Murdoch's later career is described by Took as "varied and interesting". In 1954 the Australian Broadcasting Corporation presented a series of variety programmes called "Much Murdoch", in which, during the run, he worked again with Horne, who took advantage of a three-week holiday to join him. Murdoch worked again with Askey in 1958 in the television series "Living It Up", running a pirate TV station from the roof of Television House. His next major broadcasting success was the BBC radio series "The Men from the Ministry" (1962–1977). His character, Richard Lamb, was a well-meaning but not conspicuously bright civil servant, who, together with his equally disaster-prone superior, Roland Hamilton-Jones (Wilfrid Hyde-White) and later Deryck Lennox-Brown (Deryck Guyler), continually found the wrong answers to the pressing problems of government. Murdoch's last long running radio show was "Many a Slip", a panel game that combined humour and erudition, in which he appeared from 1964 to 1973.
