ABC1 Program Guide: VIC: Week 21 Program Highlights Program Highlights Sunday 1:30pm Message Stick: Talking Stick: Climate Change Sunday, 17 May 2009 Over the next six weeks Message Stick presents a new series of studio chat programs called Talking Stick. In this series, presenter Miriam Corowa speaks to Indigenous and non-Indigenous insiders to discuss six topics of interest to all Australians. From the vexed subjects of Aboriginal health, education and justice, to national and international success in sport and music and the impact of climate change on communities across the country, Talking Stick provides a candid assessment of the state of the Indigenous nation. In episode two, Climate Change, the Indigenous perspective on this serious environmental issue – one of our greatest threats to survival - is considered. Predictions of devastating weather patterns and rising sea levels are already beginning to unfold and our shared future will depend on our ability to adapt and find new ways of living in harmony with the environment. As the world's oldest surviving culture, and one which has lived the principles of environmental sustainability for thousands of years, Indigenous Australians offer a profound depth of traditional knowledge. But nonetheless, Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander voices struggle to be heard in debates about water scarcity, carbon trading and the protection of our natural landscapes and wildlife. Miriam Corowa discusses these issues with three people who are on the frontline of change Joe Morrison, Chief Executive Officer with the North Australian Indigenous Land and Sea Management Alliance; Steven Ross, the Coordinator of the Murray Lower Darling Rivers Indigenous Nations; and Dr Donna Green, a research fellow with the UNSW Climate Change Research Centre. Her wide-ranging study interests include the impact of climate change on remote Indigenous communities in Australia's north.

In this journey of re-discovery, Sir David recounts his very personal experiences with the mountain gorillas of Rwanda. Ever since they were discovered over a century ago, the gorillas have been threatened by loss of habitat, poaching, disease and political instability. But despite all odds their numbers have increased. Sir David tells the extraordinary story of how conservationists like the late Dian Fossey have battled to save the mountain gorilla from the brink of extinction. His remarkable story reveals how these magnificent great apes have triumphed over adversity to become the conservation success they are today.

Before Brian goes, Megan acknowledges her feelings for him and the difficulty she is having dealing with them. Back at CCR, with a vital copper order already badly delayed, Max and Shane investigate mine-workers’ concerns over a faulty cage-lift. With the lift finally fixed, Megan has a bruising encounter with Max. Despite Max’s confidence that the mine can re-open Megan remains concerned that Max might be compromising safety in order to make up for lost time. Meanwhile, Caz’s pursuit of rare fossils finds her caught up in a terrifying situation that not only turns her world upside down but also draws her closer to Shane than she could ever have imagined.

Page | 3 ABC1 Program Guide: VIC: Week 21 Program Highlights Sunday 9:35pm Compass: The Retreat Pt. 2 Sunday, 17 May 2009 This series allows viewers an inside look at the spiritual side of Islam. Three British men and three British women leave their lives behind to embark on a soul searching, thought-provoking and life-changing journey. The British Muslim community is diverse and encompasses many ethnic groups. This program aims to break some of the stereotypes and misconceptions surrounding the Islamic faith. Made up of people from a variety of backgrounds, the group includes lapsed Muslims, casual followers, recent converts and the totally uninitiated, all seeking to gain a deeper understanding of the faith. Spending four weeks living in a Muslim retreat, in a beautiful but remote Islamic madrassa in Andalusia, Spain, the group will follow a more traditional, slower pace of life. As well as being offered guidance by the school, they will also meet with key teachers of Islam from the UK. Their focus will be to worship Allah, and to become more thoughtful, gentler, kinder individuals. But with strict rules to follow and none of the comforts of Western living, the road to enlightenment is not going to be easy. Daily filming and personal video diaries give us a true insight into the thoughts and feelings of our contributors as they undergo this amazing experience. It’s now 10 days into The Retreat. While Azim, Pom and Khadijah have immersed themselves in the intense daily routine of prayer, silent contemplation and spiritually uplifting work, Muddassar and Simon are both struggling – Muddassar to cope without his mobile phones and Simon to engage with his heart rather than his head. Aisha, however, is not engaging at all. She is a fervent Muslim, but claims some of the religious practices on the retreat are Bid‘ah – a deviation from Qu’ranic rules. To try and defuse the mounting tension within the group, retreat leader Abdullah Trevathan takes them on a two day visit to nearby Morocco. But will experiencing Islam in action have the desired effect? PRODUCTION DETAILS: Executive Producer: Rose Hesp. A Tiger Aspect production. Page | 4 ABC1 Program Guide: VIC: Week 21 Program Highlights Monday 9:35pm Spooks Monday, 18 May 2009 A new peace accord between Britain, America and Iran is threatened when armed infiltrators hijack a television broadcast. Secret diplomacy between the UK, USA and Iran has brought the trio to the brink of a pact that would avert a catastrophic war. Representatives of the three nations assemble for a live television broadcast to announce the agreement, whereby Iran will suspend its uranium-enrichment programme. By using his incarcerated wife, Ana (Agni Scott) as coercion, Ros (Hermione Norris) convinces Iranian Special Consul Bakhshi (Simon Abkarian) to persuade his government to agree to the accord and for him to appear at the announcement. But as the live transmission goes to air, armed infiltrators hijack the broadcast, demanding that transmission not be cut. The leader, Paul Mills (Mark Bazeley), reveals that he knows Iran already has full nuclear capability and that the peace accord is a sham, cooked up by Western powers desperate to avoid yet more military confrontation. Adam (Rupert Penry-Jones) and Ros, in the studio audience for the broadcast, must defuse the situation before someone is hurt, while back on the Grid the rest of the team investigate the hijackers’ identities and possible motivation. Meanwhile, Malcolm (Hugh Simon) must try to cut the transmission while convincing the infiltrators that they are still on air – if Paul Mills’s revelations become public knowledge then the global ramifications would be disastrous. Ben Kaplan (Alex Lanipekun), also in the studio but hidden, creates a diversion so that Adam and Ros can charge at the infiltrators. In the chaos that follows, Bakhshi is shot and begs the team to look after his wife, unwittingly revealing to Adam that she is still alive, and that Harry (Peter Firth) and Ros have lied to him.

