Message Stick: Movers And Shakers
Sunday, 16 August 2009
Over two weeks, ABC TV’s Message Stick celebrates its
10th birthday in two shows - Something To Celebrate
(Sunday, August 9) and Movers And Shakers (Sunday,
August 16) by throwing a party and revisiting some of
the most inspirational programs shown on the program
over ten years.
The second episode, Movers And Shakers, is a program
of highlights from the last decade. From Olympic Gold
Medallist Cathy Freeman to the late land rights
campaigner and actor Bob Maza and the Torres Strait’s legendary Mills Sisters, these people
have extraordinary stories to share. These are intimate portraits of ordinary people achieving
extraordinary things against considerable odds.
Message Stick is the latest program produced by the ABC’s Indigenous Programs Unit (IPU).
The IPU was established by the ABC in 1987 with the objective of becoming a centre of
excellence for the production of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander television in Australia,
and to promote a greater understanding between Indigenous and non-Indigenous Australians.
This program is a celebration of that achievement.
Message Stick: Movers And Shakers will be repeated on ABC2 – Monday, August 17 at

Stephen Fry In America: Deep South
Sunday, 16 August 2009
Intrigued and bewitched by America’s most
characterful region – a place of cotton, courtesy,
gospel music and mint juleps – Stephen Fry explores
what it is that makes the south so distinctive.
This week Stephen joins coal miners deep underground
in West Virginia, meets a young man with the state of
Kentucky tattooed on his butt and enjoys a delirious
session of bluegrass music-making in Tennessee. He
has an encounter with a bear in the Smoky Mountains
and ascends in a hot air balloon above North Carolina.
Next, Stephen travels to the coast and learns the language of slaves in South Carolina, he’s
invited into a Georgian family’s old plantation house to join their Thanksgiving celebration
(and has a slightly nervy encounter with a horse), fails as a dancing escort in hot and flashy
Florida, and is moved by two very different events in Alabama: a parole board’s deliberations
and the extraordinary hoopla of a college ball game, complete with Air Force jets.

The Last Enemy
Sunday, 16 August 2009
Final
Having survived the bomb at the market but forced to
flee again, Stephen (Benedict Cumberbatch), Yasim
(Anamaria Marinca) and Michael (Max Beesley) take
refuge in the ‘swamp’. Michael is now getting ill as a
result of taking the tainted vaccine. Nye (David
Harewood) and Turney (Geraldine James), who still
have Michael under surveillance, watch with interest.
Russell (Robert Carlyle), however, is not out of the
game yet. He goes after Nye, breaking into his house
and copying his laptop's hard drive.
Watching Yasim and Stephen together, Michael works out the true nature of the bond
between them and confronts them. Yasim can't bear it and leaves, but while she's collecting
her thoughts in a café, she is approached by Russell. He reveals that he's been making
progress, and that it was he who abducted Cooper (Paul Higgins).
Russell takes Yasim, Stephen and Michael to his new hideout and brings Cooper to them while
Stephen gets to work on decrypting Nye's laptop. Cooper agrees to help, but needs samples of
other infected blood to compare against Michael's. Russell knows where the refugees who
arrived with Michael are being held, and Stephen volunteers to break in and get samples.
As Stephen holds the hands of the dying refugees while extracting their blood, he has a
revelation more explosive than he could ever have imagined. Stephen's world is turned upside
down as he realises that not everyone is who they seem.

Ashes To Ashes
Monday, 17 August 2009
It’s the week of the royal wedding and the streets are
buzzing with excitement. Alex (Keeley Hawes) has
mixed emotions in remembering the day. She was
eight years old at the time and remembers she was left
alone at boarding school to watch the event on
television. Her mother is also on her mind as she
appears on the television, embroiled in a high-profile
legal case with the Met. Being a fighter and an
optimist, Alex is determined not to let her memories
get her down, and enters into the spirit of things.
Gene (Philip Glenister), by contrast, is on edge. He wants to keep the streets quiet for Lady
Di’s wedding – so when a protesting family threatens to disturb the peace, he races onto the
scene. The Bonds are being forced out of their pub due to the redevelopment of the
Docklands and have barricaded themselves in as a protest. Gene sympathises with their cause,
but persuades them to keep quiet until Charles and Diana have tied the knot.
No sooner is that fire put out, than another one starts. News comes in of a bomb on CID’s
patch. An unlucky dog has been blown up, and now there’s a note saying that the next bomb
will target the developer, Danny Moore. Danny is a Thatcherite whose charm provides a
pleasant distraction for Alex, for whom the bomb scares have been painful reminders of how
her parents were killed. She is desperate to forget everything and Danny provides the perfect
escapism. But with a potential bomber on the loose, Gene needs Alex to focus on the task in
hand.

