Book review - "There Goes What's-is-Name" by Noel Ferrier

 Entertaining look at Ferrier's career. It helps he was a director and entrepreneur as well as an actor.

I was surprised how much he'd done. I was more familiar with Ferrier as a person on Blankety Blanks and Mr Character Actor, but he hosted a variety show, directed, was in the original production of Summer of the Seventeenth Doll. That's all pretty cool. He struggled with booze for a time.

He's an excellent raconteur. Talks a lot about David Williamson, Tim Burstall, etc. Very little on his TV plays work. Praises Jeff Underhill.
