I listened to the return of radio personality, John Laws, after his much-publicised second heart attack, and did not shave or shower until 9.00 a.m. I left at ten past ten to do some shopping after having listened to him interview English actor, Robin “Doctor In The House”/”Doctor At Sea” etcetera Nedwell. It was a quarter past eleven before I returned and watched the remainder of Channel Seven’s “11 A.M.”, presented by Steve Liebmann.
At noon, “The Mike Walsh Show” had Jimmy Hannan as its guest host. Helen Wellings, an agent for the Department of Consumer Affairs, told of how she was a school teacher for two years in Victoria.

Afterwards, the diminutive comedian, Sean Kramer, appeared as an Irish spy.