Finding The Fallen: Man And Horse
Tuesday, 18 August 2009
In World War I, men on horseback with swords fought
against an emerging modern weapon, the machine
gun.
In northern France, on the site of a cavalry charge into
the face of relentless machine-gun fire, the trench
detectives discover evidence of a desperate act of
bravery that stopped the German advance in the spring
of 1918, but decimated the ranks of a Canadian cavalry
unit.
It was the last great cavalry charge of World War I, and it was made by Canadian soldiers.
As the poignant relationship between these men and their horses is explored, a French farmer
reveals a mystery that leads the team to Rocky Mountain House, Alberta, to a car dealer
whose ancestor died on that fateful day and whose last resting place was, until now, unknown
to him.

Tony Robinson's Crime And Punishment: Guilty As Charred
Tuesday, 18 August 2009
Tony Robinson continues his quest to discover the
origins of English laws, who made them and why.
In this episode, he looks at the period up to and after
the Norman invasion, which was perhaps the most
turbulent in the history of law. But in the 150 years
from 1066, the legal system was transformed. This
period saw the signing of the Magna Carta and the
establishment of the three major principles of a
modern legal system: independent judges, trial by jury,
and English common law.
Tony demonstrates trial by flesh burning, visits a town where Norman ideas have inspired
punishments for modern day Anti-Social Behaviour Order offenders and discovers how a
muddy field in Surrey changed the course of international legal history.

Wednesday, 19 August 2009
The day of the new library’s official opening arrives and
Frances (Robyn Butler), anxiously rehearses her
speech, determined to use the occasion to re-stamp
her authority.
Although she thinks Nada’s (Nicole Nabout) decision to
get the Minister for Ethnic Affairs to open the library
was inappropriate, Frances is nevertheless over the
moon at the prospect of sitting alongside her.
Unfortunately the Minister is not remotely interested
in Frances or what she has to say, preferring to mingle with Nada and other guests at the

Australia's Heritage: National Treasures: Batavia
Thursday, 20 August 2009
Take a voyage of discovery with The Chaser’s Chris
Taylor as he reveals the secrets behind a fascinating
mix of treasures from Australia’s National Heritage List.
In the third season of five-minute mini-documentaries
in the National Treasures series, Chris travels around
Australia delivering historical snapshots of places from
the National Heritage List. Established by the Australian
Government in 2004, the National Heritage List is a
collection of places that contribute to Australia's
national identity.
Chris talks with experts and enthusiasts, revealing fascinating insights into our famous and
not-so-famous past. Visiting objects and places of significance, including Fremantle Prison and
the ruins of the Dutch merchant ship Batavia in Western Australia, the Eureka flag and the
Melbourne Cricket Ground in Victoria, Francis De Groot’s sword in NSW and the Naracoorte
Caves fossil mammal site in South Australia, Chris Taylor’s enthusiasm shines a welcome
spotlight on the sometimes forgotten gems that are an irreplaceable part of our national
story.
In the third mini-documentary of the series, Chris visits the stone ruins on Western Australia’s
remote West Wallabi Island - the oldest structures built by Europeans in Australia – which tell
a tale of mutiny and murder. Built as a fort in 1629 by survivors of the shipwrecked Dutch
merchant ship Batavia, the National Heritage-listed shipwreck site provides a lasting memorial
to the treachery of under-merchant Jeronimus Cornelisz, who had conspired to mutiny and
steal the treasure-laden ship before it struck a reef. The mutineers murdered more than 120
shipwreck survivors before most were captured, tried and hanged for their crimes. Batavia
was found in 1963 and is now on display at the Western Australian Maritime Museum. The
wreck convinced the Dutch East India Company to make accurate charts of the coastline,
putting Australia on the world map.

