Diana Beresford Fisher OAM (née Davis; 30 May 1931 – 26 January 2023) was an English-born Australian journalist, television and radio presenter, social commentator and royal correspondent.

[2][3][4][5] Born in London, some of Fisher's early jobs including being a circus ringmaster, a magician's assistant and a revue dancer.

[9] Fisher returned to Australia in 1969 when her husband took up a position as head of the features and documentaries department at the Australian Broadcasting Commission.

[10] Fisher's profile rose even further as one of the judges on ABC TV's The Inventors program which ran from 1970 to 1982, originally hosted by Geoff Stone.

'"[14] Fisher felt that her parting from the magazine, which was owned by Nine Network owner Kerry Packer, may have been a flow-on effect from her decision to remain with the ABC rather than defect to Nine with her colleagues from The Inventors.

[17] On 16 July 1991, Fisher, Geraldine Doogue, Bruce Ruxton, Mark Day, Normie Rowe and Ron Casey, were invited onto the Nine Network's Midday program to discuss whether Australia should become a republic.

[18] The program, hosted by Ray Martin, attracted widespread publicity after Rowe and Casey became involved in a physical altercation during the debate.

"[21] In 2015, she was interviewed by Craig Bennett for Network 10's Studio 10 where she recounted various events including the Midday brawl and her experiences as a royal correspondent.

[24] Fisher died from non-Hodgkin lymphoma at St Vincent's Private Hospital in Sydney, on 26 January 2023, 4 months before her 92nd birthday.
