For as long as he can remember Julian Mather has wanted one job and one job only: David Attenborough's. But as Mr Attenborough showed no sign of vacating the position, and Julian's high school career was less than stellar he decided to try something different.
And while military sniper seemed like a good idea at the time, a job as an ABC TV cameraman seemed a less life-threatening career option --- at least that's what Julian thought.
From filming explosions in Los Alamos, to harrowing car journeys in Kosovo, from performing magic tricks for kids to hanging from cliffs and helicopters with his camera on his shoulder, he goes from one exciting and perilous adventure to another.
And then there's the people he meets along the way: care workers and strippers, refugees and nuclear scientists, and the many wonderful and peculiar character he works with, both in the outback and the corridors of that great national institution, the ABC. It's a bloody great job, even if it is the second best job in the world.
SECOND BEST JOB IN THE WORLD is a funny and entertaining look at the life of an extremely likeable TV cameraman who really has been everywhere, and done everything.
