Patrick Beach has been amazing throughout the tournament. But let’s replace him at the last minute. Let’s also think it’s ok to put an 18 year old up against an international market under pressure. #socceroos #fail #soccer #omg

I’ve covered Laos poison story as a newsreader for days. Deeply moved by the deaths of Bianca & now Holly. Yes I have kids the same age but it’s their vulnerability I can’t ignore. We give ours wings to fly but trust they’ll be protected. They were enjoying life, why robbed?

Every parent in Australia is hurting tonight at the deaths of Bianca and now Holly. You give them wings to fly and trust others will guide them along the way. This is absolutely heartbreaking. May the beautiful girls rest in peace.

Anyone else marvelling at these amazing people, these athletes competing at the Paralympics while they face adversities so many others would see as an excuse not to thrive for more in life? Winners. The lot of them. #thanks #Paralympics2024 #ParisParalympics #inspirational

Not supporting any side. Yes..Michael caused a fracas, but whose business is it really that he has relationship woes? And the girlfriend slapping him - when was that ever ok? Shoe on other foot had he been violent and striked her? Is it ever ok? #MichaelClarke

Of every royal occasion I’ve ever witnessed I’ve never seen a crowd like this. Today a sorrowful nation bid a breathtaking farewell to its Queen…

@MrTVAus @Channel7 Cue host return. Let it apparently be about her/him. Yet no. Not about them at all. This is no ordinary show. I produced it for many many years. Needs to be handled carefully, every life so different. Channel 7 got it wrong.

[mary-ann harris @_maharris]

@JasonErdmann @hockeydan1 No I don’t but thank you for your input.

[mary-ann harris @_maharris]

Tried to watch #tiyl #thisisyourlife on Channel 7 tonight. Man, it will never be what we used to do. As a producer of the show for many many years..sometimes the adage ‘don’t fix what ain’t broke’ is true.

[mary-ann harris @_maharris]

@Channel7 @IanThorpe @7plus @melissadoyle Should have consulted with previous producers. This is not the average tv show. It took skill to make it work. Our stings to surprise the guest of Honour were months in the making, we always surprised our guests and we never revealed who was next. The red book was used.

[mary-ann harris @_maharris]

@CedunaBrad You tell me sweet that’s how we used to roll and we always built up to a guest. We had surprise and emotion.

[mary-ann harris @_maharris]

@Channel7 @7plus You were all trying too hard tonight. As a former producer of the show… where is the surprise? Where is the use of the red book? The build up to guests appearing? The show worked before by perfection but hey..that wasn’t by chance. We chose and designed our stings and the like.

[mary-ann harris @_maharris]

@robfrancis1961 Our focus was always on the guest, never the host or anything else

[mary-ann harris @_maharris]

@kaffando When you nurture a baby for so many years you tend to get protective. We had a great format with stings when the host was surprised to bringing out all kinds of guests that they never ever knew about. We only ever read from the red book.

[mary-ann harris @_maharris]

@AdmiralW238 @ozfroggirl Yes!

[mary-ann harris @_maharris]

@ozfroggirl I know! And where is the book? You’re meant to read from the book! And the host is trying too hard…everyone sitting which is odd, it’s all trying too hard to be different I think