Page | 6 ABC1 Program Guide: VIC: Week 21 Program Highlights Tuesday 9:35pm Mumbai Calling: Home Comforts Tuesday, 19 May 2009 The second episode of Sanjeev Bhaskar’s new comedy, set in an Indian call centre. Kenny Gupta is late for work and the streets are blocked with crowds arriving for a religious festival. His cab driver finds a way through by driving like a maniac. Today is the day that Kenny is launching a new service for drivers in the UK. It goes well, then not so well, and then it’s a disaster. Meanwhile, Terri has nowhere to live. Out of an act of Indian hospitality, Dev offers her accommodation at his house. Terri tells Dev’s family that she is his boss and this causes Dev to be ridiculed at home. By the end of the night, Terri finds herself sleeping in a bed with three of Dev’s relatives. Kenny is surprised that he is jealous of Terri staying at Dev’s house. But when he finds out that there is no relationship between the two, he comes up with a plan to help both Dev and Terri out of their unfavourable predicaments.

Page | 7 ABC1 Program Guide: VIC: Week 21 Program Highlights Tuesday 10:00pm Artscape: Artists At Work: Josh Yeldham Tuesday, 19 May 2009 Artists At Work invites you up the Hawkesbury River in NSW for an intimate and spiritual journey by boat, to a place where nature, art and fertility prayers collide. As Josh Yeldham creates new work for an upcoming exhibition, we gain a rare insight into the craft, process and philosophy behind his art. In this spectacularly beautiful landscape, abstract paintings, works on paper and totemic owl sculptures are created in nature with almost shamanistic intention. This documentary reveals the influence that Yeldham’s family life has on his current body of work. After the difficulties he and his wife Jo experienced falling pregnant, many of his works are conceived as fertility offerings. Now with the birth of their second child imminent, Yeldham is making two new pieces: a painting - Mother with Baby Owl, and a landscape work on paper called Wild Bird Rock. These two creations represent his final offerings to nature in the hope that their unborn baby will be given safe passage. Using a sander and even a solar powered dental drill to stunning effect, Yeldham is embarking upon a daring new shift in style. Looking for a much more textural approach, we see him carving into both paper and clay board to create the topographical illusion of ridges, gullies and creeks. A carved, almost indigenous dotting technique also gives rise to an owl abundantly filled with lilies, seed pods and bush flowers. The addition of 3D sculptural elements, moveable prayer wheels and even the radical addition of stringed musical components is a new approach that Yeldham hopes will impress rather than shock at an upcoming private collectors’ preview. Artscape: Artists At Work: Josh Yeldham will repeated on ABC2 – Sunday, May 24 at 7:00pm PRODUCTION DETAILS: Artscape: Artists At Work is produced by ABC TV. ABC TV Head of Arts, Entertainment and Comedy: Amanda Duthie; Executive Producer: Megan Harding; Series Producer: Karen Leng. Page | 8 ABC1 Program Guide: VIC: Week 21 Program Highlights Thursday 8:00pm Catalyst Thursday, 21 May 2009 Body Identity Why would anybody freeze off their own perfectly healthy leg? For most of us, losing a limb would be disastrous. But some rare individuals actually want amputation – and will go to extreme lengths to get it. Jonica Newby meets Robert Vickers, a man who froze his left leg with dry ice, in order to force doctors to amputate it. What was once considered to be the act of the psychologically disturbed has now been recognised as a very rare condition called Body Integrity Identity Disorder (BIID). To enter this strange world Jonica takes part in an experiment that tricks her into thinking she has swapped her body with Robert’s. She also discovers just how fragile the awareness of her own body really is. Robot Biomimicry The robot revolution hasn’t happened yet. But scientists at the University of California Berkeley are convinced their new way of designing and building robots will offer a world breakthrough in robot design. Their study of living organisms has offered a