Whicker's World

Living With Waltzing Matilda: Part Five (18x5)

Fecha de emisión: Feb 07, 1988

Beautiful people abound in Sydney, and more than a few exotic blooms are on display at Lady Primrose Potter's fancy dress ball, where Diana "Bubbles" Fisher, society columnist and daughter-in-law of a former Archbishop of Canterbury, chronicles proceedings attired as Brunhilde. Then there is the annual Sleaze Ball where 6,000 gays in this, the gayest of cities, pogo through the night to the laser lighting of Jeff Hardy, who once decked the displays at Fortnum and Mason. But first Alan Whicker meets the man who migrated 12,000 miles from East Ham - to become a dustman - and the orphan abandoned in a Cumbrian workhouse 50 years ago who is now an Australian cabinet minister.
