Dame Edna interviews Boris Johnson!

Hello Possums! Hello Darlings!

With news this week of the election of Boris Johnson as London Mayor, we thought it would be gorgeous to have a look at the interview Dame Edna did with little Boris on last year's "The Dame Edna Treatment".


Few people know that the Conservatives begged Dame Edna to be their London mayoral candidate, but she refused, saying "...ask Boris, he needs a proper job!"

We also hear that they beseeched her to offer Boris some political advice (no great surprise, as we all know that leaders around the world from Hilary Clinton to Nicolas Sarkozy phone Edna daily after a tragic gaffe or floundering error in the public eye...). Sadly for Boris, Dame Edna was (of course!) too busy, but she offered her dysfunctional daughter Valmai as his personal hairdresser instead. Her kindness and philanthropy knows no bounds. And it may just have been the advantage Boris needed to win!

Here then is a little clip of the highlights of Dame Edna's interview with Boris, or "little BJ", as she likes to call him. In it she tells viewers: "There's something endearing about this bumbling fellow...". What greater endorsement can there be?

They discuss Boris' description of Portsmouth as "..arguably too full of drugs, obesity, and under-achievement.." and his solution to overcrowding in the SE of England (a new tunnel to empty areas of France). Thanks to Edna's probing, we can easily see how the people of London would chose such a diplomatic and visionary man!

Well done, London!
