Lion didn't know Roger had a part in 'Homocide'. All of the eps are still available on DVD from the Crawford website BTW. :)

Oh wow. Hendo, Climpson ... absolute staples on Oz network TV back in the day. Wonderful broadcaster. 93 years young. Vale Roger.

That was gripping. “Bastard” indeed. I’m afraid I also noticed how hairy Roger’s armpits were back in the 1960s.
