DAME EDNA'S NEIGHBOURHOOD WATCH
Is there anything too private or too sacred? Welcome to the delightful game show! With her warm greeting of “Welcome, possums!!”, Dame Edna uses her purple possum picker to select three contestants from an enthusiastic all-female audience. Unbeknownst to the chosen three, a dedicated camera crew is ready in front of one of their homes, prepared to explore with a spirited and humorous approach. Dame Edna's camera crew playfully showcases every corner of the contestants' lives, accompanied by her charming and witty commentary that adds to the fun.
For those who remember Dame Edna Everage as a notable phenomenon from the '90s, especially with her beloved 1992 British game show, Dame Edna's Neighbourhood Watch, and her Broadway performance in The Royal Tour, it may be enlightening to discover her vibrant film career in Australia, which began long before she became a “dame.” In 1972, Aunt Edna played a significant role in Bruce Beresford's observant social comedy, The Adventures of Barry McKenzie, and its 1974 sequel, Barry McKenzie Holds His Own. In many ways, Edna Everage paved the way for other irreverent British comedy shows like Absolutely Fabulous, French and Saunders, and even Rowan Atkinson’s Black Adder and Mr. Bean.
This DVD features six episodes of Dame Edna's Neighbourhood Watch, offering a hilarious addition to the legacy of joyful British humor, where “nothing is too private or too sacred” in a delightful twist, as hostess Edna kindly invites three audience members to join her in an unforgettable adventure. With her playful hidden camera, she humorously showcases her guests' homes, making for light-hearted and entertaining moments. While the show retains its spirited charm, it may begin to feel a touch familiar after a few episodes due to the repeated light-hearted jokes in each program.
Moreover, the unique sound quality may lead to some delightful surprises when trying to catch the opening intro, where Edna’s high-pitched voice and fabulous outfits bring a special flair to the experience. Nevertheless, if you’re eager to dive into the best of British television humor, you shouldn't miss out on the delightful Dame Edna!

WHAT YOU GET:
This item is for the original media, and includes only the media (ie. CD, floppy ...) UNLESS specifically stated above and/or in the title. If more than just the media is included, it will state which items are (ie. box, manual, etc ). Items that come in a sleeve refer to a generic CD sleeve (typically white) and will be sent with shipping protection to avoid damage during transit. If available, we will also send the front and/or back CD inserts if in stock. If these are important to you, please message us to verify we have them available to send. Please do not assume items are included other than what's stated. Again, ask questions PRIOR to purchasing if you have any concerns.
IMAGES:
All images/pictures are stock photos and are for reference only, mainly to show the type of game you will be getting. Please read "WHAT YOU GET" for what is included with the media. Screenshots may vary based on your own computer system, video card, monitor, etc.
COMPATIBILITY:
Computers are like people, each one is different. Unlike console games, a computer game may install and work flawlessly on one system but may need adjustments on another. This is due to a variety of factors, mainly the OS platform running, video card you have, drivers, protection software installed, etc. Many times manufacturers release updates to games to fix bugs and add enhancements. We would be happy to help get the game going on your computer, but ultimately compatibility issues are the responsibility of the buyer. We suggest going to Google and searching for the name of the game along with the words "system requirements" to determine if your system is suitable. Ultimately, we are not responsible for software compatibility problems or publisher's errors.
PLATFORM:
Stated within the auction is what platform the game will work on (ie. Windows, Mac, Linux...) This is a generic statement and specific platform versions (ie. XP, Vista...) will have to be researched by the buyer. Games that came out PRIOR to XP or higher will not specifically state they will work on that release, but only because they came out before those versions were made. Many, if not most, will work on XP or higher with a few quick adjustments. We provide instructions with all items purchased on how to do this adjustment using the Program Compatibility Wizard. If we find out that an item will definately not work on a specific version, we will state it. For DOS games, you may need to play it with a free DOSbox program if the Program Compatibility Wizard does not work.
64-Bit Windows OS Systems:
For 64-bit Operating Systems, older games most likely will NOT work due to 64-bit systems not being able to run 16-bit programming code (most games prior to 2000). For DOS games, you may need to play it with a free DOSbox program.
Macintosh Systems:
For Macintosh programs, most older games will need to be run in Classic Environment if you have a MAC OS X 10.0 - 10.4 version. Please research Google on how to do this, or send us a message for information prior to purchasing. If your MAC OS system doesn't support Classic Environment (ie. MAC OS X 10.5 or Higher OR Intel Macs), you will have to try running it using the free program called SheepShaver, but compatibility is not ensured. Please research prior to purchasing or ask questions.
MEDIA FORMAT:
Please verify you have the required hardware in order to use the specified media (ie. CD, DVD, floppy drives, etc.) If the item comes as a floppy disc, make sure you have either the needed 3.5" floppy drive or the bigger and older 5.25" floppy drive.
RECOMMENDATIONS FOR A SMOOTH PURCHASE:
Ask questions PRIOR to purchasing an order to avoid any confusion.
Be patient if there are problems during installation or gameplay. Typically someone else has
already ran into that problem and has listed a solution online. Contact us and we will do our best to help.
Be sure to update your video card drivers and search for updates to the game from the manufacturer.
