Better pop Dame Edna in for E to represent the women. But if its meant to be all men the. Geoffrey Edelstene may be a notorious inclusion!

Thanks, all. I originally started it as a list of Australian nature film/documentary makers, but it's too hard to make an entire alphabet out of them - and some very interesting names have popped up anyway!

In retrospect, 'Dick Smith' might have thrown people off the track. I had a feeling he had made a few documentaries, but I might have that wrong.
