Dame Edna has decided to do a grand tour of Britain's work places to report on the state of the nation. "Take me where someone works for a living, take me to Wigan, where normal people lead normal lives. Let me get my hands dirty," declares the Grande Dame to a packed room of amused factory workers at a baked bean factory in Northern England. First airing on the BBC in 1997, Dame Edna Work Experience sees the nouveau-riche housewife and megastar from Moonee Ponds get down to the factory floor and chat with ordinary blue-collar folk about their lives, recent developments in their relationship, and herself of course.
