1
00:00:13,765 --> 00:00:15,765
_
2
00:00:19,486 --> 00:00:21,082
G'day.
3
00:00:21,086 --> 00:00:22,322
Now, it's come to my attention
4
00:00:22,326 --> 00:00:24,882
that some Americans still
don't know where Australia is.
5
00:00:24,886 --> 00:00:28,082
Australia is in the midst of
an unprecedented tourism boom,
6
00:00:28,086 --> 00:00:29,842
with Paul Hogan's US commercials
7
00:00:29,846 --> 00:00:32,802
tempting hundreds of thousands
of Americans Down Under.
8
00:00:32,806 --> 00:00:34,642
Did he make you want
to come to Australia?
9
00:00:34,646 --> 00:00:36,802
Oh, of course. He's very good-looking.
10
00:00:36,806 --> 00:00:38,842
And last night, to cap it off,
11
00:00:38,846 --> 00:00:41,682
the entertainer was officially
named Australian of the Year.
12
00:00:41,686 --> 00:00:45,402
I'm really pleased that the
committee picked me because
13
00:00:45,406 --> 00:00:47,882
I myself could never
decide who to give it to
14
00:00:47,886 --> 00:00:49,722
between Allan Border and Jeff Fenech.
15
00:00:49,726 --> 00:00:51,962
But now at least...
16
00:00:57,086 --> 00:00:58,642
Murray...
17
00:00:58,646 --> 00:01:00,602
- Shit!
- We've got another copy?
18
00:01:00,606 --> 00:01:02,202
Shit. Oh.
19
00:01:02,206 --> 00:01:04,042
There's another copy of that speech.
20
00:01:04,046 --> 00:01:06,362
Sorry, mate, I think
we've lost that grab.
21
00:01:06,366 --> 00:01:08,366
That grab was the whole
point of the story!
22
00:01:19,766 --> 00:01:20,886
Fuck!
23
00:01:21,886 --> 00:01:23,842
Hey! Hey!
24
00:01:23,846 --> 00:01:26,163
- I need to shoot a stand-up right now.
- It's five to six.
25
00:01:26,167 --> 00:01:28,183
Can you to send a cameraman
and soundo, whoever's available,
26
00:01:28,187 --> 00:01:30,883
tell them to meet me at the entrance
in front of reception.
27
00:01:30,888 --> 00:01:33,204
Noelene, I need more Paul Hogan footage.
28
00:01:33,209 --> 00:01:34,846
Can you get some footage
of him on a movie
29
00:01:34,850 --> 00:01:36,566
or behind the scenes
wherever he's working?
30
00:01:36,571 --> 00:01:37,623
- What movie?
- It doesn't matter.
31
00:01:37,627 --> 00:01:39,203
As long as it says Paul Hogan,
movie star.
32
00:01:39,207 --> 00:01:40,303
- On it.
- Thank you!
33
00:01:40,308 --> 00:01:42,801
Tim, Camera. Mike, downstairs now. Now!
34
00:01:44,806 --> 00:01:48,686
And we are on in six, five, four...
35
00:01:53,566 --> 00:01:56,766
Good evening and welcome to News at Six.
36
00:01:58,526 --> 00:02:00,206
Hurry. Hurry up.
37
00:02:04,366 --> 00:02:06,642
The new Australian of the Year,
the new Australian of the year.
38
00:02:06,646 --> 00:02:08,122
And, rolling.
39
00:02:08,126 --> 00:02:11,382
And the new Australian of the Year
has an even bigger 1986 in store
40
00:02:11,387 --> 00:02:13,984
with the release of his very first
fleature... feature, feature film.
41
00:02:13,988 --> 00:02:17,201
It's alright. Just, like, try breathing.
42
00:02:17,206 --> 00:02:20,722
And the new Australian of the Year
has an even bigger 1986 in...
43
00:02:20,727 --> 00:02:22,523
- Sorry, that was a bit high.
- That's right.
44
00:02:22,528 --> 00:02:26,024
And the new Australian of the Year
has an even bigger 1986 in store
45
00:02:26,029 --> 00:02:27,402
with the release of his very first...
46
00:02:27,406 --> 00:02:30,682
Truck. Truck. Sorry.
47
00:02:30,686 --> 00:02:33,802
Well, as Australia Day approaches,
communities across the nation
48
00:02:33,806 --> 00:02:37,722
are preparing for parades,
carnivals and backyard barbecues.
49
00:02:37,726 --> 00:02:40,980
The banks of the Yarra
will host a week-long festival
50
00:02:40,985 --> 00:02:43,401
featuring everything from damper baking
51
00:02:43,406 --> 00:02:45,842
to the annual cooee competition.
52
00:02:45,846 --> 00:02:48,246
Noelene! Noelene!
53
00:02:50,046 --> 00:02:52,402
The only footage I could find
was him at a movie premiere.
54
00:02:52,406 --> 00:02:54,522
He's in black tie, it's in the
edit suite with Murray.
55
00:02:54,526 --> 00:02:55,562
Fine, fine, fine.
56
00:02:55,566 --> 00:02:57,906
... the banks of the Yarra River,
Australia Day cel...
57
00:03:03,046 --> 00:03:04,143
Open up!
58
00:03:04,148 --> 00:03:05,704
- You lost the Hogan grab?
- I've got another grab.
59
00:03:05,708 --> 00:03:07,185
We can't do a story about
the Australian of the Year
60
00:03:07,189 --> 00:03:08,846
without the bloody
Australian of the Year, okay?
61
00:03:08,850 --> 00:03:09,850
This was all Dale's idea.
62
00:03:10,247 --> 00:03:13,882
Australia is in the midst
of an unprecedented tourism boom
63
00:03:13,886 --> 00:03:15,682
with Paul Hogan's US commercials
64
00:03:15,686 --> 00:03:18,522
tempting hundreds of thousands
of Americans Down Under.
65
00:03:18,526 --> 00:03:20,462
Did he make you
want to come to Australia?
66
00:03:20,467 --> 00:03:23,241
Oh, of course. He's very good-looking.
67
00:03:23,246 --> 00:03:27,240
And the new Australian of the Year
has an even bigger 1986 in store
68
00:03:27,245 --> 00:03:29,601
with the release
of his very first feature film.
69
00:03:29,606 --> 00:03:32,882
Can the former Sydney Harbour Bridge
rigger conquer Hollywood?
70
00:03:32,886 --> 00:03:35,582
Either way, it's shaping up
to be Hogan's year.
71
00:03:35,587 --> 00:03:37,482
Fair suck of the sauce bottle, boys.
72
00:03:37,486 --> 00:03:39,941
Dale Jennings, News at Six.
73
00:03:39,946 --> 00:03:43,242
Scientists are calling it
the Greenhouse Effect...
74
00:03:43,247 --> 00:03:44,923
I actually think that ending was better.
75
00:03:45,326 --> 00:03:47,482
Predictions are that
the polar icecaps...
76
00:03:47,486 --> 00:03:48,602
Mmm.
77
00:03:48,607 --> 00:03:50,242
Yeah, good on you, Dale.
78
00:03:50,246 --> 00:03:51,962
Paul Greaves reports.
79
00:03:51,966 --> 00:03:54,122
Here we go.
80
00:03:54,126 --> 00:03:57,242
Hey, wasn't I... I thought I was
reading the Thatcher story.
81
00:03:57,246 --> 00:03:58,602
That was a late change.
82
00:03:58,606 --> 00:04:00,206
And three...
83
00:04:03,086 --> 00:04:04,442
To world news now
84
00:04:04,446 --> 00:04:07,740
and British PM Margaret Thatcher's
integrity is under question
85
00:04:07,745 --> 00:04:09,961
in the wake of a damaging leaked letter,
86
00:04:09,966 --> 00:04:13,282
the latest polls showing
that nearly half the country
87
00:04:13,286 --> 00:04:15,722
believe that Mrs. Thatcher
should resign.
88
00:04:15,726 --> 00:04:19,286
It's been described
as the worst crisis faced by...
89
00:04:20,691 --> 00:04:23,191
- Synced and corrected by Firefly -
- www.addic7ed.com -
90
00:04:25,326 --> 00:04:27,242
You said it at the Christmas party.
91
00:04:27,246 --> 00:04:29,602
- You said it four times in November.
- Christ, Helen!
92
00:04:29,606 --> 00:04:32,362
You can't go off anything a bloke
says at a bloody Christmas party!
93
00:04:32,366 --> 00:04:34,202
You said that we could look at
one story every week
94
00:04:34,206 --> 00:04:35,683
and we would call it a special report.
95
00:04:35,687 --> 00:04:37,060
Look at! Look at!
96
00:04:37,065 --> 00:04:39,021
A very deliberate use of words. Look at!
97
00:04:39,026 --> 00:04:42,722
You promised me that Thatcher story.
instead I'm doing a puff piece...
98
00:04:44,646 --> 00:04:46,082
You had a sit-down with Andrew Peacock!
99
00:04:46,086 --> 00:04:47,202
What more do you bloody want?!
100
00:04:47,206 --> 00:04:49,722
Did you even look
at any of the ideas I submitted?
101
00:04:49,726 --> 00:04:51,402
Jean, hi.
102
00:04:51,406 --> 00:04:54,042
Uh, I was pencilled in
for half past six with Lindsay.
103
00:04:54,046 --> 00:04:55,762
I'd give it another quarter of an hour.
104
00:04:55,766 --> 00:04:59,122
Uh, yeah, but if now is not
a good time, I'm happy to delay.
105
00:04:59,126 --> 00:05:00,523
You're never gonna get a good time.
106
00:05:00,527 --> 00:05:02,722
I mean, if he's not
in a good frame of mind.
107
00:05:02,726 --> 00:05:04,482
You're never gonna get that either.
108
00:05:04,486 --> 00:05:06,122
Right.
109
00:05:06,126 --> 00:05:08,606
- You are not up to it, Helen!
- I'll just... wait, I guess.
110
00:05:10,185 --> 00:05:12,801
You parade around this place
like you're Barbara bloody Walters.
111
00:05:12,806 --> 00:05:13,806
But you're not!
112
00:05:13,811 --> 00:05:16,842
You're Helen Norville! And let me
tell you something, Helen!
113
00:05:16,846 --> 00:05:20,066
I've got 20 girls just like you
ready to go tomorrow!
114
00:05:25,646 --> 00:05:27,486
Oh, Jesus wept.
115
00:05:33,366 --> 00:05:35,086
He's free.
116
00:05:36,166 --> 00:05:37,766
Great.
117
00:05:38,686 --> 00:05:39,726
Thanks.
