Extreely funny interview show hosted Australian megastar Dame Edna Everage aka Barry Humphries (who for years I thought really was a woman and not a man dressed in drag.) There was no point in being a guest on this show if you didn't have a sense of humour as Edna was quick to burst any pomposity with her ejector seats, staircases that turned into slides and printing's that ate people. There were other staples on the show such as her bridesmaid Madge, her obsession with gynaecologists, feeling songs coming on and the need to stick a badge on every guest in the show.
Another feature of the show was having people who wanted to be on the show but whom she wouldn't let be on it until the final episode of the series. It gives some indication of the popularity of Barry Humphries and/or Dame Edna in Australia when you see that one of these guests was Mel Gibson!!! How they got him to agree to appear week after week I'll never know.
A really funny way to spent Sunday evenings which is sadly missed.
