She is an excellent interviewer one on one. Great questions. Hard when needed but also with compassion.

Turns out the ‘expanded role with Sunday Night’ really meant something


I think this really showed Mel’s true talents compared to straight news and allowed her to be
herself.

Doing better work on Sunday Night than what she would have been doing on Sunrise.

TRAPPED
Her story could almost be one of her own television dramas, if it weren’t so frighteningly real – Aussie TV star meets dashing French millionaire. It’s love at first sight. There’s a luxurious penthouse in Paris, international fame, two young sons. What could possibly go wrong? As it turns out
 everything. Melissa George’s picture perfect life is in ashes – assaulted in her home by the father of her children, hospitalised and threatened with kidnapping charges. Stuck in the fight of her life, Melissa is breaking her silence. And as Sunday Night’s Steve Pennells discovers, she’s trapped in a living hell. You’ve read the headlines, now hear her story.

CHICKS RULE
It’s quite literally a game changer – a footy revolution. And it’s no token gesture. The national women’s AFL championship is the genuine article. That’s pretty remarkable, but even more so are the women themselves – their lives, their experiences, their struggles and their dreams. Sunday Night’s Melissa Doyle finds it takes a special kind of courage and determination to succeed in what’s always been a strictly male domain. But they’re doing it – magnificently.

DIANA’S LEGACY
This year marks 20 years since the death of Diana, Princess of Wales. And she’s still making headlines. Our Sunday Night Royal Event last week caused a stir in the media both at home and abroad. Diana’s closest friends revealed a woman we never knew. But the question remains, what will be her legacy? And how will she be remembered after all the scandals are forgotten?

@AustralianAerial she is still making headlines especially in the UK of course.

178

Technically it is the headline writers that are creating the headlines and it seems purely in the interests of selling their newspapers or magazines.

Why is that important? It wasn’t a commemoration service.

They probably wanted to get a jump on the competition. They’ll probably do a million other stories then and it would get lost in the scramble.

Also, wasn’t the butler spruiking his book? He probably gave them an interview to promote his book and then they decided to expand it to include the other key figures.

THE THREE AMIGOS
Vocal outbursts, uncontrollable swearing, twitching, head shaking, involuntary and repetitive movements and sounds, even momentary paralysis. This is all part of a normal day for young Aussies Adam, James and Cameron. They call themselves The Three Amigos. Best mates living with the bizarre, misunderstood and frustrating neurological disorder, Tourette’s. Their constant tics and uncontrollable outbursts made their lives hell. They would dread catching public transport, going to school, visiting a cafĂ©, shopping centre or cinema. That is, until they met each other. Sunday Night’s Rahni Sadler will introduce Australia to the most inspiring mates, breaking down barriers and helping others to face the world they feared.

ARNIE’S BACK, BABY
He was the ultimate muscleman – with charisma to match. Arnold Schwarzenegger inspired a generation of body builders before he conquered Hollywood. Now he’s got a whole new legion of followers – women who have discovered the joys of pumping iron. And there’s none more dedicated than mother-of-four, Sophie Guidolin. As Denham Hitchcock reports, Sophie never dreamed that one day she’d be out there, on centre stage, strutting her stuff alongside the tanned, taut and terrific.

MURDERED IN PLAIN SIGHT
Two beautiful women, the world’s deadliest poison and a paranoid dictator. It’s a chilling story of espionage and intrigue. The killing of North Korean leader Kim Jong Un’s half-brother Kim Jong Nam is almost out of the pages of a gripping spy novel. Murder doesn’t get more brazen than this. An assassination carried out by two young women inside a major international airport, using a weapon of mass destruction. Sunday Night’s Steve Pennells reports on the very bizarre and very public assassination and speaks to those on the inside.

BLOOD OF CHRIST
A statue that cries tears and weeps blood. Communion wafers that inexplicably transform into blood and flesh. Physical evidence of a divine presence? Or an elaborate hoax? To the faithful there is no question. To men of science, an intriguing mystery. Veteran reporter Mike Willesee has spent the past two decades investigating the truth behind a series of confounding happenings in churches around the world. It’s an investigation with all the ingredients of a Dan Brown thriller – exotic and dangerous locations, supernatural events, skulduggery in the Church. In Argentina and Mexico, blood and flesh mysteriously appeared on communion wafers. In Bolivia, a statue of the son of God appeared to weep tears and blood. Mike will reveal the results of his 20-year investigation in this Sunday Night major investigation, using microscopic samples and the very latest in forensic technology to answer the biggest question of all. Believer or sceptic, you’ll be stunned by what’s uncovered.

TREASURES OF THE DEEP
Sunday Night’s Melissa Doyle is taking a plunge. She’s off on an exciting and perilous journey into the deep unknown – to an unexplored world beneath the sea. It’s a treasure hunt on a grand scale, a search for untold mineral wealth happening in our deepest oceans. We’ve been given unprecedented access to China’s deep-sea exploration program. It’s a search that will reveal fantastic creatures and scientific wonders. It could also provide clues about the very beginning of life on earth. And everyone wants a piece of the action. Four kilometres under water, it is one of the most dangerous places on the planet, where one mistake could mean disaster.

Note change of timeslot like 60 Minutes.

I don’t think they need to move things forward because of 60 Minutes - the show has been doing well. I think its probably more related to MKR.
