A tribute to the work of outstanding features maker and ABC
broadcaster Tony Barrell who died earlier this year.

Tony was without doubt a great original, and his contribution to the
ABC has been extraordinary, as a journalist, as documentary maker in
both radio and TV, as producer of wonderfully creative and
entertaining radio features, and as writer and producer of drama. He
worked across many areas of the ABC, from 2JJ, to TV, to Radio
National and writing for The Drum. The breadth of his achievement and
the scope of his restless curiosity was enormous. He leaves a
remarkable legacy.

This program dips into his work from across all those years, from the
late 70's at 2JJ with Sunday Afternoon at the Movies,through his
long-standing interest in Japan and things Japanese, to the Prix
Italia winning program Tokyo's Burning. Tony's thoughts about his work
and the radio feature are captured in interview with academic and
broadcaster Eurydice Aroney.