118
00:05:42,766 --> 00:05:45,762
- Uh, Lindsay.
- What do you want?
119
00:05:45,766 --> 00:05:48,882
Oh, mate, yes, uh... Dale.
120
00:05:48,886 --> 00:05:51,402
Listen, mate, you may have
to walk with me. I'm running late.
121
00:05:51,406 --> 00:05:52,602
Okay, sure. Yeah.
122
00:05:52,606 --> 00:05:54,222
I just thought we could have a chat
123
00:05:54,227 --> 00:05:56,442
about the rehearsal tape
I filmed for the desk last year.
124
00:05:56,446 --> 00:05:58,002
- Did I watch it?
- Yes, you did.
125
00:05:58,006 --> 00:05:59,822
And you said it went well
126
00:05:59,827 --> 00:06:02,802
and perhaps I might get a crack
at some updates in the new year.
127
00:06:02,806 --> 00:06:04,522
Did I tell you this
at the Christmas party?
128
00:06:04,526 --> 00:06:05,962
- Yeah, yeah, yeah.
- Okay.
129
00:06:05,966 --> 00:06:08,962
And you gave me some great feedback,
which I have been working on.
130
00:06:08,966 --> 00:06:10,802
Yeah, I bet you have, mate.
131
00:06:10,806 --> 00:06:12,460
- Night-night, Jean.
- Night-night.
132
00:06:12,465 --> 00:06:14,321
I've been really working
on my presentation.
133
00:06:14,326 --> 00:06:15,863
I don't know if you saw
my Paul Hogan yesterday.
134
00:06:15,867 --> 00:06:16,903
Yes, mate, I saw it.
135
00:06:16,908 --> 00:06:18,665
Look, the rosters are pretty full
at the moment
136
00:06:18,669 --> 00:06:20,225
so why don't we say maybe Easter.
137
00:06:20,230 --> 00:06:22,161
Even if it was just one morning update.
138
00:06:22,166 --> 00:06:23,766
Just... just one update.
139
00:06:25,406 --> 00:06:27,562
Mate, newsreading, not for everyone.
140
00:06:27,566 --> 00:06:28,922
- Right.
- It's nothing personal.
141
00:06:28,926 --> 00:06:31,402
It's just when the camera goes on
a particular sort of person,
142
00:06:31,406 --> 00:06:33,482
the viewer feels very secure.
143
00:06:33,486 --> 00:06:35,242
Like, look at Helen.
144
00:06:35,246 --> 00:06:38,646
You put a lens on her, she connects.
145
00:06:40,246 --> 00:06:42,486
But other people, nothing.
146
00:06:43,486 --> 00:06:44,806
Is it a vocal thing?
147
00:06:46,206 --> 00:06:47,242
No.
148
00:06:47,246 --> 00:06:49,242
Because I have been working
with a vocal coach all summer.
149
00:06:49,246 --> 00:06:52,202
He actually worked with Jack Thompson.
150
00:06:52,206 --> 00:06:54,522
You want to get your money back, Dale.
151
00:06:54,526 --> 00:06:56,686
You don't sound anything like
Jack Thompson.
152
00:07:02,326 --> 00:07:04,082
Mate, how well do you know Helen?
153
00:07:04,086 --> 00:07:06,402
Um... we nod hello sometimes.
154
00:07:06,406 --> 00:07:09,522
Then you know she's very, very set
on these special reports.
155
00:07:09,526 --> 00:07:11,642
- Right.
- Yeah, so what I really need now
156
00:07:11,646 --> 00:07:14,562
is a bloke with some chops
to go out with her,
157
00:07:14,566 --> 00:07:17,162
help her shoot,
help her put the story together.
158
00:07:17,166 --> 00:07:18,323
You do this for me on Monday,
159
00:07:18,327 --> 00:07:22,042
then maybe I can give you a shot
on an update on... Tuesday.
160
00:07:22,046 --> 00:07:23,722
- Is that a deal?
- Deal.
161
00:07:23,726 --> 00:07:25,162
But you gotta watch yourself
with her, okay?
162
00:07:25,166 --> 00:07:26,842
She's going to hit you
with a lot of shitty ideas
163
00:07:26,846 --> 00:07:29,442
about cross-eyed single mothers
and AIDS and Christ knows what else.
164
00:07:29,446 --> 00:07:32,722
Your job is to bat her away.
165
00:07:32,726 --> 00:07:34,762
Okay. Heh! Great!
166
00:07:34,766 --> 00:07:37,122
Uh, thanks so much, Lindsay.
167
00:07:37,126 --> 00:07:39,682
Um, should we meet again
after the update to... ?
168
00:07:39,686 --> 00:07:41,446
Goodnight.
169
00:08:15,046 --> 00:08:16,802
Hello. Jennings residence.
170
00:08:16,806 --> 00:08:18,846
Hi. It's me. Um...
171
00:08:20,526 --> 00:08:25,682
I just got my first update
live on the desk next week.
172
00:08:25,686 --> 00:08:27,042
When next week?
173
00:08:27,046 --> 00:08:28,122
Tuesday morning.
174
00:08:28,127 --> 00:08:29,962
I mean, it's just Tuesday
morning right now,
175
00:08:29,966 --> 00:08:31,362
but if it goes well, there will be more.
176
00:08:31,366 --> 00:08:34,322
- Am I allowed to tell people?
- Yes.
177
00:08:35,886 --> 00:08:37,446
I gotta go. Bye.
178
00:08:41,446 --> 00:08:45,966
♪ Kyrie Eleison, down
the road that I must follow ♪
179
00:08:47,006 --> 00:08:51,922

I'm going, will you follow? ♪

183
00:09:10,406 --> 00:09:13,722
Dale, it's your Uncle Cliff here.
184
00:09:13,726 --> 00:09:16,842
Yeah, your mum just rang,
and we're thrilled for you.
185
00:09:16,846 --> 00:09:19,922
Um, anyway...
186
00:09:19,926 --> 00:09:21,722
Love, it's Mum again.
187
00:09:21,726 --> 00:09:23,242
I know you told me, but,
188
00:09:23,246 --> 00:09:26,401
was it the morning update
or the afternoon update?
189
00:09:26,406 --> 00:09:28,081
Give me a ring.
190
00:09:28,086 --> 00:09:29,682
Hi, Dale.
191
00:09:29,687 --> 00:09:32,121
It's Adam here from school.
192
00:09:32,126 --> 00:09:37,122
I saw you on TV tonight, and, um,
I got your number from Ron Allsop.
193
00:09:37,126 --> 00:09:40,322
I know I'm probably not
someone you'd want to see,
194
00:09:40,326 --> 00:09:43,602
but even if I could just get
an address to write to you.
195
00:09:43,606 --> 00:09:48,322
My number's 4361625.
196
00:09:48,326 --> 00:09:51,446
Hope to hear from you soon. Bye.
197
00:10:08,206 --> 00:10:10,806
Dale Jennings here
with the morning update.
198
00:10:15,046 --> 00:10:18,006
Dale Jennings with the morning update.
199
00:10:21,486 --> 00:10:25,726
This has been Dale Jennings
with the morning update.
200
00:10:32,126 --> 00:10:34,566
_
201
00:11:01,566 --> 00:11:04,242
Ah. She graces us with her presence.
202
00:11:04,246 --> 00:11:06,779
You wanna be a reporter, you know
what time reporters get here?
203
00:11:06,784 --> 00:11:07,861
About an hour and a half ago.
204
00:11:07,865 --> 00:11:09,681
Well, I just secured an interview.
205
00:11:09,686 --> 00:11:11,042
- Uh-huh?
- Yeah.
206
00:11:11,046 --> 00:11:13,202
It's a woman, uh, mother of two...
207
00:11:13,206 --> 00:11:14,842
Right, well, you can tell Dale all this.
208
00:11:14,846 --> 00:11:16,522
He's got some options for you as well.
209
00:11:16,526 --> 00:11:18,602
- I'm sorry?
- Dale Jennings.
210
00:11:18,607 --> 00:11:20,286
He'll be producing you.
211
00:11:25,006 --> 00:11:26,922
- Lindsay said I could...
- It was Lindsay's idea.
212
00:11:26,926 --> 00:11:29,286
All reporters work under a producer.
213
00:11:31,006 --> 00:11:32,926
They also get here at 7:00am.
214
00:11:34,326 --> 00:11:35,982
- Helen.
- Hi.
215
00:11:35,987 --> 00:11:37,881
- So thrilled to be working with you.
- Mm-hm.
216
00:11:37,886 --> 00:11:40,202
Looks like it's gonna be
a bit of a bumper day.
217
00:11:40,206 --> 00:11:43,562
So, I'm sorry, I was under the
impression that this was gonna be
218
00:11:43,566 --> 00:11:45,842
a special report of my choosing.
219
00:11:45,846 --> 00:11:47,626
Absolutely. And I've got
quite a few options
220
00:11:47,631 --> 00:11:48,682
I thought we could pick from.
221
00:11:48,686 --> 00:11:50,122
Well, I already have an interview.
222
00:11:50,127 --> 00:11:52,127
Okay. An interview with who?
223
00:11:53,326 --> 00:11:54,802
Do you want to get a pen?
224
00:11:54,806 --> 00:11:56,482
Yep.
225
00:12:03,366 --> 00:12:05,762
So, I have been in contact with a woman.
226
00:12:05,766 --> 00:12:07,242
- Her name is Caroline Gibson.
- Okay.
227
00:12:07,246 --> 00:12:10,482
She has two children
and she is HIV positive.
228
00:12:10,486 --> 00:12:11,642
Okay.
229
00:12:11,647 --> 00:12:13,802
I know Lindsay's thoughts
on AIDS stories,
230
00:12:13,806 --> 00:12:16,642
but I see this as
more of a family story.
231
00:12:16,646 --> 00:12:17,646
Mm-hm.
232
00:12:17,651 --> 00:12:20,481
So, Caroline contracted HIV
through a blood transfusion
233
00:12:20,486 --> 00:12:23,022
and there's actually quite
a few women in the same position.
234
00:12:23,027 --> 00:12:25,242
Except none of them have spoken
to the media yet, so...
235
00:12:25,246 --> 00:12:26,446
Look, I...
236
00:12:27,486 --> 00:12:30,922
- I think just for the first report...
- Oh, this isn't my first report.
237
00:12:30,926 --> 00:12:32,442
The first in this particular series,
238
00:12:32,446 --> 00:12:35,282
they were just hoping for something
a little more upbeat.
239
00:12:35,286 --> 00:12:37,406
Still with substance, but...
240
00:12:38,766 --> 00:12:40,246
Like what?