Whatever! The Science Of Teens
Thursday, 20 August 2009
Final
A typical teenager goes to bed late, and can’t get out of
bed in the morning. But while many adults regard them
as layabouts or lazy, the reality is most teens need
more sleep not less. Experts say adolescents require
between 9 and 10 hours sleep a night – but only a
small fraction get this much.
The Teens: In this episode we meet five self-confessed
teen night owls who help uncover the biological basis
for the typical teen sleep pattern; the impact sleep
deprivation has on teens; and how teenagers can restart their body clocks so they can get
more sleep. Jessica (16) stays up late working, and playing, on the computer. In the last two
years her family says she has become a completely different person in the morning – unable
to get out of bed in the morning, grumpy and uncommunicative. Oliver (17), Georgia-Rae (16)
and Laura (18), aka ‘The Dead Ghettos’, are an aspiring teen rock band who spend most of
their waking hours juggling writing and performing with their school and uni work. Simone
(16) has a body clock that is so out of whack her school work is suffering, and so is her family.
But she’s determined to find out how she can get a good night’s sleep.
The Science: The latest science shows teenagers have a biological basis for their sleep
patterns; their brains are wired to stay up late, sleep in, and sleep more. Add to this a modern
24/7 lifestyle, which bombards them with things that keep them hyper alert and wired, and
Australia is now creating a nation of sleep-deprived adolescents. Rather than sleeping too
much, teens are some of the most sleep-deprived members of the population, vulnerable to
devastating consequences on their physical and mental health.

Web Warriors
Thursday, 20 August 2009
Web Warriors offers an unprecedented glimpse into
the world's newest and most vulnerable frontier:
cyberspace. The film takes us into the world of hackers
like Mafia Boy - a 15-year-old high school student who
rose to infamy in 2000 by causing millions of dollars in
damage after single-handedly shutting down internet
giants - including Yahoo, Amazon, eBay, Dell, eTrade,
and CNN. We meet Donnie who goes on a journey into
the Russian cyber underground searching for the
creators of a computer virus with the hopes of
collecting the $250,000 reward being offered by Microsoft.
Computer viruses now have the ability to control millions of computers unbeknownst to their
owners, creating massive illegal computer networks known as ‘Botnets’. These ‘Botnets’ are
being put to illicit uses including identity theft and cyber extortion. A massive cyber attack
against Estonia in 2007 virtually shut down the country. Web Warriors offers rare interviews
with cyber sleuths from the FBI, the Pentagon, NATO, and the American Department of
Homeland Security who explain how cyberspace has become the latest battle ground between
nation states, and how terrorist groups are already plotting their next move.

George Gently: The Burning Man
Friday, 21 August 2009
Old-school police inspector George Gently has found a
new enthusiasm for his job after moving out of the
increasingly corrupt Scotland Yard, London in the
1960s to Northumberland. He has developed a fatherly
attitude towards cocky young Durham Detective
Sergeant John Bacchus and wants to prevent him
learning unethical police procedures.
They are called to a suspected IRA murder site where
the burnt body of a man is discovered near the RAF
base at Huxford. The only recognisable clue is a ring engraved from ‘Wanda’.
It is identified as coming from the vampish owner of a local transport cafe who was a former
lover of Irishman Rauri O’Connell.
A Special Branch officer enters the case, but Gently is suspicious of his motives. The officer
needs to know whether the body is that of O’Connell or that of a missing agent of his.
Meanwhile another man, a friend of O’Connell’s, O’Shaughnessy, has gone missing and a
shedload of sten guns stored at the RAF base, and to which he had access, is gone too.
Bacchus learns some harsh truths about Special Branch tactics and ultimately the grudging
admiration he has for Gently’s steely police intelligence and quaint manners rises.

