Death is not a very funny subject. Yet, comedian, writer and musician Eric Idle has spent 60 years showing us the funny side of our all-too-fleeting lives. The Monty Python member has toured Australia with his show Always Look on the Bright Side of Life, Live! He's also written a book about the creation of his musical, Spamalot.

Also, we visit Australia's Back to Back Theatre, which has been delighting audiences with shows performed and devised by an ensemble of artists who are neurodivergent or living with a disability, and Torres Strait Islander dancer, actor and theatre maker Ghenoa Gela shares the artworks that take pride of place on her Top Shelf.
