'This article accompanies a ‘Dagg-liography’ that for the first time records the full scope of John Clarke’s comedy output for the New Zealand Broadcasting Corporation (NZBC) in the years 1973–1980, during which time Clarke moved to Australia. The authors outline the aims and purpose of their research and the challenges that had to be overcome in compiling an accurate list of what in some cases was very ephemeral work. Technical characteristics of the items are summarised here but commentary on the nature of Clarke’s individual performances is included in the Dagg-liography rather than in the body of this article.'
