Nine’s In Melbourne Tonight returns for its sixth year.
To commemorate the Australia Day public holiday, the ABC special The Bloke pays tribute to the late Australian poet CJ Dennis, including interviews with his friends, peers and biographer. The program also features re-enactments of two poems from The Sentimental Bloke — “The Intro” and “Mar”. The Bloke was scripted and narrated by Kit Denton (father of Andrew Denton) and included performances by actors Ken Goodlet, Margherita Keane, Agnes Dobson, Wynn Roberts and James Lynch.