simple insight into structure, form and movement - which they’ve adapted to the world’s first robotic cockroach. They hope that what they’ve learnt might make robots ubiquitous and part of our everyday lives. Graham Phillips discovers how the ingenuity of nature may help develop technology that in a few years may make that robot revolution truly arrive. Sports Motion Today the difference between competitors can be measured in fractions of a second, and slight tweaks to technique could mean winning gold over silver. Sports engineers at Griffith University in Queensland have developed a matchbox-sized device which measures an athlete’s expenditure of power, direction of movement and efficiency of performance – while they’re training – so that they can adjust their performance. Maryanne Demasi heads to Queensland to put herself and the device through their paces. Catalyst will be repeated on ABC2 – Friday, May 22 at 5:30pm PRODUCTION DETAILS: An ABC TV Production. Page | 9 ABC1 Program Guide: VIC: Week 21 Program Highlights Thursday 8:30pm Cracking The Maya Code Thursday, 21 May 2009 Cracking The Maya Code is arguably one of the greatest of all archaeological detective stories. The Maya script is the New World’s most highly developed ancient writing system. Records of this written language were all but destroyed by European conquerors, who burned an untold number of Maya books. Today, only four known, partial examples survive. The ancient Maya civilisation of Central America left behind an intricate and mysterious hieroglyphic script, carved on monuments, painted on pottery and drawn in hand-made barkpaper books. For centuries scholars considered it too complex ever to understand – until recently when an ingenious series of breakthroughs finally cracked the code and unleashed a torrent of new insights into the Maya’s turbulent past. Unlike the Rosetta Stone, which unlocked the secrets of Egyptian hieroglyphs in practically one fell swoop, deciphering the Maya script involved a long series of hunches and tantalising insights as well as false leads, blind alleys and heated disagreements among scholars. Cracking The Maya Code presents the epic inside story of how the decoding was done and what Maya writings now reveal. As Maya inscriptions were slowly deciphered it became clear that this was an empire of divine rule and blood sacrifice, with warrior-kings waging constant battles, conquest and power struggles with rival lords. Today, the decoders are working with the descendants of the ancient Maya to link their spoken language with the deciphered glyphs, and modern Maya are reclaiming the rich and complicated history that has finally been unlocked.

Page | 11 ABC1 Program Guide: VIC: Week 21 Program Highlights Friday 8:30pm Silent Witness: Safe Friday, 22 May 2009 New Series The award-winning pathology drama Silent Witness returns for a gripping 12th series with 6 riveting new episodes. Emilia Fox, William Gaminara and Tom Ward are back as the team of forensic pathologists, uncovering the truth behind suspicious deaths in one of the most successful and long-running crime dramas. To forensic pathologists Professor Leo Dalton (William Gaminara), Dr Harry Cunningham (Tom Ward) and Dr Nikki Alexander (Emilia Fox), every body tells a story: who they were, how they lived, and most importantly, how they died. The dead person’s history is there to be discovered and the body is the key to unlocking the story. In this opening episode we see Leo arrested for drink-driving. The end result is that he finds himself doing community service on a rough London estate, where gang violence among kids is common. When Nikki investigates the murder of a young girl from the same estate, Leo finds himself in the midst of a violent turf war. Elsewhere, Harry mentors an eager medical student who seems more interested in the media frenzy over his latest case than pathology. But when information about the death of the journalist is leaked, Harry finds himself drawn into a tangle with a Russian oligarch. And when Nikki investigates an armed raid on a terrorist cell, she faces increasing police hostility to her investigation as she begins to suspect the victims are innocent….

