Host Julia Zemiro travelled to the region last year as the guest of former Doug Anthony All Stars performer Tim Ferguson to film segments taking a walk down memory lane from his childhood.
Ferguson grew up in the Newbridge area and completed his senior schooling at Bathurst’s All Saints’ College before going off to find fame and [a little] fortune.
The Home Delivery episode, to be screened on the ABC on Wednesday, March 22, includes some segments filmed at All Saints’ – particularly the science labs.
Ferguson also paid a visit to All Saints’ in 2015 when he was back in town with DAAS for a one-off show at Bathurst Memorial Entertainment Centre.
At the time he said politicians like then-PM Tony Abbott were making life much harder for comedians because fact was becoming funnier than fiction.
This is not the first time Home Delivery has visited this part of the world.
Ms Zemiro was in Carcoar back in 2015 to film a segment on Paralympic champion Kurt Fearnley’s childhood.

Parade has heard a shocking “only in Australia” tale involving a courageous redback spider that took on a brown snake in an unusual death match at a regional NSW hotel.
Hotel owners Suzie Appleby and David Fahey were shocked to come across the pair in their new theatre building next door to the Morundah Hotel near Wagga.
“It was like something out of a movie,” Mr Fahey said.
Mr Fahey said a number of interested customers took a look before the spider disappeared and they disposed of the snake.
