An aviation expert believes pilot error or an aerodynamic stall might have caused the plane crash which killed 68 people overnight. Anthony Albanese has made a cheeky reference to the controversy surrounding NSW Premier Dominic Perrottet, the Tarraleah Estate in Tasmania is up for sale and Davie Rennie has been sacked as the Wallabies coach. Former Neigbours star Madeleine West has come forward as a victim of prolonged childhood sexual abuse and Molly Meldrum has apologised for his antics at Elton John’s concert.

The new Premier of NSW Dominic Perrottet recently announced that he and his wife Helen are expecting their seventh child, a baby girl next year, leaving many of us wondering how they will manage so many kids and such a big job leading the State?

It also has us questioning how common big families are in 2021, and whether it is a life choice that only really rich people can now afford?

To find out what it's really like The Quicky speaks to the Blue Wiggle who was one of seven kids, a celebrity mum-of-six, and a sociologist as we take a deep dive into big families.

Welcome to This Glorious Mess Big Kids. A twice-weekly look at parenting as it really is. Confusing, exhausting, inspiring, funny, and full of surprises. So many surprises.

This week Holly and Andrew are asking the hard questions ... What advice would you tell a friend who was trying to decide whether or not to have kids? 

Madeleine West, actor, author and activist has reflected a lot on this question. Between her roles on TV, starring in shows like Underbelly, Playing for Keeps and Neighbours and having six kids, Madeleine has learnt a lot about when life doesn't go to script. So what would Madeleine tell her past self? And does she wish things were different?

Plus, some group therapy for a listener who is having some party planning anxiety! 

LINKS 

Madeleine's junior fiction series, Lily D V.A.P is available now. Madeleine's non-fiction work, Six Under Eight is also out now!

Crack open the prison hooch! Elly's in the clink; which means our old pal Andrea (Fake Dee) is back to stir up trouble and provide snacks! And what's a Fake Dee week without a visit from Real Dee? Ms Bliss herself returns to Erinsborough to reconnect with her long lost twin. Plus the Robinson v Robinsons Feud rages on, and Koyle picks up at the Grief Circle.

We hit Rox bottom in the week Paul and Terage get engaged, Roxy kisses Paul, then a mysterious figure crowbars Paul! And that's all before the DeeNA test results for Dee Bliss, Andrea Somers and Nanny Alice/Heather come back! So back to the prison we go for some hypno-magic... CJ and Vaya are in the PirateNet Studios in Melbourne with a whole lot of empathy for everyone in Erinsborough except Gary. #Neighbours

The Real Dee Bliss and the Fake Dee Bliss (a.k.a Karen and Andrea) go wig-to-wig in a clifftop tussle then switch places! CJ, Kate and Vaya recap the events that follow, the many moods of Madeleine West, the downward spiral of Nanny Alice/ Kerry Armstrong and the resolution to the '16-year mystery.'

We begin at the gig of Alan Fletcher's band, Waiting Room! Kate and Vaya bring you along for a Sunday session at the Waterhole before launching into the triumphant return of Nanny Alice in her leopard-print best, snooping on Erinsborough the only way she knows how: from behind some shrubbery.Thanks for listening - please tell other spiggin' hufters to listen too!

That's not clickbait; that's just what Dee is called now. She reckons she's back but we're not falling for this schtick again. From Melbourne's PirateNet studios, Kate and Vaya celebrate the arrival of Pippa from Home and Away; puzzle over same-day interstate travel; and the Ceramic Pig takes the form of Ned and Aarondownthemines in their togs. Also Vaya has a pod-based ANNOUNCEMENT!

In this mini-episode, Vaya chats to TV writer/ script producer/ Summer Bay traitor Dan Bennett about THAT scene featuring another bloody Dee appearance. Dan gives a whole lotta insight into how the soap sausage is made... (He even spent a year working on Neighbours!) Follow @DanMBennett and @neighbuzzpod on Twitter

In the 66th episode, CJ, Vaya and guest Bonnie Tangey (RAW Comedy finalist!) are in Lassiters Sydney for the Cast Away Awards – SPOILER ALERT – Neighbuzz won for the TV, Film & Pop Culture category! We recorded this episode just before the big event but have included some highlights from the evening for you. Thank you for your lovely messages of congratulations – we are beyond thrilled.

Neighbours-wise, we cover that lighthearted soap plotline of a foetus funeral, as well as the demise of the Rebecchi marriage and a touch of impending incest. What fun!

In the 65th episode, CJ, Kate and Vaya mourn Dee once more with the climax (in more ways than one) of the FakeDee storyline in London. Everyone from Nellyfish to DullCop acts their rear ends off as Toadie cheats on Sonya WHILE SHE WATCHES ON VIA SKYPE. GAH! Meanwhile, GazCan and Terage whip up a spag-bol.

We also bring you a special report on the state of the Neighbours broadcast negotiations, and we de-brief on the Ned interview from Ep 64.

In the 62nd episode, Vaya is joined by writer/comedian Penny Tangey and her mum Marilyn Tangey for a very holy episode in the PirateNet Studios.

Vaya gets Penny (lapsed Catholic) and Penny's mum Marilyn (actual Catholic) to weigh in on all the biz with Father Jack, Paige's devil spawn, and the Bish. Dee/FakeDee/RealDee/IDunnoAnymore messes with the wrong toy marsupial. Marilyn (a former teacher) schools Ms Conway on how to handle delinquent students. And Penny swears a HECK of a lot in front of her mum on the Lord's day!

Thank you to Clare for sending in the email that inspired this episode, and to Mary, Kenny and Ben for your ace voice memos.

In the 61st episode, Vaya and CJ are joined by an international guest: Kat from The Blaze – a 90210 podcast! We cover Valentine’s Day on Ramsay Street from the PirateNet Studios…

Los Angeles-born Kat has spent a lot of time in Australia but never watched Neighbours until this week, so we caught her up on thirty years of soap plot. Find out which Erinsborough resident Kat crows Citizen of the Week, which fellas she classifies as 'hunks' plus all of her Dee theories. This is also Ned's last week as the character leaves to pursue his inky dreams in Queensland. But just wait for the reaction to Kat meeting Vaya's original TV boyfriend, Jason Priestley. swoon

We are still not buying that Dee is not really Dee (#trueDeeliever) and you can imagine our response to Sindi F*cking Watts turning up for a slice of Stately Bliss Manor… Thankfully the Canning-Kennedy feud is very much holding our interest with stunts a-plenty; we give the side-eye to Paige’s premature baby shower, and we celebrate Tyles landing a job at a venue that cannot legally admit his girlfriend.

In the 59th episode, Nellyfish’s actual namesake, 'Jellyfish' (from Stage Door Podcast) joins CJ, Kate and Vaya to cover the week of Jan 30 in the PirateNet Studios for one heck of a DEEveal.

Team Sonya is pitted against Team Dee, and friendships are on the line as poor Jelly is forced to defend Sonya at every turn. Plus everyone is so stressed about the Team Andrea/ Team Willow reveal that we barely notice that there is a woman pregnant with a priest's baby.

The Ceramic Pig of the week manifests as an orange-flinging, mud-slinging, hose-pointing nanna fight, which almost soothes us. But the Pod Squad is rattled about whether or not Dee is Dee. Are you a True Deeliever?

It’s Dee! Or is it? Special guest Cal Wilson joins us as Neighbours brings back a beloved character thought to be lost at sea 13 years ago only to plant giant beanstalks of doubt all over the street that it’s even really her. Not on our watch! #TeamDee 5ever. You’d think Dee’s return to Toadie would be enough for a week of episodes but no, there was also room for a Ceramic Wombat.
