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


In today’s episode, we do our very first deep dive, starting with 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 legendary Young Talent Time seamstress herself.

Please note that this episode includes discussions of bullying. If you or someone you know is experiencing violence or abuse, please contact 1800 RESPECT on 1800 737 732 or visit https://1800respect.org.au