241
00:12:41,046 --> 00:12:42,646
Okay. Um...
242
00:12:45,286 --> 00:12:47,522
It's the first day of school,
243
00:12:47,526 --> 00:12:49,571
so I was thinking we could actually
244
00:12:49,576 --> 00:12:52,246
get you interviewing a prep class.
245
00:12:57,406 --> 00:13:00,082
Alternatively... Actually, this is...
246
00:13:00,086 --> 00:13:03,082
Um, the new Melbourne Zoo
butterfly house.
247
00:13:03,086 --> 00:13:07,282
It's really world-class,
it's... it's, um, innovative
248
00:13:07,286 --> 00:13:11,286
and they're about to welcome
their one millionth visitor.
249
00:13:14,126 --> 00:13:16,002
Have you been there?
250
00:13:16,006 --> 00:13:17,602
It's quite good.
251
00:13:17,607 --> 00:13:19,562
Lindsay very, very specifically said...
252
00:13:19,566 --> 00:13:21,282
Oh, God. Don't start having
a whinge with me now, okay?
253
00:13:21,286 --> 00:13:23,282
... that this was going to be
a special report of my choosing.
254
00:13:23,286 --> 00:13:25,143
You are more than welcome to take
it up with him when he gets here.
255
00:13:25,147 --> 00:13:26,304
This is a gripping family story...
256
00:13:26,308 --> 00:13:28,725
I think I've got a good third option.
257
00:13:28,729 --> 00:13:32,169
Uh... It's about women and space.
258
00:13:33,206 --> 00:13:36,482
Just being able to, um, see the planet.
259
00:13:36,486 --> 00:13:38,042
I mean, you see it in pictures
260
00:13:38,046 --> 00:13:41,606
but to be able to see that
in reality is gonna be wonderful.
261
00:13:43,046 --> 00:13:44,882
So, she's a schoolteacher
and a mother of two,
262
00:13:44,886 --> 00:13:46,162
and she's been picked by NASA
263
00:13:46,166 --> 00:13:48,682
to be the first civilian
ever sent into space.
264
00:13:48,686 --> 00:13:49,802
Great. I love it.
265
00:13:49,807 --> 00:13:51,282
It's a US story.
266
00:13:51,286 --> 00:13:53,762
Yeah. But I think we can get
some good Australian angles.
267
00:13:53,766 --> 00:13:56,002
- Can I speak to her?
- Um...
268
00:13:56,006 --> 00:13:58,082
Well, no, no, no.
269
00:13:58,086 --> 00:14:01,482
But we do have an excellent
space scientist at the CSIRO
270
00:14:01,486 --> 00:14:02,582
who we've used before.
271
00:14:02,587 --> 00:14:03,924
Plus, Hawke has made some comments
272
00:14:03,928 --> 00:14:06,002
about Australia getting
its own space program,
273
00:14:06,006 --> 00:14:07,522
so we could cover that as well.
274
00:14:07,526 --> 00:14:09,042
Yep, I'd want to watch that. Well done.
275
00:14:09,046 --> 00:14:10,762
I want to talk to Lindsay.
I want to pitch my story.
276
00:14:10,766 --> 00:14:12,042
I think it speaks for itself.
277
00:14:12,046 --> 00:14:13,603
I mean, if you go in there
and tell him that right now,
278
00:14:13,607 --> 00:14:15,567
you can forget about these reports.
279
00:14:21,126 --> 00:14:23,966
Don't worry. I'll tell Lindsay
you did your best.
280
00:14:26,646 --> 00:14:28,362
You know, I would just appreciate it,
281
00:14:28,366 --> 00:14:31,122
if you get the chance, to tell
Lindsay that I did my best too.
282
00:14:31,126 --> 00:14:33,402
Okay. It might not come up but, uh...
283
00:14:33,406 --> 00:14:34,966
... just in case it does.
284
00:14:41,766 --> 00:14:43,642
You just do not know
how to put a sock in it, do you?
285
00:14:43,646 --> 00:14:45,922
I have done a year and a half
of doing regional.
286
00:14:45,926 --> 00:14:47,482
I spent two years as a senior reporter.
287
00:14:47,486 --> 00:14:49,482
I've got blokes here
who've done 15 years.
288
00:14:49,486 --> 00:14:51,682
- If you just look at the story...
- They go out, they do absolute shit.
289
00:14:51,686 --> 00:14:53,922
They don't mind because that's the job.
290
00:14:53,927 --> 00:14:57,122
60 Minutes are sending
female reporters to war zones.
291
00:14:58,766 --> 00:15:02,882
Anywhere you go is a war zone, Helen.
You're a war zone on two legs.
292
00:15:02,886 --> 00:15:05,202
So, yeah, try your luck there,
see if they'll take you.
293
00:15:05,206 --> 00:15:06,402
I will.
294
00:15:06,406 --> 00:15:08,402
Well, let me tell you something,
though, sweetheart.
295
00:15:08,406 --> 00:15:10,621
Other networks, they hear about the shit
296
00:15:10,626 --> 00:15:13,121
we have to put up with from you,
297
00:15:13,126 --> 00:15:15,606
they wouldn't touch you
with a ten-foot bargepole.
298
00:15:16,786 --> 00:15:18,822
I'm not kidding, Helen.
299
00:15:18,827 --> 00:15:20,323
I am not kidding.
300
00:15:20,327 --> 00:15:22,482
Every day I have to back you up.
301
00:15:22,486 --> 00:15:24,082
Every day people come
in here and they say,
302
00:15:24,086 --> 00:15:25,842
"Helen Norville, she's a nightmare.
303
00:15:25,846 --> 00:15:28,122
She's got a face like a slapped arse".
304
00:15:28,126 --> 00:15:30,002
But I bat them all back.
305
00:15:30,006 --> 00:15:31,682
But, you know what, Helen?
306
00:15:31,686 --> 00:15:34,042
They are fucking right!
307
00:15:34,046 --> 00:15:37,442
Oh, you take one more step, Helen.
One more step, you're gone.
308
00:15:37,446 --> 00:15:39,042
I'm not kidding!
309
00:15:39,046 --> 00:15:41,522
I won't just can your reports!
310
00:15:41,526 --> 00:15:43,002
You'll be gone!
311
00:15:43,006 --> 00:15:44,326
For good!
312
00:15:49,606 --> 00:15:51,682
You! Noelene!
313
00:15:51,686 --> 00:15:54,682
Amend the run-downs.
Remove Helen Norville's name!
314
00:15:54,686 --> 00:15:56,722
You! Dale Jennings!
315
00:15:56,726 --> 00:15:59,342
You are going to take over
Helen's space story
316
00:15:59,347 --> 00:16:03,227
and you are going to take over
all her updates starting tomorrow.
317
00:16:56,886 --> 00:16:58,922
And the social studies teacher says
318
00:16:58,926 --> 00:17:02,422
she plans to conduct
two lessons live from space.
319
00:17:02,427 --> 00:17:06,022
Just being able to,
uh, see the planet in reality
320
00:17:06,026 --> 00:17:07,262
is gonna be wonderful.
321
00:17:07,267 --> 00:17:09,961
Dale Jennings, News at Six.
322
00:17:09,966 --> 00:17:11,986
To sport now. And, Rob,
323
00:17:11,991 --> 00:17:14,361
a difficult day for the
Australian cricket team.
324
00:17:14,366 --> 00:17:16,402
Oh, that's right, Geoff. Dear, oh, dear.
325
00:17:16,406 --> 00:17:19,122
Captain Allan Border
is again under pressure
326
00:17:19,126 --> 00:17:22,500
as Australia was bowled out for
just 70 on a perfect batting pitch
327
00:17:22,505 --> 00:17:25,681
in today's World Series Cup match
at the Adelaide Oval.
328
00:17:27,846 --> 00:17:29,722
Walters residence.
329
00:17:29,726 --> 00:17:31,082
You saw?
330
00:17:31,086 --> 00:17:33,522
- Is she unwell again?
- No.
331
00:17:33,526 --> 00:17:36,442
It all came to a head
this afternoon. She's gone.
332
00:17:36,446 --> 00:17:39,082
- What? Permanently?
- Well, according to Lindsay.
333
00:17:39,086 --> 00:17:40,842
Apparently, they had
another screaming match
334
00:17:40,846 --> 00:17:42,722
and he finally drew a line in the sand.
335
00:17:42,726 --> 00:17:43,726
Ohh...
336
00:17:43,731 --> 00:17:46,721
- When will the network announce it?
- I don't know.
337
00:17:46,726 --> 00:17:49,642
They need to say something quickly.
She'll give interviews.
338
00:17:49,646 --> 00:17:51,682
She courts those women's magazines.
339
00:17:51,686 --> 00:17:52,762
Evie...
340
00:17:52,766 --> 00:17:54,682
Geoff, you need to speak to Lindsay.
341
00:17:54,686 --> 00:17:59,802
You need to make sure he abandons
the whole idea of the second reader.
342
00:17:59,806 --> 00:18:01,522
No. I think I'll leave it tonight.
343
00:18:01,526 --> 00:18:03,322
I'll speak to him in the morning.
344
00:18:03,326 --> 00:18:05,562
He'll have another girl in the wings,
345
00:18:05,566 --> 00:18:07,842
some game show girl...
346
00:18:07,846 --> 00:18:10,642
Why don't you pick out a nice bottle
of red? I'm leaving now.
347
00:18:12,006 --> 00:18:14,566
- I love you.
- I love you, too, darling.
348
00:19:06,766 --> 00:19:07,766
Helen!
349
00:19:10,966 --> 00:19:12,802
It's Dale Jennings from work.
350
00:19:12,806 --> 00:19:16,682
I've got your, um...
your bag and your book.
351
00:19:16,686 --> 00:19:18,166
You left it behind.
352
00:19:22,086 --> 00:19:25,206
Sorry, Helen, I just wouldn't mind
if you'd let me know you're alright.
353
00:19:34,606 --> 00:19:36,086
Hello?
354
00:19:39,686 --> 00:19:41,046
Helen?
355
00:20:12,126 --> 00:20:13,126
Hello?
356
00:20:16,286 --> 00:20:17,762
Helen?
357
00:20:17,766 --> 00:20:18,966
Helen.
358
00:20:22,246 --> 00:20:23,402
Helen?
359
00:20:23,406 --> 00:20:25,322
Can you hear me?
360
00:20:25,326 --> 00:20:26,646
Helen.
361
00:20:36,326 --> 00:20:38,042
Emergency. Police, fire or ambulance?
362
00:20:38,046 --> 00:20:39,206
Ambulance.
