Lynn Waldegrave - Funny As Interview

Actor Lynn Waldegrave found TV fame appearing on comedy shows A Week of It and McPhail and Gadsby, before relocating to London for 20 years. She discusses her long career in this laugh-filled Funny As interview, including:

• Memories of her father’s humour, and him having a “face for every day of the week”
• How an inebriated fart led to her being cast in A Week of It
• Working on McPhail and Gadsby and being made to do “murderous things” – but having fun
• Running into actor William Shatner after emerging from a lake in Hagley Park for a McPhail and Gadsby skit
• Public reaction when she exposed her breasts for a ‘Nude News’ skit
• Sending up Radio with Pictures host Karyn Hay — and how much Hay hated it
