The Dame Edna Treatment is returning to our television screens on 30th June, and what's more, this is a special episode celebrating Dame Edna's 50th anniversary of entertaining nonentities around the world in true megastar style! Isn't that exciting, my darlings?
As we reported in earlier posts about The Dame Edna Treatment, the musical guest star for this episode is the singing diva k.d.lang, who will be performing a duet of "I'm Every Woman" with Dame Edna. How gorgeous! But that's not all - Robin Gibb will also be performing - here's hoping he's going to sing the show's fantastic theme song celebrating our favourite Australian housewife/megastar!
You're practically drooling with anticipation to know who else will be visiting Spa Edna for this special occasion, aren't you, Possums?
It's a great line-up: James Nesbitt (currently seen on BBC's Jekyll), ex-inmate and author Jeffrey Archer (who was a brilliant guest of Edna's in the 80s!), and best of all, glamour-puss and New York socialite, Ivana Trump - now that should be fun!!!! Chances are that Ivana and Dame Edna are old friends - perhaps they first met in Switzerland when they both happened to be there visiting their money?
In other news, the web, of course, continues to be overwhelmed with stories of Barry Humphries and his much deserved CBE, announced just last week. Last week we reported on the fantastic interview with Dame Edna on Radio 4 about this accolade, and you can now listen to it in it's entirety here , along with a BBC News retrospective on the man behind the megastar.
It's a busy ole time in the Dame Edna universe, Possums! Television shows! Awards! Streets renamed! Theatrical appearances! Press coverage!
Long may her reign as the queen of megastardom continue!
