Jeffrey Winton Underhill (1927–10 May 1978)[1] was an Australian writer and journalist. He worked in advertising before turning to writing.[2]

Career

edit

He was a regular writer on the Friday night edition of In Melbourne Tonight hosted by Noel Ferrier, who wrote in his memoirs that Underhill "possessed one of the most original talents for script writing I have ever encountered and I was extraordinarily luck to have him on the team. He wrote the entire show - no small effort on a weekly basis."[3]
