And Skippy the Kangarooh. And that doctor with Clarence, the cross eyed lion. See what you've done: Send me backwards down the channels.<br /><br />Lamas don't make good dogs. One once spat at me. And I thought to myself: If you, Lama, find yourself in a zoo don't expect little girls not to look at you. I didn't spit back. One has one's dignity.

I guess there was an endearing superficiality about it - as in "Gregory's Girl" for example. For me the best feature of this film was seeing a part of Australia that is seldom visited by camera crews.Yorkshire Puddinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06019673884543913089noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20303812.post-86777576577943043262012-05-01T23:25:43.737+00:002012-05-01T23:25:43.737+00:00Looking forward to seeing it but refuse to pay $28...Looking forward to seeing it but refuse to pay $28.00AUS at Woolworths to buy the DVD!JohnDhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00608216150220329902noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20303812.post-31222548019562715002012-05-01T22:43:09.120+00:002012-05-01T22:43:09.120+00:00Helsie
