Totally agree with that observation. I have met him a couple of times in Sydney and enjoyed the conversations finding him a fun guy. He knew that City were in the Premier League when the subject of sport in Hull came up in one meeting between us. Have seen a couple of his films incuding the latest " The Water Diviner" which features Australian WW1 action in Gallipoli in 1915 and brought out for the centenary year of that campaign.
