> Could this little girl help unlock a future where some forms of dementia is stopped in its tracks?
> 
> When Kate and Lachlan Page welcomed their first child Matilda, life couldn’t have been better. But at just three months old, Tilly was diagnosed with a cruel condition - childhood dementia.
> 
> The diagnosis was terminal. Her parents were told she would have just a few short years and her devastating decline would be like that of an adult dementia sufferer. Today, Tilly is nine years old, full of energy and “miraculous in her averageness”.
> 
> In this **7NEWS Spotlight** special investigation, Michael Usher meets the remarkable little girl who has made medical history - and investigates whether the breakthrough treatment could one day transform the fight against all forms of dementia.
> 
> "This is a story that I’ve wanted to tell for years, and now we can,” Usher says. “It’s an incredible medical miracle. A one-off fix for a little girl’s terminal diagnosis. An experiment that worked and stopped a very cruel diagnosis in its tracks.”
> 
> Tilly is among 40 children worldwide still being monitored as part of the groundbreaking gene therapy trial while they wait for the treatment to receive regulatory approval.
> 
> But for other families, time is running out. The revolutionary treatment remains tied up in red tape, leaving desperate families without access to the therapy that changed Tilly’s life.

Michael Usher and Liam Bartlett seem to do the heavy lifting on the show.

Couldn’t tell you what the last Ash Mullany story was.

And despite being centre of the promo shots, Liz Hayes has done one story this year, as far as I can recall.

> “It’s a 1930s system and we’ve kept that,” Smith tells Hayes.
> 
> Hayes also speaks to those working inside our control towers about the high-stakes reality of keeping thousands of passengers safe every day, as staff shortages and increasingly busy skies place greater pressure on the system.

They just aired a rather lenghty promo for the 70 Years of TV special which is airing next Sunday. The ender featured a transition of all the Channel Seven logos and was preceded by a brief glimpse of the colourful One To Watch ident.

### 7NEWS Spotlight Presents: 70 Years of Seven

[![](https://img.youtube.com/vi/-CMn7ACqqvA/maxresdefault.jpg "7NEWS Spotlight presents 70 Years of 7") ](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-CMn7ACqqvA)

**Seven decades of stars, moments and television magic**

For 70 years, Seven has been invited into Australians’ homes.

> Generations of viewers have laughed, cried and cheered alongside some of the country’s most memorable television moments, from \*Cop Shop, Kingswood Country and A Country Practice, \*to _Gladiators, Popstars_, _Fast Forward, Acropolis Now_ and of course _Kath and Kim_, Olympic triumphs, royal weddings, breaking news and unforgettable live television. Iconic moments that didn’t just capture the nation but became part of all our lives.
> 
> On the eve of the Seven Network’s official 70th birthday, settle in with **7NEWS Spotlight** this Sunday at 8.00pm on Seven and [7plus](https://us.list-manage.com/ouPszrt31NO?e=7d14eab263&c2id=9b19a3e9a692e1caa3c73569b0f2e321)for an extraordinary television event celebrating the people, programs and moments that have informed, entertained and united Australians since Seven first flashed ‘on air’ in 1956.
> 
> Host Michael Usher will be joined by some of network’s most enduring stars, including Bruce McAvaney, Georgie Parker, Larry Emdur, Sonia Kruger, Johanna Griggs, Natalie Barr and Effie, for this warm, funny, nostalgic and uniquely Australian night of television.
> 
> Packed full of rare archival footage, never-before seen bloopers, personal reflections and a few surprises, this is more than a celebration of television. It’s a thank you to the millions of Australians who have welcomed Seven into their lives, and shared in the moments, memories and events that have connected us for 70 years… and counting.
> 
> Michael Usher said: “How do you celebrate 70 years of magic moments on Seven? It’s an epic task! We began by bringing together seven big stars of Seven, who also just happen to be seven great friends. Between us, we share some great stories, great laughs, beautiful memories and powerful moments.
> 
> “This has been possibly the best TV show I’ve ever worked on. It’s a big television event. While we’ve each played a privileged part in bringing some incredible moments to Australian screens, we’re also viewers and TV fanatics too! Sitting down together to share our favourite moments reminded us of television’s unique role, and why it remains such an important part of our lives today.”

Hoping this’ll be good, but you know it won’t be and will focus on everything they shouldn’t and won’t give much time or any to the shows and people they should.

And I know it’s a ‘Spotlight Presentation’ or whatever, but Usher has been there like 5min, c’mon.

Also no doubt will be ATN Epping centric, despite HSV’s iconic heritage and successes. Really should’ve considered a separate special, at least for Melbourne. Similar to the ones 20 odd years ago, they were amazing and so lengthy and detailed (can be found on YT).

Musher had been at 7 for a decade now. ‘5 minutes’ is understating it a little.

Michael Usher has told TV Tonight how the 70 Years of Seven special was made, starting from his pitch to the producers early this year.
