Tonights episode of Clarke and Dawe should be interesting as well:
“In Memory Of John Clarke (1948-2017) we revisit a classic episode of Clarke & Dawe as chosen by John Clarke’s family.”
If it’s the the front end fell off episode I’m going to burst into tears immediately (well I probably will anyway).