363
00:20:40,846 --> 00:20:42,602
Yeah. Emergency.
364
00:20:49,166 --> 00:20:51,002
Okay. The ambulance is here. Alright?
365
00:20:51,007 --> 00:20:52,603
They're coming now.
366
00:20:52,608 --> 00:20:54,926
Yes! Yes!
367
00:20:56,486 --> 00:20:58,006
I can't go to the...
368
00:20:59,546 --> 00:21:01,386
I can't go to the hospital.
369
00:21:05,846 --> 00:21:07,366
I can't...
370
00:21:09,926 --> 00:21:11,162
She's just this way.
371
00:21:11,167 --> 00:21:12,407
- She's conscious?
- Yes.
372
00:21:19,286 --> 00:21:21,882
I'm so sorry. I'm so sorry.
373
00:21:21,886 --> 00:21:24,602
We might just take a quick look at you.
374
00:21:24,606 --> 00:21:25,606
Mm-hm.
375
00:21:25,611 --> 00:21:27,210
Do you remember what happened?
376
00:21:30,246 --> 00:21:33,282
I just think that I took too many pills.
377
00:21:33,286 --> 00:21:35,162
You know, from before.
378
00:21:35,166 --> 00:21:37,422
- You're boyfriend? Husband?
- Oh, no.
379
00:21:37,427 --> 00:21:39,143
A work colleague.
380
00:21:39,148 --> 00:21:41,846
If you could just focus
on my finger, please.
381
00:21:51,126 --> 00:21:53,522
Anything like this has happened before?
382
00:21:53,526 --> 00:21:55,242
I wouldn't know, sorry.
383
00:21:55,246 --> 00:21:57,566
Any reason to think it was intentional?
384
00:21:59,726 --> 00:22:01,682
Oh, I'm not sure.
385
00:22:01,686 --> 00:22:03,842
I'd prefer it if she came
into the hospital,
386
00:22:03,846 --> 00:22:05,882
but she's very resistant to that.
387
00:22:05,886 --> 00:22:08,402
- She's a public figure.
- Yeah.
388
00:22:08,407 --> 00:22:11,282
Anywhere else she could stay?
She's... uh, says there's no family.
389
00:22:11,286 --> 00:22:13,202
I'm sorry. I don't know.
390
00:22:13,206 --> 00:22:15,002
I mean, I could stay here for a while.
391
00:22:15,006 --> 00:22:16,722
We want to get her away from here,
392
00:22:16,726 --> 00:22:20,322
away from any medication
she might have lying around.
393
00:22:20,326 --> 00:22:21,966
Can you think of anywhere else?
394
00:22:29,841 --> 00:22:32,841
_
395
00:22:52,926 --> 00:22:54,246
Helen?
396
00:23:01,566 --> 00:23:02,842
Morning.
397
00:23:02,846 --> 00:23:04,926
How are you feeling?
398
00:23:05,926 --> 00:23:08,922
I'm fine. I'm just gonna do this
and then I'm gonna get out of here.
399
00:23:08,926 --> 00:23:11,962
Oh, you're welcome to stay just
for the day, for a bit of rest.
400
00:23:11,967 --> 00:23:14,802
I'm fine, Dale. I just had a mix-up
with my pills. That was it.
401
00:23:14,806 --> 00:23:16,882
Okay. But why don't you stay?
402
00:23:16,886 --> 00:23:19,242
You know, I've got tea, coffee.
403
00:23:19,246 --> 00:23:21,666
Um... Uh...
404
00:23:24,166 --> 00:23:26,986
Chicken loaf, bread, cheese.
405
00:23:28,366 --> 00:23:30,802
The tape player's set to record
406
00:23:30,806 --> 00:23:33,426
if you don't mind just
watching the telly, but...
407
00:23:35,566 --> 00:23:37,886
The midday movie is The Music Man.
408
00:23:38,886 --> 00:23:40,802
Um...
409
00:23:40,806 --> 00:23:43,322
I'll call home during the day,
if you promise me you'll answer.
410
00:23:43,326 --> 00:23:46,322
And then I will bring home some dinner
411
00:23:46,326 --> 00:23:48,646
and we can come up with a plan.
412
00:23:50,046 --> 00:23:51,602
What kind of plan?
413
00:23:51,606 --> 00:23:53,406
To get you home.
414
00:23:59,186 --> 00:24:00,282
Okay.
415
00:24:00,286 --> 00:24:01,286
Okay.
416
00:24:02,926 --> 00:24:04,926
Better get ready.
417
00:24:06,606 --> 00:24:09,366
Don't know why I did that.
You're not a captain.
418
00:24:10,646 --> 00:24:12,246
I kind of liked it.
419
00:24:15,406 --> 00:24:16,526
Okay.
420
00:24:24,686 --> 00:24:27,722
Good morning. A very
busy news day today.
421
00:24:27,726 --> 00:24:29,402
The News at Six.
422
00:24:29,406 --> 00:24:32,382
Fffffffff.
423
00:24:32,387 --> 00:24:33,483
Mmm.
424
00:24:33,487 --> 00:24:34,522
Ahh.
425
00:24:34,526 --> 00:24:36,322
Mmmmmmmm.
426
00:24:36,326 --> 00:24:38,802
De... Dale.
427
00:24:38,806 --> 00:24:40,922
Dale Jennings.
428
00:24:40,926 --> 00:24:43,162
Dale Jennings.
429
00:24:43,166 --> 00:24:46,406
Dale Jennings, the News at Six.
430
00:24:52,505 --> 00:24:55,641
Is that future Gold Logie winner
Dale Jennings?
431
00:24:55,646 --> 00:24:57,362
Yes! Look out!
432
00:24:57,366 --> 00:24:59,071
Making your big move, are you, mate?
433
00:24:59,076 --> 00:25:00,922
No. Just broadening experience.
434
00:25:00,926 --> 00:25:02,362
- Ah, he is!
- Ahhh!
435
00:25:02,367 --> 00:25:04,322
Look at him, he's got
a little spark in the eye.
436
00:25:04,326 --> 00:25:06,402
Don't hide it, mate.
437
00:25:06,406 --> 00:25:07,802
Don't listen to Robbo.
438
00:25:07,806 --> 00:25:09,362
He said 'expecially'
instead of 'especially'
439
00:25:09,366 --> 00:25:10,642
for his first year on the desk.
440
00:25:10,646 --> 00:25:11,762
Right...
441
00:25:11,766 --> 00:25:14,402
Um, I'm imagining that Thatcher's
going towards the lead?
442
00:25:14,406 --> 00:25:17,362
And we'll probably do, uh,
Dire Straits arriving in Australia.
443
00:25:17,366 --> 00:25:18,366
Okay.
444
00:25:19,745 --> 00:25:21,481
- Are you right?
- Yeah.
445
00:25:21,486 --> 00:25:23,242
- Sleep okay?
- Yep.
446
00:25:23,246 --> 00:25:26,322
Maybe, uh, give yourself a little
bit of extra time in make-up, huh?
447
00:25:26,326 --> 00:25:28,642
Oh... fuck!
448
00:25:28,646 --> 00:25:30,202
Fuck!
449
00:25:30,206 --> 00:25:32,182
That's not about the update, is it?
450
00:25:32,187 --> 00:25:35,983
Nah. Last night's ratings
fell off a cliff without Helen.
451
00:25:35,988 --> 00:25:37,304
Right.
452
00:25:37,309 --> 00:25:38,629
Good luck.
453
00:25:44,766 --> 00:25:46,006
Make-up.
454
00:26:58,406 --> 00:27:01,006
Can I just do a white balance check?
455
00:27:06,806 --> 00:27:09,166
We're starting with Dire Straits.
456
00:27:24,126 --> 00:27:26,162
- Can you read it all clearly?
- Uh-huh.
457
00:27:26,166 --> 00:27:28,402
There's water under the desk,
if you get dry mouthed.
458
00:27:28,406 --> 00:27:29,882
Thanks.
459
00:27:29,886 --> 00:27:31,922
Just relax into it, mate. Yeah.
460
00:27:31,927 --> 00:27:34,161
And remember, there's only, what is it,
461
00:27:34,166 --> 00:27:37,162
three or four full MCGs watching.
462
00:27:37,166 --> 00:27:39,366
Just hold still for me.
463
00:27:43,946 --> 00:27:46,321
Val!
464
00:27:46,326 --> 00:27:48,322
How is he? Have you spoken to him?
465
00:27:48,326 --> 00:27:51,282
No. I'm sure she's nervous enough
without hearing from me.
466
00:27:51,286 --> 00:27:52,766
Come in. Come in.
467
00:27:54,526 --> 00:27:57,842
Might need to pump up the bass
a bit for Jennings' voice.
468
00:27:59,446 --> 00:28:02,366
And we are on in 15.
469
00:28:04,766 --> 00:28:06,606
Ten.
470
00:28:08,766 --> 00:28:10,082
On my hand...
471
00:28:10,086 --> 00:28:11,566
Five...
472
00:28:17,166 --> 00:28:19,457
Good morning. Dale Jennings
here with the latest news.
473
00:28:19,461 --> 00:28:20,961
UK Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher
474
00:28:20,966 --> 00:28:22,522
is steadfastly refusing to resign
475
00:28:22,526 --> 00:28:24,242
in the face of the
Westland helicopter crisis.
476
00:28:24,246 --> 00:28:27,882
The embattled PM poses an emergency
debate in the House of Commons.
477
00:28:27,886 --> 00:28:30,282
Truth is often stranger than fiction...
478
00:28:30,286 --> 00:28:31,842
Yeah. You need to slow down, fella.
479
00:28:31,846 --> 00:28:34,742
Ask me these questions
of course I will reply them.
480
00:28:34,747 --> 00:28:35,843
He's so handsome.
481
00:28:35,847 --> 00:28:37,783
They must reply to them,
first to members of parliament...
482
00:28:37,787 --> 00:28:38,787
We are back in...
483
00:28:38,792 --> 00:28:40,802
- ... and to the House of Commons.
- Three...
484
00:28:40,806 --> 00:28:44,282
I will do my best to get
precise answers to them.
485
00:28:44,286 --> 00:28:46,201
The biggest rock band
in the world, Dire Straits
486
00:28:46,205 --> 00:28:48,722
have commenced their Australian tour
amidst a ticket scalping controversy.
487
00:28:48,726 --> 00:28:51,042
with $27 seats fetching up to $400.
488
00:28:51,046 --> 00:28:52,122
Come on. Slow it down.
489
00:28:52,126 --> 00:28:53,476
Lead singer Mark Knopfler advises
490
00:28:53,481 --> 00:28:55,366
fans not to spend that kind of money.
