5. From Then To Now - Mike Whitney

In episode five of From Then To Now, we chat with former Australian cricketer and popular television popularity, Mike Whitney. Whitney was plucked from relative obscurity to play for Australia and then became one of its greatest characters. He also turned his talents to the small screen, hosting a number of popular shows including Gladiators and Who Dares Wins. We caught up with Whitney in this bumper edition to chat about the luck that went into his cricketing career, his hilarious encounter with Dennis Lillee, what really happened in shooting that Toohey's ad and how he got into the television industry.
