Clip description

Judith (Lindy Davies) coaxes Frank (John Hargreaves) and Malcolm (Colin Friels) to go for a walk. Malcolm wants Frank to explain how he gets the money in a stick-up, but the demonstration goes wrong. In the pub later, Frank’s friend Willy (Chris Haywood) can’t stop laughing. The barmaid (Heather Mitchell) tries not to join in.

Curator’s notes

by Paul Byrnes

Simply a very well-timed joke. Malcolm has a lot of them.
