Barry Humphries has entertained audiences for over 50 years with his insighful and often provocative brand of humour. In Flashbacks, Barry plays ‘tour guide’ as he charts the evolution of Australia from the fastidious fifties to the extravagant eighties. Joining Barry are his best-known comic creations; Dame Edna Everage, Sir Les Patterson and Sandy Stone. Dame Edna bestows wisdom on social etiquette, fashion and much more. Sir Les talks politics, the sexual revolution and his friendships with those at the top, while Sandy Stone ponders nervous breakdowns, the arrival of television and Australia's own lamington. Flashbacks is freshly illustrated with rare archival footage and features popular music from each of the decades. Barry's special spin on our history delivers hilarious insights into what it was – and is – to be Australian.
