Thanks Fozzie!
For those who don't know about Tim he is one of the most respected photographers from the Vitenam war...had numerous books published and was the main character in the movie, "Frankie's House". (I think that was the movies title).

I forget the name of the actor who portrayed him. He moved to Australia a few years ago and I think he lectures at one of the Uni's in Perth. Some of his photographs have become iconic.

You are right Matt. Frankie’s House was made for TV in 1992 and starred Iain Glen as Tim Page and Kevin Dillon as Sean Flynn.

Tim Page gave up war photojournalism after his friend Sean Flynn (son of Errol Flynn) went missing is Laos(!)

This programme is fascinating.

The 6:30 Friday ABC interview programme is excellent - the interviewer is first class and they have had some great subjects.

Tim Page was very interesting, it was a riveting half hour of TV.
