This clip from sketch comedy show Fast Forward features the gloriously chaotic 'Janelle’s Beauty Spot' – where Magda Szubanski’s Chenille, of Institute de Beauty and House of Hair Removal fame, peddles perilous treatments in a dead-on send-up of daytime television.
'Janelle’s Beauty Spot', with Marg Downey as Janelle, parodied ’80s morning shows and beauty fads with precision with Szubanski’s Chenille skewering wellness culture and pseudo-expert advice. The clip is a superb example of how Fast Forward used sketch comedy to critique both media formats and the values they promoted.
This segment appeared in series 4, episode 9.
