Welcome to Paul's
Articles Page.
This page is a compilation of articles to do with one of the fabulous three,
Paul McDermott. To see stuff on the rather tricky Richard
Fidler or the extremely rare Tim Ferguson,
click on their names.
In case you've stumbled upon this page by accident, Paul, Richard & Tim were
part of the comedy trio The Doug Anthony Allstars from 1985 to 1994. Some of
their work gets shown on Rupert Murdoch's cable television service - as part
of Daas Kapital, The Big Gig , or Vive Caberat.
Sources have been acknowledged wherever possible, but since these orginate from clippings, it's hard to track them down.
If you feel it neccessary to mirror these articles on your own page,
or to save them and print them out, please acknowledge the hard work that
other people have done in scanning/typing these articles for everyone's
benefit.
