Jenny and I went down to the ABC studios in ultimo today to see a tapeing of enough rope with andrew denton.
It was fun I really enjoyed it, I love tv studios they are so fun with all the cameras and lights and people looking important with headsets on. The audience warm up guy wasn’t very good, but at least he thought he was funny.
The first guest was Kevin spacey but it was over satellite but that didn’t matter it was a really good interview, they where silly together and Kevin answered all Andrews questions really well/ Kevin seems like a really nice guy, really down to earth.
The next guest was Bernie Banton and his wife. Bernie is a sufferer from an asbestos related disease which hi contracted from his work with the big company James hardie. He is on a oxygen machine. James Hardie really seems like a dodgy corporation and Bernie is advocating on behalf of all those who have been affected and will be affected by asbestos related illness. And trying to ensure that james hardie does the moral and right thing by its ex employees and pays some form of compensation to the victims, as the company kept using asbestos products after they knew it was harmful.
It was a good interview and after it was finished being recorded Andrew encouraged all of us to write letters to pollies to be a voice make sure that these people can be compensated.
I really enjoyed being there although I needed to wee so bad and I couldn’t go I was stuck in the studio for about 3 and a half hours. And in a little break the not very good warm up man gave out fantails to everyone but I didn’t et one.
