Audience with Dame Edna Everage Joanna Lumley bit

[MrCapri78]

This dates from 1980

[clumpft]

Date this came out?

[LittleJCdude]

This has to be the 1970's or 80's does anyone know ?

[fancythathat]

What is funny about this Dame Edna routine? They keep putting it back on TV, and i simply don't understand why, I have never laughed on it and I hate it and so does everyone I know.

Who is the man that is sitting to the right of Joanna Lumley? He looks very familiar!

[kamelion7]

@se20darren Thats Russell Harty

[se20darren]

@kamelion7 ; sorry, i meant the one on the other side of Joanna Lumley. The younger guy.

[kamelion7]

@se20darren Oh, sorry mate don't recognise him at all.

[bettelane]

Ha, I live in Clapham!

The bandaged figure is Edna's Bridesmaid Madge having undergone surgery. The original actress who played her had died so this was how they introduced the new version of Madge.

[DrRangers]

Am I the only one who can see a person who has their entire face bandaged sitting in the centre of the screen in the last row at 1:03 ?

[zephyruk]

@DrRangers I think it might be madge allsop. I seem to remember a sketch with madge in bandages like that.

[deejaychip]

@DrRangers

I think its Madge

[TheFever77]

@DrRangers It could be Michael Jackson in disguise.

[kevinherbert]

@DrRangers : that's am MI5 agent..at play.

[CJEChurchill]

@DrRangers haahahahahahahaha. i am so happy you noticed that, i would never have seen it. Randomness

[katiesweeney00]

@DrRangers Ha ha ha, I wouldn't never have seen that. It'd be Madge, just watched the interview with DE on Joan Rivers, with Joan Collins, watch it, Collins was such a bitch, anyway, DE mentions that Madge is in LA having cosmetic surgery. Av a good one

[sadams291]

@DrRangers HAHA that's hilarious!

[oskar092]

@DrRangers Hahahahahahahaha thank you for pointing that out!

[pettapie]

@DrRangers LOOOLLLLLLL

[webaroos]

Edna was definitely hitting her wittiest period, she looked fresh & was very sharp tongued.

[jerramy]

@webaroos It's hard for me to imagine The Dame is now 76 yet is still as sharp and witty as ever. I think of my own grandma (or my grandpa for that matter) and it just doesn't compute.

[rayway82]