491
00:28:56,525 --> 00:28:57,860
Just don't do it.
492
00:28:57,865 --> 00:28:59,441
The other thing that I'll say is that...
493
00:28:59,445 --> 00:29:01,921
You need to slow down
or there'll be dead air at the end.
494
00:29:01,926 --> 00:29:03,762
I'll try to move the autocue
a little slower.
495
00:29:03,766 --> 00:29:05,126
- Try and follow me.
- Sorry.
496
00:29:06,606 --> 00:29:09,402
- ... is... is that...
- We are back... in...
497
00:29:09,406 --> 00:29:12,806
... we're gonna make a limited
amount of tickets available.
498
00:29:14,326 --> 00:29:18,246
To sport now, and Australian
cricket captain, Allan Broader...
499
00:29:19,726 --> 00:29:22,602
... Border, has threatened to resign
500
00:29:22,607 --> 00:29:26,081
in the wake of Australia's
worse... worst ever
501
00:29:26,086 --> 00:29:28,682
World Cricket score... Series score.
502
00:29:28,686 --> 00:29:31,122
... put it to the blokes...
503
00:29:31,126 --> 00:29:33,602
He's finding his rhythm, I think.
504
00:29:33,606 --> 00:29:37,242
... should have a better
performance level...
505
00:29:37,246 --> 00:29:39,362
Okay. You're gonna need
to pad out to the wrap up
506
00:29:39,366 --> 00:29:41,202
because you're still 10 seconds ahead.
507
00:29:41,206 --> 00:29:43,642
... good performances,
not necessarily winning...
508
00:29:43,646 --> 00:29:45,282
We're back, in...
509
00:29:45,286 --> 00:29:47,722
... just the performances
have been very, very poor.
510
00:29:47,726 --> 00:29:49,082
And I've just had enough
511
00:29:49,086 --> 00:29:50,602
To weather now.
512
00:29:50,606 --> 00:29:52,766
Fine today with a top of 28.
513
00:29:56,226 --> 00:29:58,626
This has been Dale Jennings
from the newsroom.
514
00:30:00,286 --> 00:30:01,962
- We'll have more updates...
- Poor bugger.
515
00:30:01,966 --> 00:30:03,366
... for you throughout the day.
516
00:30:06,726 --> 00:30:07,846
Thank you.
517
00:30:12,006 --> 00:30:13,046
We're out.
518
00:30:20,926 --> 00:30:21,926
Tea?
519
00:30:28,046 --> 00:30:31,162
Perhaps tomorrow it might be worth
coming in a little early?
520
00:30:31,166 --> 00:30:32,922
We can do another practice.
521
00:30:32,926 --> 00:30:33,926
Great.
522
00:30:35,926 --> 00:30:37,286
Good.
523
00:30:54,326 --> 00:30:55,526
Fuck!
524
00:31:19,406 --> 00:31:22,686
Mate, if it's any consolation...
525
00:31:23,886 --> 00:31:26,562
... you could really have a future
526
00:31:26,566 --> 00:31:28,122
... calling horse races.
527
00:31:28,126 --> 00:31:30,926
- Huh.
- Chin up.
528
00:31:37,486 --> 00:31:41,322
Just so you know, Lindsay didn't
see it. He was in some meeting.
529
00:31:41,326 --> 00:31:42,326
Oh.
530
00:31:43,886 --> 00:31:46,126
I don't know what happened.
The rehearsal tape was fine.
531
00:31:48,126 --> 00:31:50,202
It's different live.
532
00:31:50,206 --> 00:31:51,966
You'll get there.
533
00:31:56,726 --> 00:31:57,926
Anyone else?
534
00:32:09,825 --> 00:32:11,922
Hello. You've reached Dale Jennings.
535
00:32:11,926 --> 00:32:13,322
I can't take your call right now,
536
00:32:13,326 --> 00:32:15,522
but if you leave me a message
with your details,
537
00:32:15,526 --> 00:32:17,322
I'll get back to you.
538
00:32:17,326 --> 00:32:19,446
Helen, if you're there,
can you pick up the phone?
539
00:32:20,926 --> 00:32:22,846
Helen, you promised. Just pick up.
540
00:32:24,526 --> 00:32:25,726

Helen?
545
00:32:46,326 --> 00:32:48,282
Hi! I'm so sorry.
546
00:32:48,286 --> 00:32:50,042
I've taken over your kitchen.
547
00:32:50,046 --> 00:32:52,021
Hey, I called the girls on reception
548
00:32:52,026 --> 00:32:53,341
and they told me about the ratings.
549
00:32:53,345 --> 00:32:55,641
They said that they had about
a hundred phone calls.
550
00:32:55,646 --> 00:32:58,122
Did Lindsay say anything?
551
00:32:58,126 --> 00:33:00,082
You promised me you'd answer the phone.
552
00:33:00,086 --> 00:33:03,766
Yeah, but I... I wanted to make
dinner just to say thank you.
553
00:33:06,006 --> 00:33:07,482
I rang four times.
554
00:33:07,486 --> 00:33:09,446
Yeah, I was only at
the shop for an hour.
555
00:33:11,766 --> 00:33:13,122
Right.
556
00:33:13,126 --> 00:33:14,562
What's wrong?
557
00:33:14,566 --> 00:33:16,362
Oh...
558
00:33:16,366 --> 00:33:18,562
Did my first update on the desk today.
559
00:33:18,566 --> 00:33:20,322
It just didn't go very well, that's all.
560
00:33:20,326 --> 00:33:21,526
You... What?
561
00:33:36,646 --> 00:33:38,806
Good morning. Dale Jennings here
with the latest...
562
00:33:40,086 --> 00:33:42,322
I said don't, um, touch the VCR!
563
00:33:42,326 --> 00:33:44,681
Why didn't you tell me that
you were on the desk today?
564
00:33:44,686 --> 00:33:47,046
You weren't in any fit state
to tell you that.
565
00:33:49,486 --> 00:33:50,722
Can I watch it?
566
00:33:50,726 --> 00:33:51,766
No.
567
00:33:53,566 --> 00:33:55,642
The first time that I ever read,
568
00:33:55,646 --> 00:33:58,082
I froze for like a solid ten seconds,
569
00:33:58,086 --> 00:33:59,682
and then the second
time I kept stumbling
570
00:33:59,686 --> 00:34:01,322
over the word 'phenomenon'.
571
00:34:01,326 --> 00:34:03,046
Took me three goes at it.
572
00:34:05,086 --> 00:34:06,406
Let me watch it.
573
00:34:09,486 --> 00:34:10,646
It's really bad.
574
00:34:11,686 --> 00:34:13,882
The biggest rock band
in the world, Dire Straits,
575
00:34:13,886 --> 00:34:17,002
have commenced their Australian tour
amidst a ticket scalping controversy
576
00:34:17,007 --> 00:34:20,042
with $27 seats fetching up for $400.
577
00:34:20,046 --> 00:34:21,783
Lead singer Mark Knopfler
578
00:34:21,787 --> 00:34:24,362
advises fans not to spend
that kind of money.
579
00:34:24,366 --> 00:34:25,922
Just don't do it.
580
00:34:25,927 --> 00:34:27,802
The other thing that I'd say is that,
581
00:34:27,806 --> 00:34:31,002
quite apart from the fact that
our shows are not worth $400...
582
00:34:31,006 --> 00:34:33,722
It's a little bit fast,
but we can work on that.
583
00:34:33,726 --> 00:34:35,082
... is that...
584
00:34:36,446 --> 00:34:37,562
Is he in?
585
00:34:37,566 --> 00:34:39,002
Oh, Christ.
586
00:34:39,006 --> 00:34:43,122
Lindsay, I need a quick word
about the numbers.
587
00:34:43,126 --> 00:34:44,642
Uh...
588
00:34:44,646 --> 00:34:47,682
- I am on my way out.
- Are upstairs worried?
589
00:34:47,686 --> 00:34:49,206
Mate...
590
00:34:50,886 --> 00:34:52,762
Mate, they're not thrilled.
591
00:34:52,766 --> 00:34:55,282
Well, they were always going to dip,
but they will go up again.
592
00:34:55,286 --> 00:34:57,882
- Yeah, mate...
- Now, we used to have a huge audience.
593
00:34:57,886 --> 00:35:00,442
- We still do.
- A serious news audience.
594
00:35:00,446 --> 00:35:02,482
And we lost them because,
at a certain point,
595
00:35:02,486 --> 00:35:04,242
- and I'm certainly not blaming you...
- Big of you.
596
00:35:04,246 --> 00:35:06,522
... we started serving
them glamour instead.
597
00:35:06,526 --> 00:35:07,526
Oh...
598
00:35:07,531 --> 00:35:10,081
Now, we can get those
viewers back, Lindsay.
599
00:35:10,086 --> 00:35:12,162
- Let's get me back into the field.
- Yeah.
600
00:35:12,166 --> 00:35:14,082
When I was a reporter
in Vietnam, Lindsay,
601
00:35:14,086 --> 00:35:15,802
people were riveted, riveted!
602
00:35:15,806 --> 00:35:17,842
No, yeah, Vietnam
was terrific for telly.
603
00:35:17,846 --> 00:35:20,266
But, mate, you and I both know
604
00:35:20,271 --> 00:35:22,886
the numbers, they go up, they go down.
605
00:35:23,406 --> 00:35:25,202
Probably all change tomorrow.
606
00:35:25,206 --> 00:35:26,562
Right.
607
00:35:26,566 --> 00:35:28,242
Okay.
608
00:35:28,246 --> 00:35:31,486
Whatever happens,
you and I must stay the course.
609
00:35:32,486 --> 00:35:33,726
Agreed?
610
00:35:35,426 --> 00:35:37,266
Mm. Of course.
611
00:35:38,926 --> 00:35:40,082
Good.
612
00:35:40,086 --> 00:35:42,602
- Just taking some time out.
- Hi, Jean.
613
00:35:42,606 --> 00:35:44,802
She's perfectly well,
614
00:35:44,806 --> 00:35:46,102
she's just having some time.
615
00:35:47,207 --> 00:35:49,602
I can promise you, Helen will be
back on your screen very soon.
616
00:35:49,606 --> 00:35:52,366
She's absolutely still part
of the News at Six team.
617
00:35:53,185 --> 00:35:55,041
Thank you. Thank you for calling.
618
00:35:57,286 --> 00:35:59,286
Uh, newsroom. Noelene speaking.
619
00:36:01,006 --> 00:36:03,282
After two decades
of rule, Philippines...
620
00:36:03,286 --> 00:36:05,882
You're doing something to your voice.