Page | 12 ABC1 Program Guide: VIC: Week 21 Program Highlights Saturday 8:30pm The Bill Saturday, 23 May 2009 Saturday May 23, 8:30pm – Ep 657 - One Year On Sgt. Dale Smith (Alex Walkinshaw) and DC Kezia Walker (Cat Simmons) investigate a serious assault on a cab driver. A travel card found at the scene leads them to two sisters - one with a baby - battling to survive in their council flat. The girls are reluctant to talk to the police, so Smithy enlists the help of an old friend, Leanne Samuels (Lorna Brown), who runs the centre where one of them works. Leanne and Smithy met when her daughter was murdered a year before, and bonded as a result. However, even with Leanne’s help the girls’ story is confusing, but it’s the true extent of the victim’s injuries that is the key to what happened Saturday May 23, 9:15pm – Ep 658 – Bleeding Heart PCs Nate Roberts (Ben Richards) and Ben Gayle (Micah Balfour) respond to an attempted break-in, but suspect that the daughter of the house may have had a party and not told her mother. They’re then called to help a young man found lying unconscious nearby, and the nurse in the ambulance, Maria Joseph (Rachel McDowall), recognises him as a friend of her brother’s. Nate finds himself attracted to Maria, and is anxious to follow any other leads, so he asks to talk to her brother. Enquiries are made at a local football club where both boys are members, and suspicion falls on a drug dealer who has been frequenting the club trying to recruit young men. Complications arise when the girl who had the party goes missing, and police fear the attacker may be after her.

In 1976 Allen gave up a promising career in psychology to start what was considered a pretty unsavoury business. But her determination and professional approach would pay off. These days Yvonne Allen and Associates is a successful and respected brand name. And Allen, for so long a ‘singleton’ herself, has finally found her own perfect match. Talking Heads will be repeated on ABC2 - Tuesday, May 19 at 5:05pm Page | 14 ABC1 Program Guide: VIC: Week 21 Watch Out For… Wednesday, 20 May 2009 8:00pm The New Inventors Hosted by James O’Loghlin, The New Inventors brings you the best in new Australian inventions. From exciting innovations to eccentric designs, inventors across the country are working to improve the way we live. Deciding the winner of these three inventions are: agricultural scientist Chris Russell, science broadcaster Bernie Hobbs, and designer and inventor Sally Dominguez. Inventions featured on the program: Invention 1 HOOLEY DOOLEY – by inventor Lionel Clyve Thomas from VIC. The invention of the fridge has revolutionised the way we live. However, when it comes to outdoor events, large fridges are awkward and difficult to move. The Hooley Dooley is a portable system for outdoor catering and events. The invention is easily erected and dismantled so that it can be conveniently moved from site to site. What's more, it is a modular system that incorporates both heating and cooling compartments, creating a versatile design that can handle all food types. The Hooley Dooley can be assembled in approximately five minutes, and requires no tools. The invention can then be collapsed into a portable unit for the next job. Invention 2 BED BUG BARRIER – by inventor Tony Abrahams from VIC. Bed bugs are not just a problem for backpackers anymore, with infestations rising 4500% across the community since 1999. Bed bugs cannot fly, so the easiest route to their evening meal is to crawl up the legs of a bed. The Bed Bug Barrier prevents bites by blocking the bugs’ access to the bed. The invention is easily attached to the bed legs in a manner that is discreet and will not attract the attention of hotel guests. The bed bugs crawl up into the unit, where they are trapped inside by an impassable barrier glue. The bugs cannot escape and will die inside the trap, out of sight of the room occupant. The barrier glue is made of safe, non-toxic gums, oil and tree residue, and will last for years before it needs to be replaced, making it an effective and affordable solution. Invention 3 BEEHIVE SCALES – by inventor Andrew Janiak from VIC. Beekeepers need to keep a constant check on the health of their hives, but opening them too often can be disruptive for the colony. One solution is to weigh the hives, which indicates how much honey is inside. However, the hives can be heavy, and lifting them repeatedly is bad for your back. Beehive Scales is a twopart system that allows quick, low cost weighing of beehives in a manner that saves the health of the bees and the beekeepers. The invention consists of a simple hinged timber platform that sits permanently under each hive, and a portable scale. The scale is inserted between the two halves of the platform, and the handle is lifted to determine the weight. The scale has 1:10 leverage, which means you only need to lift one tenth of the actual weight of the hive. The device is also designed so that you cannot lift the hive more than an inch, resulting in minimal disturbance to the bees and limited strain for the beekeeper’s back.
