Dame Edna 2010 News Review

Happy New Year, Possums!

You little darlings! Are you making any resolutions? Reviewing the year gone-by?

The media are, of course, all taking a look back over the year, and bringing in all manner of experts to help them with the task. The BBC's Today programme, with guest editor Colin Firth at the helm, did just that on Tuesday. And who better to invite to look over the past 12 months than a woman who is friend, confidant, and advisor to the world's most powerful and influential people - Dame Edna Everage?

And so we were treated to a most illuminating exchange between Dame Edna and John Humphries, learning, amongst other things, that Edna was involved in setting up the current political coalition governing the United Kingdom, arranging the upcoming royal wedding, and in saving the Chilean miners. It's all in a day's work for a glittering gigastar!

In case you missed it, you can listen to it here:
