Hello and welcome to episode 2 of Besties, That’s Iconic with Elle Savage and Laurence Driscoll.

In today’s episode we do our first deep dive into the fabulous world of Young Talent Time. We discuss how it came to be the Australian television juggernaut it was, the iconic performances we remember watching as kids, the cast’s near-death experience in a Sydney train tunnel and the rara skirt that was recently made for Elle by the iconic Young Talent Time seamstress herself (not that she’s bragging of course).

Hello and welcome to episode 1 of Besties, That’s Iconic with Elle Savage and Laurence Driscoll. Each week we dive into an iconic Australian media moment and talk about the way in which it shaped us. From the Young Talent Time stage to the Gold Coast apartments of Pacific Drive, from Ramsay Street and Summer Bay to Westside and Wandin Valley, come with us as we chat about what was going on, what went right (or wrong), and the legacy that is left behind today.

In today’s debut episode you’ll get to know us as we start to get to know each other. We discuss the community that has built up around the Elle Savage page, what it’s like to see ‘Dannii Minogue is now following you’ in your notifications and we’ll also debunk the long lasting rumour of a Minogue Feud, proving that the sisters are, and have always been, each other’s biggest fans (followed closely by Elle and Laurence).
