Exactly what I was thinking. RIP all of them. Olivia Newton John was so sweet. Her grandfather was Max Born a very very clever man.

thank you very much for sharing, i think anyone who sits on the same show as Dame Edna deserves a medal, you just can't beat the Moonee Ponds Dame, cheers

I remember vividly watching this at the time (my first experience of watching Dame Edna and my whole family screamed with laughter). Can’t believe so much time has gone by, I was 16 then and now you can flip those digits. R.I.P. to all you wonderful voices from the past.

Gloria and Olivia fangirling over each other... (Love how Olivia calls her "Ms Swanson' - Gloria smiling at the respect) in the most polite way... they're both so delightful and gorgeous. Livvy singing live. And Parky, Livvy and Ms Swanson cracking up over Dame Edna. Just fabulous.

I'm very pleased that someone still has this episode, but why oh why did you cut Dame Edna’s entrance where she threw gladioli to the audience. The look on Gloria Swanson's face was what made it!

I find it very sad that they have all gone now, such talent, but there it is we all get old. In the beginning to the end, it’s what happens in the middle that counts and we just must get on with it.😢

If Jonathan Ross or Graham Norton was the host would they have got a much of a word in? Just react to what the host says.

Go back and listen to those three big hits now. You know Peter Allen opened a lot of doors for Olivia. And when she teamed up with Jeff Lyne it went ballistic. She was lucky but she used her luck

RIP to "Parky"....but i always think of my dad, as we used to watch "Parkinson" religiously, but im sure it was so my dad could see how many times he touched or scratched his nose..."go on touch your nose" my dad would cry...then when he did my dad would go "wahhhhey" followed by the number, in order, of times he touched it during the episode

Two iconic moments in pop culture with ONJ that I will never forget: 1. Michael Jacksons "Liberian Girl" video. 2.Backstage footage from Madonna's "Truth or Dare: In Bed With Madonna"!