621
00:36:05,886 --> 00:36:08,882
I speed up if I don't try
and control the sound.
622
00:36:08,886 --> 00:36:11,842
Okay, well, just try one
just in your normal voice.
623
00:36:11,846 --> 00:36:13,082
After two decades of rule,
624
00:36:13,086 --> 00:36:15,562
Philippine strongman
Phil... Ferdinand Marcos...
625
00:36:15,566 --> 00:36:17,322
- Yeah, but you've got to talk to me.
- Sorry.
626
00:36:17,326 --> 00:36:19,162
You've got to impart
the information to me.
627
00:36:19,166 --> 00:36:20,882
I'm the audience.
628
00:36:20,886 --> 00:36:22,162
After two decades of rule,
629
00:36:22,166 --> 00:36:24,242
Philippine strongman Ferdinand Marcos
630
00:36:24,246 --> 00:36:27,206
- is facing an election challenge...
- Take a little sip of your drink.
631
00:36:33,126 --> 00:36:34,246
Okay.
632
00:36:39,847 --> 00:36:42,282
After two decades of rule,
Philippine strongman...
633
00:36:42,286 --> 00:36:43,802
Now you sound like you're attacked.
634
00:36:43,806 --> 00:36:46,002
Well, I actually feel a little bit
like I'm under attack.
635
00:36:46,006 --> 00:36:47,282
Where did you grow up?
636
00:36:47,286 --> 00:36:48,482
Bendigo.
637
00:36:48,486 --> 00:36:51,842
So imagine that you're there
and you're talking to your parents.
638
00:36:51,846 --> 00:36:53,122
It's just my mum.
639
00:36:53,126 --> 00:36:55,042
Okay, so imagine that you're
talking to your mother
640
00:36:55,046 --> 00:36:57,326
just calmly and clearly.
641
00:36:58,446 --> 00:37:01,722
You're imparting the information.
You want her to understand it.
642
00:37:01,726 --> 00:37:04,242
And she loves you.
643
00:37:04,246 --> 00:37:06,846
And she wants to understand
the story too.
644
00:37:08,046 --> 00:37:09,246
Okay.
645
00:37:14,366 --> 00:37:15,922
After two decades of rule,
646
00:37:15,926 --> 00:37:18,500
Philippine strongman Ferdinand Marcos
647
00:37:18,505 --> 00:37:21,380
is facing a fierce election challenge
648
00:37:21,385 --> 00:37:23,721
from a political novice, Corazon Aquino.
649
00:37:23,726 --> 00:37:24,726
Keep going.
650
00:37:24,731 --> 00:37:27,762
Ms. Aquino, the first woman to run
for president, has accused Marcos
651
00:37:27,766 --> 00:37:30,202
of being merely a front man
for his wife, Imelda,
652
00:37:30,206 --> 00:37:34,242
declaring, "May the better
woman win the election".
653
00:37:34,246 --> 00:37:35,406
Keep going?
654
00:37:37,366 --> 00:37:39,806
I'd really like to get my hands
on your hair.
655
00:37:41,006 --> 00:37:45,406
Like, just... just just to kind of
shape it a little bit.
656
00:37:46,526 --> 00:37:49,522
- Okay.
- Okay, so subtle, nothing too much.
657
00:37:49,526 --> 00:37:52,442
You know, 80% of what people
actually see is your hair.
658
00:37:52,446 --> 00:37:54,042
What kind of statistic is that?
659
00:37:54,046 --> 00:37:55,722
- They've done studies.
- What studies?
660
00:37:55,726 --> 00:37:58,922
You know, um, Geoff actually spends
more time in the make-up chair
661
00:37:58,926 --> 00:38:00,282
than he does behind the actual desk.
662
00:38:00,286 --> 00:38:02,722
And I gotta get a two hour
dye job once a fortnight.
663
00:38:02,726 --> 00:38:04,042
- Really?
- Yeah.
664
00:38:04,046 --> 00:38:06,082
See? Go take a look.
665
00:38:06,086 --> 00:38:07,242
Okay.
666
00:38:07,246 --> 00:38:09,802
I think at least 15% more attractive.
667
00:38:09,806 --> 00:38:12,606
I'm getting very suspicious
of your statistics.
668
00:38:25,886 --> 00:38:27,566
Actually, more like 20%.
669
00:38:37,466 --> 00:38:40,666
_
670
00:38:47,731 --> 00:38:50,531
_
671
00:38:51,036 --> 00:38:52,736
_
672
00:38:52,741 --> 00:38:56,741
_
673
00:38:57,421 --> 00:39:02,521
_
674
00:39:02,526 --> 00:39:05,922
This is ABC News
for Wednesday, 29 January.
675
00:39:05,926 --> 00:39:10,082
The highly publicised NASA mission
Challenger has ended in disaster.
676
00:39:10,086 --> 00:39:13,522
At approximately 3:30 Australian
time, the Challenger Shuttle...
677
00:39:13,526 --> 00:39:15,482
- Shh!
- ... exploded soon after take-off,
678
00:39:15,486 --> 00:39:17,722
killing everyone on board.
679
00:39:17,726 --> 00:39:20,482
It was the first space mission
to carry a civilian
680
00:39:20,486 --> 00:39:23,526
school teacher and mother of two,
Christa McAuliffe...
681
00:39:30,206 --> 00:39:31,322
Hello?
682
00:39:31,326 --> 00:39:33,242
Oh. Is this... ?
683
00:39:33,246 --> 00:39:34,682
I was after Dale.
684
00:39:34,686 --> 00:39:36,662
Uh, he's still asleep.
685
00:39:36,667 --> 00:39:39,721
Um, can you tell him
that it's Noelene from work?
686
00:39:39,726 --> 00:39:42,642
Tell him to turn on
the ABC Radio right now.
687
00:39:42,646 --> 00:39:44,362
- The Shuttle, with the teacher...
- Who is it?
688
00:39:44,366 --> 00:39:46,442
- ... exploded.
- Can you turn the radio on?
689
00:39:46,446 --> 00:39:48,762
Uh, okay, we're doing it.
Thanks, Noelene.
690
00:39:48,766 --> 00:39:50,082
Helen?
691
00:39:52,166 --> 00:39:55,482
The disaster was watched
live by millions of Americans
692
00:39:55,486 --> 00:39:57,042
and the families of the mission crew
693
00:39:57,046 --> 00:39:58,922
who had assembled
at the Kennedy Space Center...
694
00:39:58,926 --> 00:40:00,602
- You still on the updates?
- Uh, I think so.
695
00:40:00,606 --> 00:40:02,242
- Yeah, so you should go!
- Right.
696
00:40:09,966 --> 00:40:12,482
- Is the comms in yet?
- Comms feed will be in any minute.
697
00:40:12,486 --> 00:40:14,183
I reckon I've got
four good library stories.
698
00:40:14,187 --> 00:40:16,642
I've got the NASA training videos,
the interviews with the family...
699
00:40:16,646 --> 00:40:17,877
Have you done something to your hair?
700
00:40:17,881 --> 00:40:18,883
- Jesus.
- Gel?
701
00:40:18,887 --> 00:40:20,082
- Are you doing the updates?
- Yes, I am.
702
00:40:20,086 --> 00:40:22,042
- And I'm very well across the story...
- Rob! Where you going?
703
00:40:22,046 --> 00:40:23,682
- Uh, VFL Morning Show.
- No, you're not, mate.
704
00:40:23,686 --> 00:40:25,443
Get yourself into make-up
you're doing the first update.
705
00:40:25,447 --> 00:40:26,743
I understand I struggled
the other day...
706
00:40:26,747 --> 00:40:28,004
Dale, I saw it. It was a train wreck.
707
00:40:28,008 --> 00:40:30,281
You are a very good producer.
You're an okay reporter.
708
00:40:30,286 --> 00:40:33,202
You're not a newsreader.
It's just not you, alright?
709
00:40:33,206 --> 00:40:34,766
Comms feed is in!
710
00:40:41,806 --> 00:40:45,522
Lift-off of the 25th
Space Shuttle mission,
711
00:40:45,526 --> 00:40:47,962
and it has cleared the tower.
712
00:40:47,966 --> 00:40:51,082
Houston, Challenger roll program.
713
00:40:51,086 --> 00:40:52,686
Roger roll, Challenger.
714
00:40:54,886 --> 00:40:57,562
Good roll program confirmed.
715
00:40:57,566 --> 00:41:00,806
Challenger now heading down range. 94%.
716
00:41:01,905 --> 00:41:04,561
Engines throttling up.
Three engines now at 104%.
717
00:41:04,566 --> 00:41:06,762
Challenger, go at throttle up.
718
00:41:06,766 --> 00:41:08,406
Roger go at throttle up.
719
00:41:14,686 --> 00:41:16,442
- Look at that.
- They're the parents.
720
00:41:16,446 --> 00:41:18,722
- Oh, bugger me.
- Jesus Christ.
721
00:41:18,726 --> 00:41:21,742
Flight controllers here looking
very carefully at the situation.
722
00:41:21,747 --> 00:41:23,183
Major malfunction.
723
00:41:24,429 --> 00:41:25,865
What else you got there, Murray?
724
00:41:25,870 --> 00:41:29,837
There's... profiles with the
astronauts, and... some other stuff.
725
00:41:29,842 --> 00:41:31,242
- Alright.
- Uh, look, I'm...
726
00:41:31,247 --> 00:41:33,362
... I'm a sports reporter.
727
00:41:33,366 --> 00:41:35,042
I've never done breaking news.
728
00:41:35,046 --> 00:41:39,602
I know this story. I've reported
on it. I know it inside out.
729
00:41:46,526 --> 00:41:47,842
Walters Residence.
730
00:41:47,846 --> 00:41:50,162
Yeah, I'm just wondering
if, uh... if Geoff is there.
731
00:41:50,166 --> 00:41:52,082
No. It's his golf morning.
732
00:41:52,086 --> 00:41:53,562
Can I assist in any way?
733
00:41:53,566 --> 00:41:56,842
Well, um... we've got
some breaking news, Evelyn,
734
00:41:56,846 --> 00:41:58,722
and we need to extend the updates.
735
00:41:58,726 --> 00:42:01,799
Well, I could get the club
to dispatch a groundsman
736
00:42:01,804 --> 00:42:03,060
they're usually very efficient.
737
00:42:03,065 --> 00:42:04,361
Well, how long will that take?
738
00:42:04,366 --> 00:42:06,802
He'd... be with you before midday.
739
00:42:06,806 --> 00:42:09,446
Well, that'd be great.
Thanks very much, Evelyn.
