Dr Mumbo

‘Remember the most important thing – we don’t work at the ABC’

On Friday Dr Mumbo stumbled across SBS2 news show The Feed’s trailer for The Real Newsreaders of Sydney, a ‘fly-on-the-wall documentary’ looking t the complex relationships between Seven’s Natalie Barr, Ten’s Sandra Sully and SBS’ “lunatic” newsreader Lee Lin Chin.

Episode one, which went to air last night, is set in Lee Lin’s “boozer” after she discovered “booze is much cheaper in bulk”. “As if Lee Lin needed another excuse to drink, her ratings are enough,” says Sully.

Of course Lee Lin gets her own back later on: “Sully, you share the screen with a ginger. And Natalie, you’re too nice. Have you ever thrown coffee on an intern?”

Episode two airs next Monday, and Dr Mumbo is hooked.
