In 1964, Malcolm Douglas, then just 23 years old, and a mate, set off on a six-month trip around Australia. Six months turned into four years. It was a journey that shaped Malcolm's future. And as they travelled and explored, they filmed their adventures.[2] The Film later turned into the documentary 'Across the Top', Which still holds the rating record for a documentary on Australian television.[3] Since then he has produced over 50 Documentaries and Films for Channel Seven and Channel Nine.[4] He is also known as the "Barefoot Bushman".
His 2008 produced 6-part series, In The Bush With Malcolm Douglas, aired in 2009 on Channel Seven to high ratings on Saturday nights, winning its timeslot 4 out of the 6 weeks.[5] Based on these ratings, after the conclusion of the series Channel Seven will replay another of his documentary series In Search of the Big Barra.
