You go girl! Good to see Mel back on Seven in primetime. Miracle Sonia didn’t get the job
I would love to see Mike Walsh honoured. Anyone under 30 has probably never heard of him. The Mike Walsh Show was an institution at midday. Then 9 screwed him over. I have never heard his life story. It would be fascinating.
It won’t happen, I’ve asked for interviews in the past but I think he prefers to be low key now.
I will be looking forward to this. Really like Mel. Think she will do a very good job
This is your life? I thought it was April Fools’ Day again. This is your life may have been relevant in the 1960s and 70s but nowadays when you can get information about any person of note from Wikipedia and Google it is all rather redundant
Not a bad move, truth be told! I’ve always thought of TIYL as either stuffy, English and grey or stuffy, bland and on Channel 9. Melissa would turn it into fresh, feel good television.
She will do a great job.
Interesting ….
