Laugh-out-loud anecdotes from "behind the scenes" in the ABC newsroom.
Richard Morecroft is a familiar face in homes throughout Australia, "from the waist up". Now, in this collection of funny stories and anecdotes, Richard reveals what goes on behind the scenes (and beneath the desk!) in the ABC newsroom.

After 20 years behind the news desk, it's time for Richard Morecroft to stand up and show us what he's been hiding all these years!
