Bill Lawry... This is Your Life is the sixth album released (eighth release overall) by The Twelfth Man. Released on December 7, 1997, it reached number one on the ARIA Album Charts.

Plot

An episode of This Is Your Life is aired about Bill Lawry, with many of Bill's friends and rivals making appearances. There is a running gag throughout that Ritchie is none too impressed by Bill receiving an episode of This Is Your Life before him and not inviting him to a party in the city. Another running gag is Bill Lawry repeatedly calling host Mike Munro, Matt Munro.
