05 | A Model Daughter with William McInnes and Michelle Lim Davidson
Christmas party season is in full swing and as the cameramen and crew write themselves off. Noelene cooks her first ever roast chook for an awkward pre-Christmas lunch with Rob's family. Kay Walters wants to sell her story of addiction to News at Six and Lindsay sees a huge opportunity to end the year on a ratings high.
Leigh Sales and Lisa Millar sit down with William McInnes (Lindsay) and Michelle Lim Davidson (Noelene) to uncover the inspiration behind Lindsay's foul-mouthed, newsroom rants and to unpack the casual racism of the 80s during Noelene and Rob's family lunch.
And no, there's no MSG in the roast chook.
