20/20 Back With Local Stories
THIS WEEK ON 20/20
Thursday 8th April 2010, 9.30pm TV2
Don’t miss 20/20 – the best of New Zealand and international Current Affairs presented by Miriama Kamo with reporters Pete Cronshaw, Beth Bates and Sonya Wilson.
This week on 20/20:
QUIET PLEAS: We’ve all been there… the throbbing bass is spilling over from next door where they’re having yet another party. Or the neighbours have thoughtfully bought their teenage son a drum set… and he’s keen to practice day AND night. Ten years ago you might’ve gone next door and asked them to turn it down. But it seems more and more of us simply reach for the phone and call noise control. Tonight 20/20’s Beth Bates goes out on the beat with those trying to keep the peace … and in an exclusive interview, she finds out what caused a Napier Dad to use an axe and a tomahawk in a desperate bid for quiet in his neighbourhood.
BREAKING POINT: There are times when all parents struggle with feisty kids and troubled teens. But tonight on 20/20 you’ll meet the families really doing it tough, after their children have been diagnosed with schizophrenia. The parents of 7 year old Jani have made the extraordinary decision to live in separate homes, so she can’t hurt her baby brother – while 9 year old Rebecca’s mother reveals her shock when her angelic daughter tells her of her vivid fantasies and plans to kill her.
THE REAL BLIND SIDE: All the talk after the Oscars has centered on Sandra Bullock’s marital woes… with husband Jesse James accused of multiple affairs. It’s a scandal that’s almost overshadowed her award-winning movie, The Blind Side. But 20/20 goes behind the scenes to talk to the family who inspired the movie, when they took in homeless teenager Michael Oher and helped him realise an incredible dream. It’s a heartwarming story set to hit the New Zealand box office early next month.
POKER FACE: It’s the interview that had the entire music world talking – when Lady Gaga dropped her poker face and revealed all in an exclusive interview with 20/20. She talks about her out-of-this world fashion sense, just what she means when she’s “bluffin’ with her muffin” and all those rumours she’s actually a man. Plus you’ll see early footage of her performances… and find out how her career helped save her Dad’s life.
PLUS The Colour of Love – They’re ten year old twins who turn heads wherever they go… not so much for their incredible similarity… but rather for their one incredible difference. 20/20 talks to the boys who’ll give you a new perspective on just how strong family bonds can be.

Opensouls
I've just finished the edit on my 1st story of the year, it's a profile on the incredibly talented band The Opensouls. If you've never heard these guys you've gotta get their new album Standing In The Rain, it's gorgeous this is a bunch of seriouslly talented people.
I'm not sure when it will be running yet I'll let you know when I know but in the meantime buy the album or even better get out and see them live. The Opensouls will be playing at the Zoo on the 12th of March and trust me when I say these guys rock live.

We Have An Idol On 20/20
THIS WEEK ON 20/20
Thursday 26th of November\2009, 9.30pm
Don’t miss 20/20 – the best of New Zealand and international Current Affairs presented by Miriama Kamo with reporters Sonya Wilson, Beth Roche and Hugh Hughes.
This week on 20/20:
Stan the Man:
We meet the Kiwi kid being idolised by Australia!
Stan Walker is hot - but his chilling upbringing will leave you cold. If you’ve followed `Australian Idol’, you’ll know he’s the product of a `Once Were Warriors’ upbringing. But did you know Aussie’s new sex symbol was also the victim of sexual abuse? Stan Walker talks exclusively to 20/20 about his tragic childhood and new found fame.
Blown Away:
Johanna Orozco seemed to have it all ... until jealousy and rage changed her life forever.
Juan Ruiz – once the love of her life – fired a shotgun at her head and since then the once pretty and popular teenager has endured a medical marathon of reconstructive surgery. The hideous crime shattered her face … but not her beauty. A remarkable story of courage, strength and grace!
The Terrible Tic:
One little girl’s struggle with unwanted tics!
13-year-old Isabella loves to sing, dance, write poetry and dreams of being an actress but Tourette Syndrome has left her a stranger in her own body. Home has become a safe haven from the judgement of the outside world. However if you look beyond the screaming and twitching you’ll meet a truly remarkable girl.
Cat Women:
They are a mysterious breed – women who fill their homes with cats instead of kids. Why do they do it? Are they just crazy for cats, just crazy, or is there more to their feline fancy than meets the eye?
And:
20/20 has an exclusive peak at Rihanna’s new video: “Russian Roulette.”

