Dolly Parton cured Coronavirus! ABC Fact Check: not quite, but how wonderful that her $1 million donation towards the development of a vaccine is reaping dividends; we celebrate the Queen. Speaking of monarchies, the new season of The Crown has dropped and everyone is googling whether or not Diana dressed as a tree. But has artistic licence been taken too far? The success of double screen friendly shows like Emily in Paris has us looking into the concept of “ambient tv”, while we’re grateful that Channel 10 has decided to keep Pete Evans OFF the box. And we’re celebrating big boned parrots, and banging on about pools. Yep, it’s November.
