Jack Irish: Bad Debts
by Andrew Knight; dir. Jeffrey Walker (ABC, 2012)
A telemovie crime drama steeped in the seedier aspects of Australian city life (lent verisimilitude by accents and cultural quirks). Guy Pearce is competent but understated in the lead role. Two of the world’s great Colins—Hay and Friels—play bad guys.

Colin Hay took to the stage sans band, armed only with the gift of the Scottish gab, his undiminished singing voice and a selection of acoustic guitars. A night to remember! Highlights included ‘Are You Looking At Me?’, ‘Agatha Bell’, and ‘Overkill’.
Colin Hay – Waiting For My Real Life
dir. Aaron Faulls & Nate Gowtham (2015)
A made-with-love documentary charting Colin Hay’s rise to international stardom with Men at Work and then, more comprehensively, his reinvention as an acoustic solo artist. Features a wide range of interviewees and numerous snippets of musical performance. An engaging story, well told.