740
00:42:10,326 --> 00:42:11,326
Fuck!
741
00:42:13,486 --> 00:42:14,566
Dale!
742
00:42:17,006 --> 00:42:18,762
You know this story inside out?
743
00:42:18,766 --> 00:42:20,086
Yes.
744
00:42:23,186 --> 00:42:24,822
Noelene...
745
00:42:24,827 --> 00:42:26,861
... get me Helen's home number.
746
00:42:26,866 --> 00:42:28,426
B-but she's...
747
00:42:29,366 --> 00:42:31,406
... at your place, isn't she?
748
00:42:33,566 --> 00:42:34,962
Yeah. Um...
749
00:42:34,966 --> 00:42:37,002
I'll call her. I'll get her in.
750
00:42:37,006 --> 00:42:38,006
What?
751
00:42:44,446 --> 00:42:46,682
- Hi.
- Uh, Noelene will be on the autocue.
752
00:42:46,686 --> 00:42:48,042
I'll be on the floor beside you.
753
00:42:48,046 --> 00:42:49,602
We've got three minutes
of the launch footage,
754
00:42:49,606 --> 00:42:51,322
we've got the US story
about the astronauts,
755
00:42:51,326 --> 00:42:53,562
we've got the story from
the other day about the teacher.
756
00:42:53,566 --> 00:42:55,682
- Do you wanna see the footage?
- No, no, no. I'll watch it on air.
757
00:42:55,686 --> 00:42:57,922
I wanna react the same time
as the audience does.
758
00:42:57,926 --> 00:42:59,442
Good on you for coming in, Helen.
759
00:42:59,446 --> 00:43:01,402
We really appreciate it, don't we?
It's fantastic.
760
00:43:01,406 --> 00:43:03,482
Okay, so, I think that this should
be more than an update
761
00:43:03,486 --> 00:43:05,282
I think that we should
stay with it for the hour.
762
00:43:05,286 --> 00:43:06,602
Uh, we don't have the footage.
763
00:43:06,606 --> 00:43:08,082
No, we just rotate the same footage.
764
00:43:08,086 --> 00:43:10,242
People have been listening to
the radio, calling their friends
765
00:43:10,246 --> 00:43:11,882
they're gonna to be heading
to their televisions
766
00:43:11,886 --> 00:43:13,202
and we need to be the ones playing it.
767
00:43:13,206 --> 00:43:14,682
We will be, Helen.
768
00:43:14,686 --> 00:43:18,162
There's a report coming in
apparently, Reagan's made a speech.
769
00:43:18,166 --> 00:43:19,682
Okay. So...
770
00:43:19,686 --> 00:43:21,842
... would it be safe to call this the...
771
00:43:21,846 --> 00:43:23,882
... the worst disaster in space history?
772
00:43:23,886 --> 00:43:25,202
- Uh...
- We're on in 15.
773
00:43:25,206 --> 00:43:27,042
How many died in the Apollo explosion?
774
00:43:27,046 --> 00:43:28,282
Uh, I think only three?
775
00:43:28,286 --> 00:43:29,621
So, yes, it's the worst.
776
00:43:29,626 --> 00:43:30,746
In ten.
777
00:43:31,966 --> 00:43:34,362
Thanks, Cheryl.
778
00:43:34,366 --> 00:43:35,842
Okey-dokey.
779
00:43:35,846 --> 00:43:37,882
And five, four...
780
00:43:42,046 --> 00:43:44,682
Good morning. I'm Helen Norville.
781
00:43:44,686 --> 00:43:46,242
We interrupt our programming
782
00:43:46,246 --> 00:43:48,842
to bring you breaking news
from the United States,
783
00:43:48,846 --> 00:43:52,522
which has just seen the worst
accident in space history
784
00:43:52,526 --> 00:43:55,682
the tragic explosion of
the Shuttle Challenger
785
00:43:55,686 --> 00:43:58,362
just a minute after launch.
786
00:43:58,366 --> 00:44:00,482
All seven astronauts aboard the Shuttle
787
00:44:00,486 --> 00:44:03,922
are believed to have perished
in the disaster.
788
00:44:03,926 --> 00:44:05,722
The mission attracted special attention
789
00:44:05,726 --> 00:44:08,882
because it involved
the first civilian sent to space
790
00:44:08,886 --> 00:44:14,082
schoolteacher and mother of two
Christa McAuliffe.
791
00:44:14,086 --> 00:44:16,602
Lift-off of the 25th...
792
00:44:16,606 --> 00:44:18,682
Uh, the next story's
gonna be about Christa.
793
00:44:18,686 --> 00:44:19,882
... cleared the tower.
794
00:44:19,887 --> 00:44:22,243
Houston, Challenger roll program.
795
00:44:22,248 --> 00:44:23,728
Roger roll, Challenger.
796
00:44:25,286 --> 00:44:27,882
Engines throttling up.
Three engines now at 104%.
797
00:44:27,886 --> 00:44:30,282
Challenger, go at throttle up.
798
00:44:30,286 --> 00:44:32,242
Roger go at throttle up.
799
00:44:39,745 --> 00:44:43,281
We are back in five...
800
00:44:43,286 --> 00:44:45,766
- What are her parents' names?
- Um... Uh...
801
00:44:47,086 --> 00:44:49,246
Grace and Ed. Grace and Ed Corrigan.
802
00:44:50,206 --> 00:44:51,686
Watching there...
803
00:44:52,726 --> 00:44:56,402
... Grace and Ed Corrigan,
Christa McAuliffe's parents.
804
00:44:56,406 --> 00:45:00,162
Just months earlier,
the McAuliffe family were jubilant
805
00:45:00,166 --> 00:45:03,642
when Christa was selected
from over 11,000 teachers
806
00:45:03,646 --> 00:45:07,362
for an opportunity that seemed
like a dream come true.
807
00:45:07,366 --> 00:45:09,962
- And we're... again in 30 seconds.
- Okay.
808
00:45:09,966 --> 00:45:11,642
Can I grab some water, Noelene, or... ?
809
00:45:11,646 --> 00:45:13,882
- Noels, can we get some water?
- Thank you.
810
00:45:13,886 --> 00:45:17,322
So, the next story's... uh,
story's about the six astronauts.
811
00:45:17,326 --> 00:45:18,802
Thank you. No, no, no, no.
812
00:45:18,806 --> 00:45:20,962
We... we wanna show the...
the footage of the explosion again.
813
00:45:20,966 --> 00:45:23,602
We don't wanna ever go more than
a few minutes without showing it.
814
00:45:23,606 --> 00:45:25,722
Can you give me something... ?
Give me another intro.
815
00:45:25,726 --> 00:45:27,722
- Like, something about the, uh...
- Uh... uh... I think the...
816
00:45:27,726 --> 00:45:29,242
- ... explosion?
- ... the main fuel tank exploded.
817
00:45:29,246 --> 00:45:30,402
- In five...
- Uh, yep, yep.
818
00:45:30,406 --> 00:45:32,522
The-the flames coming from
a defect in the booster.
819
00:45:32,526 --> 00:45:34,802
The flames couldn't be seen
from the observers on the ground,
820
00:45:34,806 --> 00:45:38,202
but they were picked up by
slow-motion footage from the launch.
821
00:45:38,206 --> 00:45:39,762
Okay, thank you.
822
00:45:39,766 --> 00:45:42,242
Official sources have now confirmed
823
00:45:42,246 --> 00:45:47,002
there is no hope the Shuttle's crew
survived the fireball explosion.
824
00:45:47,006 --> 00:45:49,722
It was the main fuel tank that exploded,
825
00:45:49,726 --> 00:45:54,202
with the flames appearing to come
from a defect in the booster.
826
00:45:54,206 --> 00:45:57,882
The flames couldn't be seen
by observers on the ground,
827
00:45:57,886 --> 00:46:01,162
but they were picked up
by slow-motion footage.
828
00:46:01,166 --> 00:46:04,561
Aboard the shuttle were
Mission Commander Dick Scobee...
829
00:46:04,566 --> 00:46:07,642
Breaking children's television
to show the deaths of seven people.
830
00:46:07,646 --> 00:46:10,980
Well, we have, uh, broken into
children's programming before,
831
00:46:10,985 --> 00:46:13,921
- when there's been a bushfire or...
- Yes. Yes. For public a service.
832
00:46:13,926 --> 00:46:15,002
CFA warnings.
833
00:46:15,006 --> 00:46:18,322
But we would never, ever show
footage of people dying, Lindsay.
834
00:46:18,326 --> 00:46:20,242
Yeah, the kiddies wouldn't
really understand it.
835
00:46:20,246 --> 00:46:23,802
Well, you've got her out there
explaining it in very basic terms.
836
00:46:23,806 --> 00:46:25,402
... excitement for Christa McAuliffe...
837
00:46:25,406 --> 00:46:27,162
Does just means she's reinstated?
838
00:46:27,166 --> 00:46:29,002
... and parishioner, who had become...
839
00:46:29,006 --> 00:46:30,846
I don't know, mate. I don't know.
840
00:46:32,046 --> 00:46:33,122
It's, um...
841
00:46:33,126 --> 00:46:34,522
We dropped again last night.
842
00:46:34,526 --> 00:46:36,962
A social studies teacher
at Concord High School,
843
00:46:36,966 --> 00:46:38,642
- Mrs. McAuliffe taught...
- Badly.
844
00:46:38,646 --> 00:46:40,922
... American history, law, economics,
845
00:46:40,926 --> 00:46:44,922
and a course that she designed
herself The American Woman.
846
00:46:44,926 --> 00:46:48,380
Soviet leader Mikhail Gorbachev
has sent a telegram of condolence
847
00:46:48,385 --> 00:46:50,641
to the United States President,
Ronald Reagan.
848
00:46:50,646 --> 00:46:51,682
Okay.
849
00:46:51,686 --> 00:46:54,202
The telegram read,
"We partake of your grief..."
850
00:46:54,206 --> 00:46:56,242
Uh, so, Reagan made a speech.
851
00:46:56,246 --> 00:46:59,202
He spoke directly to schoolchildren,
saying that the tragedy was...
852
00:46:59,206 --> 00:47:02,082
... part of the process of exploration,
853
00:47:02,086 --> 00:47:07,082
and he pledged that the Shuttle
program will absolutely continue.
854
00:47:07,086 --> 00:47:08,882
I've always had great faith in
855
00:47:08,886 --> 00:47:10,562
and respect for our space program.
856
00:47:10,566 --> 00:47:11,962
- ... cut out for 30 seconds.
- Cut out for 30.
857
00:47:11,966 --> 00:47:13,762
What happened today
does nothing to diminish it.
