In the middle of a local story in the Victoria Times Colonist about the city's film festival, we learn that Mary Walsh is working on a better version of a TV show than her heretofore previous Book Club-type, tried it, didn't work, maybe better for radio? yes, style show.
"Walsh revealed she's developing a talk show in which she'd team with different guests weighing in on the news of the week -- "Naomi Klein and a bunch of left-wing women one week, and Ann Coulter and a bunch of right-wing women the next."
Tentatively titled Broad Appeal, it would be "something like The View but with a singular kind of view per show."
It's assumed that this show is for the CBC, but that may not be the case, as we learn further on in the piece.
"She's also playing Siouxee Power, an "aging punk person" from The Rock who wins the lottery and moves to Toronto's tony Rosedale neighbourhood in Rise Up, a half-hour Global comedy series in development.
"I skateboard in it," said Walsh, who in Crackie also got back on a bicycle for the first time since she was 18."
