Armed with her book of post it notes, Lynne McGranger has taken to the stage for her Gold Logie acceptance speech.
She’s thrilled the auto cue is back up and running!
“33 years, I’ve done this amazing show. And I am thrilled and honoured. Before I forget, this is going to be pride of place next to my 1974 Wagga Wagga Drama Festival Best Actress. And it’s true, it’s absolutely true. That’s when I went, “This acting thing is kind of good!” maybe I will be better at it than I am at teaching.

“I want to acknowledge all the other nominees, all the beautiful, fierce women of all ages. And I am the eldest! If you live as long as I do, it’s fantastic. And of course, lovely Hamish. You are a brave man, darl, thank you.
“I don’t know if any of you have caught my press lately – there hasn’t been much. But I did promise that if I won the Gold Logie that I would carry it around in my handbag for a year. Which is better than burying my white arse on morning television, Larry! So I will do that. And I may regret it.”
