Says Flying Doctor "was not a good television series". The Americans "were not the most proficient Americans". "Only flashes of it good from a writers point of view" see here

He was approached with the possibility of writing novels. 

Here [commercial radio] "for all its fault it had been Australian creative talent and I could see television was going to knock it out completely"

He wrote play Angry Flower done first in Germany then did Flying Doctor.   

Tower of Babble unpublished novel refers to incoming television (1950s)
