"DAD AND DAVE"
Sir,-I was glad to read in Open Mic‘rophone (February 5) that we may not yet have heard the last of Dad and _Dave. It is easily the best serial to have come from Australia; and in spite of its .long life, and some inevitable changes in the cast, it has kept its interest and has even succeeded in reaching the standards of a folk story. The characters are exaggerated versions of people that are known in New Zealand as well as in Australia. I think, too, the serial shows how much longer we can be interested in human and credible situations than in a succession of breathless escapes and impossible adventures.
