KEY POINTS:
The Jaquie Brown Diaries - in which the former C4 and Campbell Live face plays a version of herself who just happens to be the light relief reporter on a current affairs show- starts next week on TV3. It's the first new locally-made comedy series since bro'Town.
Famous faces in cameo roles include Helen Clark, Rodney Hide, Outrageous Fortune stars Antonia Prebble and Antony Starr, singers Anika Moa, Will Martin and Carly Binding and former Ice TV hosts Petra Bagust and Jon Bridges. Also, one Mark Sainsbury from a certain rival network also puts in an appearance. While there's no John Campbell, Carol Hirschfeld turns up as a makeup artist. Technical difficulties meant an appearance by a certain 80s American rap star in a dream sequence was put on ice (ice baby).
