Watched the ABC tribute to John last night and I can't help feeling that they short-changed the man. He was a comedic giant and an unparalleled satirist.

 

In their defence, I guess the ABC was under time pressure to produce and release the programme within a week or so of his passing. Top marks for obtaining the interview with his daughters. However there must be a mountain of video material featuring John and I feel the show gave us a sketch rather than a portrait.


I agree. I was left wanting more.

 

They kept saying how great he was, but showed very little of his skits.
