I Had a Dream/Great Scott

Summary I Had A Dream: John Ribot, the former Superleague CEO, tells his own story for the first time. As the central figure in the greatest upheaval in the history of rugby league in Australia, Ribot talks openly about the impact of the game's great schism on himself, his family, friends and colleagues. Among those interviewed are Ribot's wife and son, who provide highly personal perspectives. Other contributors include former player Peter McWhirter and advertising guru John Singleton. At a time when rumours continue to fly about his past and future involvement with Superleague, and the nature of his role, John Ribot attempts to set the record straight. PLUS: Great Scott The hilarious and touching life and times of Dr. Margaret Scott, Tasmanian based academic, novelist and comedian. This is the story of an extraordinary woman who has realised her full potential late in life. A former Cambridge academic, Dr. Scott was "discovered" as a comedian when she appeared on an ABC "Great Debate" and was an enormous hit with a scene stealing performance, marked by perfect comic timing. "In the first debate I did, my knees were literally knocking and I had to hold onto the lecturn so the people wouldn't see I was shaking really violently". Margaret Scott lives in a former orchardist's homestead on the beautiful Tasman peninsula.
