Synopsis

TV personality Jaquie Brown plays (and plays up) herself for further delightful comic effect in the second series of The Jacquie Brown Diaries (renamed The Jaquie Brown Odyssey for DVD release). In the Qantas Award-winning TV3 satire Brown is an egomaniacal reporter looking to climb the media ladder any which way she can. This episode sees Brown googling herself, and a late-night forum post sends her spiralling towards celebrity booze binge self-destruction on K Road. In her wake Auckland’s Metro social pages set are skewered with self-referential glee.

Quotes

Alright look, I didn’t want to have to bring this up, but I think it’s important you know. She’s going out with a DJ. 

– Kim Sharee (Hannah Banks) to Tom (Ryan Lampp) on why Jaquie needs help

A razor sharp satire on fame, insecurity and television itself. 

– Grant Smithies, Sunday Star Times

Takes comedy in a much needed new direction. 

– Jane Bowron, The Dominion Post

So you’re Tom eh? I met you at that 42 Below Party ... so ... how funny is your YouTube clip! I’m kinda a Deathslayer fan from way back. 

– Serita Singh (Madeleine Sami) to Tom (Ryan Lampp)
