce Beresford last year and Paul Cox this year. It is instructive to note that while there was some space for aborigines in Beresford’s films, there has been practically none in Cox’s body of work.”
Year – 1987. Even as ‘white’ Australia was preparing to celebrate 200 years of white settlement, the oppression of aborigines – the original inhabitants of the continent – continued apace. The oppression is naked and heartless in outback settlements, but exists in subtler forms in Australian towns and cities. I have in one of my scrapbooks an agency report dating back to that year which speaks of a high court judge who wept as he listened to harrowing accounts of racism and denial of justice to aborigines in a remote New South Wales community.
