Dame Edna Wishes Parky A Fond Farewell

You little Darlings!

What lucky Possums we are here in the UK! Hot on the heels of our news in previous posts of Dame Edna's celebrated appearances around the country, media sources everywhere have been announcing this week that Australia's housewife/superstar will be joining Parkinson for his final show! Isn't that exciting?

Evidently, Parky provided ITV with his "guest wishlist" for the show, and of course Dame Edna was one of his favoured choices! Other guests will include Dame Judi Dench, Sir David Attenborough and David Beckham, who's 'goldenballs' Dame Edna apparently showed particular interest in during the taping!

As recording of the show came to a conclusion, Parky said, "Over the years it has been a privilege to meet some of the most intelligent and interesting people." (Clearly, he was refering primarily to Dame Edna who is, as we all know, the world's most fascinating and influential woman.)

Throughout Parky's long career, of course, she has (as she humbly puts it) "saved" the Parkinson show by joining the line-up many, many times. Here are a few gems from her last appearance this spring:





We're told that the fabulous new episode with Dame Edna will air on 15th December, to be followed the week after by a Parky documentary restrospective. Don't miss it, Possums!
