Lacy’s anecdotes about her time on Aussie TV may leave Britons bemused but the show finds its feet with a smart perspective on celebrity
Lacy’s show seethes with the injustices inflicted on her for being a funny and outspoken woman ahead of her time. The industry, it seems, exploited her then cast her out. Heroin addiction followed. In the early stages of the show, this all sounds a bit self-justifying, as Lacy sings her own praises with minimal self-irony. That isn’t redeemed, as celebrity memoirs often are, by any nostalgic pleasure of our own; few British viewers will have seen any of the telly Lacy is talking about.
