Thought people who didn’t see this would be interested in Lucy’s contribution to the show.
She provided the answers to a series of questions about Feminist Pride, saying what she thought would be a source of pride or shame. The studio guests had to guess what she had decided.
The questions:
Pride or shame: Assertiveness classes?
Pride or shame: Paternity leave?
Pride or shame: Wishing you were blonde?
Pride or shame: Preferring Feng Shui to Kung Fu?
Pride or shame: Liking "Charlie’s Angels"?
Pride or shame: Streaking?
Pride or shame: Dumping your girlfriends when you get a new boyfriend?
Pride or shame: Dumping your boyfriend when you get a new girlfriend?
Pride or shame: Horny old ladies?
Pride or shame: Having the hots for your best mate?
Pride or shame: Singing along with the Reverend Mother to "Climb Every Mountain"?
Pride or shame: Using your warcry to get served in a bar?
Pride or shame: Asking if your bum looks too big in everything?
The last one may be confusing to people outside the UK as it was intended as a dig against one of the studio guests (Arabella Weir) whose catch-phrase is "Does my bum look big in this?".

At the start of the show Lucy said, "Hi to The Staying In Show from Lucy Lawless languishing here in sunny Auckland".
When they showed brief glimpses of her during the round (giving the thumbs up/thumbs down or looking like she was trying to make a decision) she looked very like she was doing her Meg impression.
Lucy evidently thought the whole thing was a bit mad (in a good way) because at the end she said, "Ta ta to all you crazy English people. You’re just crazy!"
