Logie and ARIA Halls of Fame. On 7 February 2016, the first part of a television biopic miniseries called Molly aired on Australian television, with Meldrum played by Samuel Johnson. It featured flashbacks of Meldrum's life and some actual footage of videos seen on Countdown. Unaired footage from his interview with Prince Charles showed Johnson as Meldrum but actual footage of Prince Charles as himself. Part two of the miniseries aired on 14 February 2016, with its final scene a moving salute to Meldrum as he returns to public life after a lengthy hospital stay. Actual footage of Meldrum himself receiving a standing ovation as he walks out with the aid of a walking stick ends the series.

Samuel Johnson, in an emotionally-charged interview on The Morning Show, when asked to comment on the incident, expressed strong disappointment, frustration and concern with repeated patterns in Meldrum’s behavior. Johnson asserted that Meldrum “shouldn’t be allowed out in the PM [as] he’s sozzled by that time” due to “[having] two shots of vodka in his coffee in the morning” and passionately implored Meldrum to “stop”. Johnson questioned the whereabouts and effectiveness of Meldrum’s “minders” and advised Meldrum that it may be time for him to “hang up [his] hat”. On 19 January 2023 new video footage emerged showing that Meldrum had previously lowered his trousers to moon an audience whilst
