Synopsis

In an emotional Today Live interview from June 2001, Susan Wood talks to pioneering newsreader Angela D’Audney about her diagnosis with a brain tumour four weeks earlier, resulting surgery and the prospect of radiotherapy. D'Audney talks about the highs and lows of her considerable career and attributes her success as much to tenacity as talent. Paul Holmes reminisces and offers support, there’s archive footage of her from AKTV2 in 1968; and she is given the final word in what will be her last television appearance. Angela D’Audney died on February 6th, 2002.

Dear, sweet Angela (Angel)
One of the warmest, smartest, and loveliest women, and one of the very best human beings.

I have just finished reading Angela's autobiography. She was an amazing woman and it was lovely to be able to go back (prompted by her book) and watch this interview, which I hadn't initially seen. Like Ian below I find it hard to believe it has been almost ten years since she died, and I, too, am now a true fan. Bless, Angela. ☺

I still miss seeing Angela on t.v, it's hard to believe that it is nearly 10
years since she was taken from us.
For me she was the ultimate newsreader, her diction was so perfect
nobody since has come close to her.
I am very pleased to see that she has become part of the NZ on Screen lineup.
May she never be forgotten.
Ian Davies.
A true Fan.
R.I.P Angela.