858
00:47:13,766 --> 00:47:15,962
- Okay. Okay.
- We don't hide our space programs.
859
00:47:15,966 --> 00:47:17,602
- We don't keep secrets...
- And, back in five...
860
00:47:17,606 --> 00:47:18,762
... and cover things up.
861
00:47:18,766 --> 00:47:21,282
United States President
Ronald Reagan there
862
00:47:21,286 --> 00:47:25,082
putting into words some of
the horror that we all feel.
863
00:47:25,086 --> 00:47:29,242
The impact of this tragedy
will be felt for months, years.
864
00:47:29,246 --> 00:47:33,442
But right now, our thoughts must be
with those children tonight,
865
00:47:33,446 --> 00:47:37,762
going to bed, having
tragically lost a parent.
866
00:47:37,766 --> 00:47:39,642
For the McAuliffe family,
867
00:47:39,646 --> 00:47:44,922
their beloved daughter,
wife, mother, Christa.
868
00:47:44,926 --> 00:47:47,526
When that Shuttle goes,
there might be one body...
869
00:47:50,886 --> 00:47:53,362
... but there's gonna be 10 souls
that I'm taking with me.
870
00:47:53,366 --> 00:47:54,442
Thank you.
871
00:47:57,366 --> 00:47:58,562
This has been Helen Norville.
872
00:47:58,566 --> 00:48:01,042
We'll return now to our
regular programming.
873
00:48:01,046 --> 00:48:04,762
Geoff Walters will be back
with the next update, on the hour.
874
00:48:07,366 --> 00:48:08,722
And we're out.
875
00:48:08,726 --> 00:48:11,126
Whoo! Whoooo!
876
00:48:12,026 --> 00:48:13,542
- You're incredible.
- Thanks.
877
00:48:14,708 --> 00:48:16,344
You're incredible!
878
00:48:17,710 --> 00:48:20,081
I just... Oh!
879
00:48:20,086 --> 00:48:22,286
- Thank you.
- Helen.
880
00:48:23,726 --> 00:48:27,221
Well done, pulling all that together
so quickly. Quite a feat.
881
00:48:27,226 --> 00:48:29,242
Oh, well, I mean, it wasn't just me.
882
00:48:29,246 --> 00:48:32,366
But, um... working up emotion like that.
883
00:48:33,966 --> 00:48:35,580
I wasn't working up anything.
884
00:48:35,585 --> 00:48:38,201
Oh, we both know you were.
885
00:48:38,206 --> 00:48:40,562
Look, some people will
probably applaud you for it,
886
00:48:40,566 --> 00:48:41,842
but I think, uh...
887
00:48:41,846 --> 00:48:45,202
... most would prefer that that
sort of thing is preserved for...
888
00:48:45,206 --> 00:48:47,926
... soap operas, not the news bulletin.
889
00:48:51,406 --> 00:48:52,886
We'll see.
890
00:48:57,446 --> 00:48:59,442
Thank you, guys. Thank you.
891
00:48:59,446 --> 00:49:02,966
Brilliant, Helen. Brilliant.
892
00:49:11,526 --> 00:49:13,522
Absolutely. Absolutely.
893
00:49:13,526 --> 00:49:16,882
Well done, you. Well done, Helen.
894
00:49:16,886 --> 00:49:20,562
Uh, would you, uh, consider
staying for the evening bulletin?
895
00:49:20,566 --> 00:49:23,362
I'm sacked. Aren't I?
896
00:49:23,366 --> 00:49:25,442
Oh, well, you know,
897
00:49:25,446 --> 00:49:27,642
you did... walk out on us.
898
00:49:30,966 --> 00:49:32,922
- I'll consider it.
- Hm?
899
00:49:32,926 --> 00:49:36,882
If you let me do an extended
update at 5:30, solo.
900
00:49:36,886 --> 00:49:40,102
And then I'd like to read the lead
at the 6:00pm bulletin.
901
00:49:40,107 --> 00:49:44,041
And I'd like to alternate
the lead story every other day.
902
00:49:44,046 --> 00:49:45,762
And then, every Monday, I'd like to do
903
00:49:45,766 --> 00:49:47,402
the special report of my choosing,
904
00:49:47,406 --> 00:49:49,002
with Dale.
905
00:49:51,326 --> 00:49:53,106
So, you put that in writing,
and, yeah...
906
00:49:54,086 --> 00:49:55,666
... I'll consider it.
907
00:50:06,406 --> 00:50:08,086
What's going on there, do you reckon?
908
00:50:09,126 --> 00:50:10,762
Dale Jennings?
909
00:50:10,766 --> 00:50:12,646
Who knew he had it in him?
910
00:50:32,846 --> 00:50:35,682
God, Helen, did I forget
to lock your door?
911
00:50:35,686 --> 00:50:37,202
- It... I don't care.
- I'm so sorry.
912
00:50:37,206 --> 00:50:38,842
It must've been in the rush
of everything,
913
00:50:38,846 --> 00:50:40,282
- and I just...
- No, it doesn't matter.
914
00:50:40,286 --> 00:50:42,602
Do you want to make sure that your
jewellery and your electronics... ?
915
00:50:42,606 --> 00:50:43,926
Dale, I don't care.
916
00:50:44,726 --> 00:50:45,962
- Sorry.
- Ugh.
917
00:50:45,967 --> 00:50:48,722
You're apologising for...
for leaving my door unlocked
918
00:50:48,726 --> 00:50:51,002
after you saved my life.
919
00:50:51,006 --> 00:50:52,362
Thank you.
920
00:50:52,366 --> 00:50:53,526
Oh...
921
00:51:05,166 --> 00:51:07,006
Why did you take those pills?
922
00:51:14,246 --> 00:51:16,366
- It wasn't like I...
- No, I know.
923
00:51:28,326 --> 00:51:31,162
You know those nights
when everything horrible
924
00:51:31,166 --> 00:51:34,242
that anybody's ever said
to you, or about you,
925
00:51:34,246 --> 00:51:37,842
and all the, you know, awful things
that you've ever done,
926
00:51:37,846 --> 00:51:39,882
just keep playing...
927
00:51:39,886 --> 00:51:41,566
... over and over in your head?
928
00:51:46,366 --> 00:51:47,846
And I just wanted silence.
929
00:51:56,646 --> 00:51:58,122
You know, you're incredible?
930
00:51:59,326 --> 00:52:01,642
- Wait till you get to know me.
- No, I mean it.
931
00:52:01,646 --> 00:52:04,086
And I could never do what you do.
932
00:52:06,126 --> 00:52:07,402
Yeah, you could.
933
00:52:09,206 --> 00:52:11,326
I think that ship has sailed.
934
00:52:18,726 --> 00:52:22,162
You know, I am a fucking disaster.
935
00:52:22,166 --> 00:52:24,086
But I'm also relentless.
936
00:52:25,086 --> 00:52:26,566
And I'm loyal.
937
00:52:27,726 --> 00:52:29,682
I think we can make you a newsreader.
938
00:52:31,206 --> 00:52:33,882
- So, come on, pick a story.
- No.
939
00:52:33,886 --> 00:52:35,682
Yeah. Pick a story, read it.
940
00:52:35,686 --> 00:52:38,322
Ugh, Helen, I have been up for 17 hours.
941
00:52:38,326 --> 00:52:40,922
Well, it's breaking news. You're on. Go!
942
00:52:40,926 --> 00:52:42,842
Oh, God.
943
00:52:42,846 --> 00:52:45,206
- What story would you like?
- Any one. Just pick any one.
944
00:52:48,126 --> 00:52:49,606
- Yeah?
- Yeah.
945
00:52:51,105 --> 00:52:54,121
"It's the toy line that's sold out
all over the country
946
00:52:54,126 --> 00:52:55,742
the Cabbage Patch Kids are..."
947
00:52:55,747 --> 00:52:57,642
Okay, so...
948
00:52:57,646 --> 00:52:58,886
... you sound dead.
949
00:53:00,326 --> 00:53:03,122
- Well, I feel dead.
- Just go again.
950
00:53:03,126 --> 00:53:05,602
"It's the toy line that's sold out
all over the country
951
00:53:05,606 --> 00:53:07,082
the Cabbage Patch Kids are..."
952
00:53:07,086 --> 00:53:08,686
And now there's judgement in your voice.
953
00:53:10,846 --> 00:53:13,362
- Okay. Should I try it again?
- Yeah.
954
00:53:13,366 --> 00:53:16,082
"It's the toy line that's sold out
all over the country
955
00:53:16,086 --> 00:53:18,002
the Cabbage Patch Kids..."
956
00:53:18,006 --> 00:53:19,962
"... the Cabbage Patch..."
957
00:53:19,966 --> 00:53:20,966
Yes!
958
00:53:22,366 --> 00:53:23,882
- That was it. That was good.
- Yeah, okay.
959
00:53:23,886 --> 00:53:26,602
Well, let me try that again.
I'm not quite sure what I did.
960
00:53:26,606 --> 00:53:28,366
Just relax.
961
00:53:29,966 --> 00:53:32,642
"It's the toy line that's sold out
all over the country
962
00:53:32,646 --> 00:53:34,726
the Cabbage Patch Kids..."
963
00:53:48,126 --> 00:53:50,162
So...
964
00:53:50,166 --> 00:53:51,962
You and Helen, eh?
965
00:53:51,966 --> 00:53:53,740
Have you been getting people
966
00:53:53,745 --> 00:53:56,001
making comments about us at work?
967
00:53:56,006 --> 00:53:57,482
People like to gossip about Helen.
968
00:53:57,486 --> 00:53:59,642
I just don't like people
talking about me.
969
00:53:59,646 --> 00:54:01,802
Are you sure that
this is just about the gossip?
970
00:54:01,806 --> 00:54:05,602
Is this your way of trying to tell
me that I'm a little bit too much?
971
00:54:05,606 --> 00:54:08,362
Geoff's 60th. You going
as Mr. Helen Norville?
972
00:54:08,366 --> 00:54:11,646
Are you going? 'Cause my
invite was "Rob and guest".
973
00:54:12,766 --> 00:54:14,522
Halley's Comet is returning,
974
00:54:14,526 --> 00:54:17,362
and Australia is being
gripped by comet fever.
975
00:54:17,366 --> 00:54:19,882
Geoff's not gonna be on
the desk for much longer.
976
00:54:19,886 --> 00:54:24,162
Are you saying that I
should consider my position?
977
00:54:24,166 --> 00:54:28,562
If you or the network
mistreat my husband in any way,
978
00:54:28,566 --> 00:54:34,606
I can assure you, the public response
will be utterly devastating.
979
