Blast from the past, good to see her back
Great to have Denise returning to Ten for the first time since 2011 when she was on The Circle.
Pleasing news. Two days of Ita’s prime dona routine is more than enough. Denise adds some spark to the panel.
Maybe we can still advocate for Denise for The Logies Hall of Fame! It is nice to see there are other tv tonighters that remember and recognise her longevity and endearing persona. When can we start the push for 2016 Logies Hall of Fame campaigns. The voting has already started. Prisoner for Hall of Fame, and Caroline Jones, Noni Hazelhurst, Denise Drysdale as individuals. A drama series, a journalist/presenter, an actor/presenter and a comedian/presenter.
You have read my mind. Moving on this very shortly.
So much for her retirement! She’s still got a few comebacks to go to catch up to Farnsy though I guess
I don’t recall her citing retirement. It was a desire to downsize and travel, which she did. She already appeared on Please Like Me last year.
Love Ding Dong. Hope they let her appear as her Circle character Madame San Choi Bao.
I hope it is more successful than her stint on Hey Hey It’s Saturday…
What actually happened there??? I remember as a youngster she took over from Jackie Mac and then a few months later she quietly disappeared…. was there some friction between her and Daryl? She surprisingly appeared on the Hey Hey reunion though on a couple of segments
Denise gave an interview to John Laws on Foxtel in 2002 where she said she was sacked from Hey Hey. There was friction between her, Daryl, Red Symons and Wilbur Wilde because they felt she was trying to steal the spotlight and pulling focus away from them. Denise was a performer in her own right and wasn’t prepared to play second fiddle to the boys like Jackie Mac and Livinia Nixon were.
Thank you, I remember 10 or so years ago I was MCing an event she was the headline act for and wanted to ask but thought it best not too, she was lovely by the way, couldn’t find someone more down to earth!
Denise was genuinely grateful for the earlier article this year in which industry suggested her for Hall of Fame.
Will be good to see a bigger mix of personalities on the show but as a fan of Ita Buttrose good to see she will still be there to share her immense life experience and that there will be someone of the older generation on the panel everyday which helps give a different perspective on the topics discussed.
Denise claimed a year ago that she had sold up everything to become a nomad.
Obviously had enough of the travelling
And probably feels the need to earn a quid, as do we all.
Interesting
