| Quads series 2 |
|
| John Callaghan's animated comedy series centred around quadriplegic, recovering alcoholic, lapsed Catholic Reilly O'Reilly. He is a man who doesn't take to labels sitting down - not by
choice anyway. He and his differently abled friends find that sharing their lavish residence 'Maimed Manor' is a constant
battle with con-men, do-gooders and deviants - and then there is the outside world to deal with as well. Mark joined the second series of thirteen episodes and was the voice of lead character Spalding, Reilly's overtly gay, Australian physical therapist. Episodes: 11/11/02-03/02/03 SBS |
| The Way We Were: Frank Sinatra In Australia |
|
| Mark presented this one-off special chronicling the seven visits Frank Sinatra made to Australia and the relationship he had with the Press. Archival footage and home movie clips of Mark as a boy showed the way society has changed over the last five decades. Mark interviewed those connected with 'Ol' Blue Eyes', including Norman Erskine, who supported Sinatra's Rat Pack. Mark sang That's Life/Mack The Knife with Norman then special guest, Gina Riley joined them for That Old Black Magic. "The job requires a straighter approach as opposed to a stupid, camp approach. Bob is something that's more about satire whereas this was about talking to the people involved and singing 'straight'." - Mark Trevorrow. 06/10/02 ABC

| Celebrity Big Brother | |
|
Bob was the voice of Big Brother and also had a major influence on the design of the house. His own face hung on the wall, immortalised in a piece of pop art in the style of Andy Warhol. The painting was the centre of several in depth arty conversations between the celebrity housemates, even causing some to ponder the meaning of life! |
| When the show ended, the painting was auctioned and raised AU$3500 for charities including Ronald McDonald House and Starlight Children's Foundation Australia. 'Bobby Downehol'* is now (well) hung in Scotland. *christened by Julianna & shamelessly stolen by me! 21/07/02 Channel Ten |

With Kath's fiancé Kel, Kim's estranged husband Brett and her second best friend Sharon, they love to make mountains out of molehills and sows ears out of silk purses.

| The questions were tough. "What colour is blue?" | |

| Downe to the last two contestants and it was a nail biting finish. Not wanting to do the 'walk of shame' (his arse looked shocking in those pants), Bob pulled out all the stops. | |
