Royal Children's Hospital Good Friday Appeal

[Qwerty]

The regular desk has been dusted off again!

[Expensive_Horse5538]

Now that 7QLD has gotten the old Brisbane desk, this must be the oldest desk still in use in Australia?

[BJT2]

I think we calculated that desk has been used since 2008.

[Nick_Samon]

I know that’s Conrad Sewell. Who is that on the right?

Kate Miller-Heidke, new coach on The Voice

@Nick_Samon

The steady hand of Conrad Sewell.

[JohnsonTV]

The panel is now Matthew Richardson, Abbey Holmes, Rebecca Maddern and Abbey Gelmi (replaced by Peter Mitchell after the 10.10pm ad break).

For what it’s worth, I think today’s telethon has been good.

Larry steers the ship so bloody well, an absolute natural pro at this and worth every cent of the big bucks he’s earning at the network

@JohnsonTV

Colin Fassnidge said on Good Friday Appeal tonight that he had already filmed 40 episodes of his cooking segments,

I thought he was good tonight on the GFA

[MysteryM]

Larry is saving it from being a total disaster. Such a professional, among the low frills production. I moan about it year on year, but then it’s also probably rose coloured glasses. But I loved the older format (9:30-10:00am start. Panel’s all day, reading donations every so often etc).

This has been a wild ride, panel rotation multiple times an hour lol.

[JohnsonTV]

Now on the panel, comedians Claire Hooper, Ed Byrne, Bron Lewis and Nazeem Hussein.

For the final panel of the night, it is Christine Ryan and Ivan Aristeguieta replacing Bron Lewis and Nazeem Hussein respectively.

Needs to return to the convention centre, or at least a studio where they can have a large audience

[JohnsonTV]

Returning to Melbourne Convention and Exhibition Centre is a great idea, given it hosts the Big Day Out during the day of the appeal.

However, it means the tally room will need to move out of the theatre (Plenary?) to another part of MCEC.

[Expensive_Horse5538]

I thought they use to have it all in the Plenary to begin with, judging by earlier caps from previous years.
