John Clarke’s final curtain call as last Clarke and Dawe episode released

The final episode in the decades-long satirical Clarke and Dawe series is released, following the sudden death of John Clarke earlier this month.

The previously unseen sketch was filmed at the ABC in Southbank on April 5, only days before Clarke died while bushwalking in Victoria.

It has been released with the permission of Clarke’s family and his long-time collaborator, Bryan Dawe.

Clarke always wrote two completely different scripts for the program each week, and he and Dawe would film both.

Clarke would then decide which episode would go to air.
