Anh Do returns this week with a fourth season of his popular interview series Anh’s Brush with Fame. Watch the trailer below.

Some interviewers go straight for the jugular, pouncing on subjects and not relenting until they extract what they want. Not Do, whose softly, softly style elicits much more from his guests.

Back for another round of chit-chat and portrait posing, Brush with Fame has lined up an eclectic group of personalities, including Lindy Chamberlain, Alan Jones and Tim Minchin.

With such potentially explosive figures on the slate, it seems surprising to begin with Michael Clarke, but true to form, Do encourages the former sportsman to discuss things he maybe thought he wouldn’t.

From his relationship with Lara Bingle to the criticism he received during his cricket career to the tragic death of his friend Phil Hughes, Clarke opens up about a wide range of topics, with Anh leading him through it sensitively. (Starts Wed., Apr. 17 at 8pm; ABC) 4.5 stars

After cutting his teeth on teen titles Smash Hits and TV Hits (remember them?) in the 2000s, Gavin moved into weekly magazines, working for TV Week for many years and continuing to contribute to that title to this day, and writing for Who, Woman’s Day, New Idea and OK over the past decade or so. He’s also worked for digital outlets, writing and editing for SBS, Pedestrian and Who.com.au, and has hosted and produced TV and music podcasts. Entertainment in all its forms has been Gavin’s focus, whether that be interviewing the latest eliminated contestant from Survivor; reviewing the newest films, TV series and albums; writing opinion pieces about streaming platforms and their offerings; or talking to Australian pop stars past and present about their musical journey. As a long-time freelancer, Gavin goes where the work takes him, with one hand on the remote and the other scrolling through his phone for entertainment updates.
