Thank Goodness for Barry, Possums!

Hello Possums!

You little darlings! Like you, we've been keeping up with the latest on BBC One's "I'd Do Anything!", if only to enjoy a little quality time with Dame Edna's 'manager', Barry Humphries.

And although Dame Edna rarely has a good word to say about him, we say "Thank Goodness for Barry!" While his fellow judges are taking the proceedings (not to mention themselves...) just a tad too seriously, blessedly, we have Barry to add a touch of levity to the scene! Most of his fabulous comments to the Nancy hopefuls fall into a wonderful Dame Edna-like "..and I mean that in a nice way..." category.

Here are some of our favourites from the most recent show:
  • (to Francesca) "...Nancy's a gin drinker...you look a bit 'dairy-fed' to me..."
  • "Jodie was very raunchy indeed...congratulations!"
  • (to Ashley) "...wonderful red hair...you're like an attractive Fergie..."
And then an hilarious comment which Dame Edna would surely have declared "a little un-called for" and perhaps a bit yucky:
  • (to Samantha) "You're like a kind of young - and more interesting - Catherine Zeta-Jones. I don't know if you share her taste for older men..."
Keep 'em coming, Barry! We'll be back next week to see you keep these gorgeous little non-entities laughing!
