This week we bring you news of Dame Edna's longtime 'manager' Barry Humphries, and a very exciting guest spot on the wireless! Barry is the celebrity guest on the most recent episode of BBC Radio 4's "Desert Island Discs".
Not to be outdone by Dame Edna (who, by the way, has been invited not once, but twice, to care and share with the Desert Island Discs audience!), Barry is a fantastic castaway, and shares some brilliant stories about his youth, and rise to fame around the world.
Ever with his finger on the pulse and a sly reference to Susan Boyle (of "Britain's Got Talent" fame), Barry says of Dame Edna...
" ....(she is a) shy, rather shrill, & dowdy woman...but we all know, don't we, that frumps can sometimes triumph!"
And of his epitaph, he seemingly channels Edna when he tells his host...
"I really would like an opportunity to write it myself. It would be pretty well a catalogue of excessive compliments..."
Wonderful! So check it out, Possums! Barry's "Desert Island Discs" episode can be heard again on BBC Radio 4 on Friday, 29th May, at 09:00.