This Week on 20/20
This week on 20/20:
Victim Statement:
The terror and tragedy of 56 seconds!
On Auckland Anniversary Weekend our biggest city’s motorway came to a stand-still. A gun man was on the loose – speeding through West Auckland and firing a barrage of shots at the police helicopter. The chase ended with an innocent bystander being shot dead and many more being scarred for life. We look at the ripple effect of 56 seconds of madness.
Rihanna Unplugged:
Rihanna breaks her silence for the first time!
Domestic violence shattered the superstar’s fairytale relationship with fellow singer Chris Brown. In a revealing interview, Rihanna talks about what really happened that night and how she feels about her once true love being sentenced to community labour, five years of probation and a year of domestic-violence counselling.
The Lost Generation:
The terrible tragedy of Aids!
We travel to Africa to meet the lonely generation. They have no mums and dads! In some remote villages, the entire adult population has been wiped out by the AIDS pandemic – forcing the children to become grown ups before their time.
Superfreakonomics:
Turning conventional wisdom up side down …
How can a doctor’s tie kill you? Why should emergency rooms be put in airports? We have some surprising revelations about staying alive!

The Kids Are Alright Hopefully
We've just finished putting together a story that runs tonight on 20/20 on a teen rehab programme. Have a watch tonight, some young lives off to a difficult start.
Id just like to say thanks to the guys that let us follow them through what is a difficult personal journey.
Some of the stories are heartbreaking, but it is amazing how much kids can bounce back and bravely face the future.

Puppies In Prison
THIS WEEK ON 20/20
Thursday 15th of October\2009, 9.30pm
Don’t miss 20/20 – the best of New Zealand and international Current Affairs presented by Miriama Kamo with reporters Sonya Wilson, Beth Roche and Hugh Hughes.
This week on 20/20:
Prison Pups:
They’re some of New Zealand’s worst criminals yet they’re finding unconditional love behind bars.
We go inside Auckland Women’s Correctional Facility to meet four offenders and their canine cellmates. To a victim scarred by crime, it may be difficult to feel generosity toward offenders, or to condone any programme that may make life easier. But these wonder dogs are helping hardened criminals, society and the disabled.

Gin - Straight Up
This week on 20/20:
Gin – Straight Up:
Gin Wigmore – if you don’t know the name you soon will!
The 23 year old from Auckland’s North Shore hooked up with “Smashproof” earlier this year and helped create the longest running kiwi chart topper “Brother”. More recently she’s been in L.A. recording her debut full length album with producer Mike Elizondo. That’s Mike – Eminem, 50-cent and Maroon 5 – Elizondo. She’s been compared with Amy Winehouse and Macey Gray and is in very real danger of becoming world famous.

Sometimes We Actually Do Good
A couple of weeks age 20/20 ran a story about a wee girl named Grace who couldn't or wouldn't eat. It was a heartbreaking tale of a family doing the best they could with what they have. In the story we spoke to another couple whose daughter had the same problem and had travelled to Austria where a University ran a clinic that helped with great success.
Pip and Gareth the parents of wee Grace did not have the money needed to travel to the Austrian clinic but, after the airing of our show a couple came forward and said theyed like to help.
A trust has been set up and Grace may yet get the help her parents so desperatly want to give their little girl.
Often in the media it feels like we're tearing things down it's nice to help every now and then, I'm also constantly amazed at how mean people can be, yet equally amazed at how kind and generous they can be.

Back To Badwater
This time last year reporter Sonya Wilson, cameraman Chris Brown and myself as producer headed to Death Valley USA, our mission was to film a story about a remarkable woman from Taranaki New Zealand. Lisa Tamiti's mission was to run 217km through possibly the hottest place on the planet.
What Lisa achieved on that trip was one of the most amazing sporting feats I've ever seen, and I've covered allot of sporting events. In just hours Lisa sets off again in what is the toughest foot race on the planet, and I thought I would post a link to the story we shot last year, give it a watch it's called The Amazing Race for good reason.
Good luck Lisa

This weeks 20/20 Promo
Nil by Mouth:
Kiwi kids who refuse to eat – refuse to drink!
Grace is just five years old, but she has never eaten – never drunk. A gastric tube is the only thing that keeps her alive. Nothing has passed her lips since the day she was born. It is a horrible condition that is literally consuming her life. No one knows for certain how many kiwi kids are affected by this weird phenomenon. It could be hundreds! It could be thousands! It is a parent’s worst nightmare and the cure is almost as cruel as the condition.

Steph Coldstream
A couple of months ago Beth Roche and I did a story about a mother daughter stunt riding team for 20/20. It is with great sadness that I post notice of her death, Steph passed away yesterday morning after what can only be described as a very brave battle with breast cancer.
Our thoughts are with Kody her youngest daughter and the rest of the family, all of whom were a pleasure to meet during the filming of Stephs story.
You can watch the story again at this link. http://tvnz.co.nz/20-20-news/coming-up-20-20-taking-reins-2678931/video

Reaction To 20/20 Story
We had such a huge reaction to the story about Rachel Francis the former prostitute and brothel owner that I thought I would post this link http://www.votemenot.co.nz/thread/35926781/so-is-anyone-writing-to-tvnz-20-20/ . It demonstrates the the strength of opinion this subject generates some of it in my opinion bigoted and ill informed.
