Bit misleading to brand a stand alone documentary as “Sunday Night” when it is nothing to do with the show.

Melissa Doyle is in London obviously to host this week’s show. Personally really looking forward to watching this special, l think it could deliver massive ratings.

If they’ve sent Mel to London, I thunk they probably want to make it look like a Sunday Night production. Wouldn’t be surprised if they dub Mel’s voice over the original narration.

There’s not too much of interest in that doco that hasn’t been reported on during news bulletins earlier in the week when it aired in the UK and USA.

The controversial secret Diana tapes making world headlines…
COMING SOON
Diana’s journey from a shy newly-wed to the most famous woman in the world is told using a series of never-before-seen, uncensored video recordings from her speech lessons with Peter Settelen.
This exclusive Sunday Night special explores Diana’s life with filmed conversations that are unique for their directness and disarming frankness as Diana speaks candidly about the Queen, Prince Charles, their marriage, his affair and her lovers.
Diana’s ambitions and fears, for herself and her children, will be explored and a portrait of the private Diana will emerge to complement the public one we already know. The life-journey of a strong, and sometimes flawed, young woman who was widely revered by many. A mother determined to do everything in her power to protect her children.

MANIFESTO OF MURDER
9.30pm, Sunday the 9th of August 1987 - that’s when the carnage and the cold-blooded massacre began. 19-year-old Julian Knight opened fire in Melbourne’s Hoddle Street and methodically shot more than 20 people. One after another. Now after 30 years, Sunday Night has been given exclusive access to Knight’s private diaries which reveal exactly what was going on in his tortured mind that night. They’re some of the most chilling words ever written. Even more so when you realise Knight has served his sentence and could be eligible for parole. Join host Melissa Doyle as she reveals the meticulously detailed confession of the man who committed one of Australia’s worst massacres.
CAROLE KING
There’s no-one quite like Carole King. She’s an absolute legend. She wrote her first hit song as a teenager and followed that up with over a hundred more. Then she turned singer and released Tapestry, one of the biggest selling albums of all time. And now there’s an award-winning Broadway show – the story of her life, loves, and of course, her music.But there’s one chapter you won’t see on stage. Her darkest, most painful secret. A secret she shares with Steve Pennells in this exclusive interview.

THE RISE AND FALL OF THE HOUSE OF IBRAHIM
John Ibrahim likes to call himself Mr Legit, an honest businessman. For years, there have been rumours, gossip and allegations. Yet nothing has ever been proved in a court of law. Hence Mr Teflon. Then came the international police raid that netted two of his brothers, his son and his girlfriend.
Matt Doran presents an eye-opening investigation exposing the new underbelly of Australian crime; the billion-dollar bust that rocked the Ibrahim family and how Mr Teflon managed to stay above it all.
ELVIS AND PRISCILLA
Elvis Presley died 40 years ago in Memphis Tennessee on August the 16th 1977. Yet the legend lives on. His spectacular life and tragic death have been the subject of countless books and movies. But there’s only one person who knew him. His ex-wife Priscilla. She met him when she was 14 and remained his closest friend through to the bitter end.
Mike Armor interviews Priscilla at a time in her life where she’s ready to tell some of the untold stories of the man behind that legend.

SUNDAY NIGHT will air the controversial program DIANA – THE SECRET TAPES on Sunday, August 27 at 8.00pm.
This Sunday Night special explores Diana’s life from a shy newly-wed to the most famous woman in the world through a series of never-before-seen, uncensored video recordings from her speech lessons with Peter Settelen.
An unguarded Diana speaks candidly about many topics including the Queen, Prince Charles; their marriage and his affair with Camilla, and her lovers.By 1992 the Princess’ marriage to Charles was in trouble and sparked her illicit cooperation with Andrew Morton on his 1993 book release ‘Diana: Her true story’. Diana’s appearance on BBC TV’s Panorama followed in 1995, which led directly to her divorce from Charles.
Between these two dates Diana spent several months secretly learning how to deliver speeches - what her story would be and how to present herself. These sessions with her speech coach were central to Diana’s transformation from, in her words, ‘a fat podgy Sloane’ to arguably the most famous woman in the world at the time of her death in 1997.
These sessions were filmed on an amateur video camera and capture the only known unmediated footage of Diana. In this footage, the Princess is lively, mischievous, humorous and enormously charming - a glimpse of the private Diana.
Those who knew Diana personally are interviewed for DIANA – THE SECRET TAPES. Anne Allan, who worked with Diana as her dance teacher for nearly a decade; Dr James Coulthurst, who knew Diana before she married Charles, and maintained their relationship up until her death; Ken Wharfe, her former personal bodyguard; and Patrick Jephson who for almost a decade looked after her official business.

CA$HED UP KITTIES
No doubt about it, cats really do make us laugh out loud. But If you thought those cute and hilarious YouTube videos were just a passing fad, you’d be wrong. Cats now rule the internet and some felines – and their lucky owners – are making an absolute fortune from their fame. It’s now a multi-million industry and this week on Sunday Night, you’ll meet the families behind some of the world’s biggest feline stars and learn the secrets to their success.
JENNA THE BRAVE
At four years old Jenna Hansford was like any other child her age, until she was struck down with a deadly strain of meningococcal. But miraculously, Jenna defied the odds. Two-years on and 30 operations later, this brave little battler surprised both her family and doctors with her courage and resilience. But her survival wasn’t without some severe side effects. As part of her treatment, Jenna’s right arm was amputated below the elbow and she lost the fingers on her left arm. One of the most frustrating parts of the entire ordeal for Jenna and her family was that she was immunised, but she caught a strain of the disease most parents don’t know exists. Sunday Night’s Alex Cullen sits down with Jenna and her family in this emotional interview.
GOLDEN GOLDIE
Whatever happened to Goldie Hawn, Hollywood’s classic ditzy blonde with the dimples and the infectious giggle? She just seemed to disappear from our screens. It turns out Goldie decided her family was more important than fame, so they packed up and moved to Canada. That was 14 years ago. But this year she came back to the big screen with a vengeance and an unlikely co-star - the brash and brazen comedienne Amy Schumer in the movie ‘Snatched’. And as Mike Amor discovers, Goldie’s still the golden girl we first fell in love with.
Not only does this exist as a story, but it’s the top billing story for the week?

Thought Rahni Sadler left Seven some months ago?
So this “Cat Video” story must’ve been recorded earlier this year?
Didn’t realise SN held off stories that long!?

We’ll show you how to put your own skills to the test.
ALL OF ME

And despite the illness and unpredictability of each day, has managed to take control of her life. But how could all this happen? How does it possibly work?

ABBA: SPECIAL ANNIVERSARY EVENT
This Sunday Night, we celebrate a very special anniversary.
Forty years ago, Australia was gripped by ABBA mania.
The young Swedes were mobbed everywhere they went.
Young and old lined the streets and packed their concerts.
We embraced them wholeheartedly as honorary Aussies.
Which was fitting, because without Australia, they might not have become one of the greatest music groups on earth.
Reporter Rahni Sadler, who has been following them for years, now celebrates that tour Down Under and unveils the secret plan for a spectacular ABBA reunion.
