"The Dame Edna Treatment" - new TV show details!

Hello, Possums! Hello, Darlings!

I first reported here that the new year would bring us a landmark new television series from our favourite ground-breaking gigastar. Well, I'm thrilled to report that our Dame Edna spies are reporting back to us now with some exciting news about the new ITV Dame Edna show.

The word is that it is to be called "The Dame Edna Treatment", and will be set in a spa - isn't that spooky! Memories of little Mel Gibson in Dame Edna's TV special called "A Night on Mount Edna" come to mind - do you remember, Possums? Gorgeous Mel spent the entire show in Edna's hot box (now don't twist my words, you little minx - I mean her sauna, of course!)

It's the perfect setting for Dame Edna to probe all the nooks and crannies of her special guests. And as she declared on Parkinson last year, she won't be interviewing any of these non-entity celebs we see so much of nowadays. Oh, no! Only top level stars for our Australian legend. We've heard that the likes of Jane Fonda, Charlton Heston, Liza Minnelli, and Sean Connery are already lined up, and no doubt, international superstars around the globe will be clamouring to get The Dame Edna Treatment! Sadly, I doubt that little Mel Gibson will get a look in, particularly after those rather "uncalled for" remarks he made about the Red Sea pedestrians... Dame Edna is a Red Sea pedestrian you know...or at least she thinks she might be... In any event, she might think about inviting some other Australian stars to join her. What about Russell Crowe? After all, they're both Gladi-ators!!!!

I also wanted to bring you news of some website updates, my darlings. First, you'll find a new up-to-date touring schedule on the official Dame Edna website. You'll also find some new photos in the photo gallery section of The Untamed Edna Experience website. Scroll down to see some of the gorgeous shots from our recent VIP day at John Lewis on Oxford Street. You'll also find the site easier to navigate with improved links to help you probe our space (web space, that is).

Well, that's all for now, Possums! We're so excited about the new TV series!!! And if you hear any news yourself, be sure to let us know!!!
