Episode #28, 'Eye Witness'. Just letting you know that this rather convoluted story mainly set in Hurstbridge includes an Aboriginal character, unnamed - a 'black tracker' who is helping the police track down a soldier who has killed his wife - at some point there's a conversation about contacting the Broadmeadows (!) police station to find one. Here he is:
The dead woman's daughter is sent out by her grandmother to get help when they are bailed up by the gunman. He shoots at her but by good luck she comes across the police and the 'black tracker'. He doesn't get involved in the tough stuff, just holds her close while the police disarm the gunman.
But guess who plays him? Yeah, I don't know either, as he is not listed in the credits. I'd almost go so far as to say he's noticeably absent from the credits since they're usually three-to-a-screen, and in this case, they're very obviously light-on. The only (not at all acceptable) reason for not putting his name in the credits is that he doesn't have a speaking role - and he doesn't, because even though the character speaks, the words are clearly overdubbed. TBF most of the filmed sections in the show are overdubbed, if there's any dialogue at all, which there usually isn't. Oh and by the way I like Leonard Teale, but...
If you were a child hiding under a house and this appeared before you, would you feel reassured? Only if you really loved Luna Park.
