Gardening identity Peter Cundall, age 94. Spent almost 60 years on talkback radio and tv, and then he's gone, just like that.

I watched In the Heat of the Night fairly recently on FTA, good flick. I also remember reading and watching To Sir With Love in High School.

Being a northern suburbs lad we were in the same boat.

1984 was a year 9 or 10 book from memory.

We had My Brother Jack, a shitload of Shakespeare, Pygmalion and Empire of the Sun in year 12