Meanwhile, Art’s (Richard Roxburgh) star begins to

Lizzy and Vance (Tom Long) are increasingly drawn to each other, despite Vance vainly fighting

with no-one around but Vance to support her.
Bev, Rosemary and Len (Errol O’Neill) kick off their ‘bucket list’ with a hot air balloon ride,
however plans go awry when the balloon takes off leaving Len and Dirk, the balloon operator,
on the ground and Bev and Rosemary alone as the balloon floats into the sky.
It’s panic stations in the balloon, especially for Rosemary - but Bev takes the reins and her
calm in the face of danger marks the beginning of a genuine friendship between the two
women.
Meanwhile, Vance - unable to find Bev - steps up to the mark, transporting Lizzy to the Far Out
East in a wheelbarrow. With help from Art and Gerry (Nick Tate), Vance reassures Lizzy and
offers her his arm to bite on! With the welcome assistance of Bev, who arrives at the eleventh

Talking Heads: Jack Mundey
This week on Talking Heads Peter Thompson is joined by distinguished Australian union and
environmental activist - Jack Mundey.
Back in the seventies Mundey forged a reputation as leader of the Builders’ Labourers
Federation and as figurehead for the famous ‘green bans’. He persuaded his fellow union
members to ban work on any developments that might be destructive to the environment or
that would require important historic buildings to be demolished. At one stage it was
estimated they were holding up 3,000 million dollars worth of construction.
This extraordinary campaign, often backed by local communities, stopped Sydney’s Centennial
Park from being turned into a concrete sports stadium and its botanic gardens from becoming
a car park for the Opera House. Over 100 Australian buildings were saved.
Mundey’s crusading didn’t stop there. He also fought for safety reforms at building sites and
for unions to have a voice on social issues.
Now 80 years old, Mundey believes as strongly as ever that we must find a way to harmonise
with nature rather than try to conquer it.

Artscape: Artists At Work: Josh Yeldham
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, he carves 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.

The New Inventors
Hosted by James O’Loghlin, The New Inventors is bursting with the innovative and the imaginative,
the unique and the unusual, the fantastic and the fascinating. Deciding the winner of these three
inventions are: agricultural scientist Chris Russell, materials engineer Veena Sahajwalla, and
designer Alison Page. Inventions featured on the program:
TOPGUN – by inventor Rob Luck from NSW. Sealant guns are common in the average Australian
garage, occasionally making an appearance for the odd DIY job around the house. But for some
people this tool is a necessary component of everyday life. Traditional sealant guns are heavy,
inefficient and cause significant worker downtime and RSI. The problem with these guns is that
they require you to push the sealant through the tool with the force of your own grip. Injuries
suffered from this work costs $400 million a year in Australian compensation payments. While on a
temporary construction assignment, inventor Rob Luck was shocked that workers were still using
what he refers to as ‘dinosaur manual equipment’ in a power-tool age, and decided to develop the
sealant gun of the future. Topgun eliminates the risks associated with sealant guns by
revolutionising their design. The invention is a fully powered sealant gun that is 2-4 times faster
than traditional designs. The tool is controlled through a trigger that automatically pushes the
sealant out so that the operator is not required to manually create the pressure. Topgun is
extremely accurate, does not drip or run-on, is energy efficient, and has advanced safety features.
As well as creating a significant opportunity to reduce workplace injury, the invention’s increased
efficiency means it can pay for itself in less than three weeks.
GRID LOCK – by inventor Neil Beerens from VIC. 72-year-old Neil Beerens is making a record third
appearance on ABC inventing programs, having had two inventions featured on the original series
of The Inventors. Wire mesh panels have many uses, especially in construction and agriculture. The
only option on the market for temporarily joining these panels is to tie them with wire. Grid Lock
provides a permanent or temporary connection of wire mesh panels, replacing welding and wire
with a simple efficient joining device. Neil’s most successful invention has been on the market for
20 years, and he has won a gold and bronze medal at the Geneva invention competition.
SEIV – by inventor Michael Herrett from VIC. Dirt is just about everywhere on a mine site, and
when it gets inside heavy machinery it can affect the controls and switches of the cabin, as well as
creating an unhealthy environment for the operator. The cabin has to be cleaned out at the end of
every shift, but it takes a heavy toll on the vacuum cleaners, and one can assume that the average
miner is not that keen on vacuuming. The Self Emptying Industrial Vacuum, or SEIV, is an industrial
vacuum cleaner for the cabins of excavators, dump trucks, and any other large equipment on mine
sites. It is strong enough to withstand the harsh environment of outback mines, and empties itself
at the end of the job, giving miners a break.
The New Inventors will be repeated on ABC2 – Friday, August 21 at 4:30pm
