AbstractHistoryArchive Description
'This is a book for adults; for yesterday's children who grew up watching John on Play School. They called him Funny John but couldn't help wondering why Mum, chuckling away, preferred to think of him as Naughty John. This is not only the story of John Hamblin's memorable 28 years of creating havoc on ABC-TVs Play School, but his years in theatre and on television in England and Australia as well.'
