Boy Cheerleaders

Sunday, 28 October 2012

On a South Leeds estate in the heart of Rugby League territory, a group of nine young boys are preparing for competition.

But they are not taking on Bradford Northern or Hull Kingston Rovers. This is a documentary about Britain's leading all-boys cheerleading team - the DAZL Diamonds and their coach Ian Rodley.

Director James Newton follows the team and their families as the boys fluff up their pom poms and prepare for the National Championships in Coventry where they hope to be the first boys team to lift the trophy - a win which could change their lives forever.

The Pajanimals: Oops

Monday, 29 October 2012

The Pajanimals is a 52 x 11 minute short-form musical series featuring four soft cuddly animals who snuggle together every night to sing sweet night time songs to their preschool viewers.

There's Sweetpea Sue, a shy, smart pony who never forgets to wash up before bedtime; Squacky, an excitable duck who sometimes has a hard time settling down at night; Cowbella, a creative, well-mannered cow with an Italian accent; and Apollo, an upbeat, optimistic pup who loves space adventures but has a slight case of separation anxiety.

The Pajanimals is both entertaining and educational as it helps comfort preschool viewers with bedtime themes covering transitional issues such as sleeping through the night and being comfortable with the lights out.

Episode 27: Oops! - Monday, October 29 at 6.00pm on ABC4Kids

Squacky is excited because he doesn't have to wear a pull up to bed for the first time! But that night, Squacky is sad because he's had an accident and wet his bed. When they travel to the Night Sky, the Moon reminds Squacky not to drink too much water before bed and explains to him that it's okay to have accidents and these feelings will pass.

Episode 28: Sing a Pajanimal Song - Tuesday, October 30 at 6.00pm on ABC4Kids

The Pajanimals have formed a band and when they play their new song, Apollo keeps making mistakes. This frustrates him and leads to him quitting the band. The Pajanimals don't want Apollo to quit the band, so they all travel to Storybook Land where Edwin shares with Apollo that he too has felt frustrations, but if you practice, you will get better and the feeling of frustration will pass!

Mega Builders: Big Rig

Monday, 29 October 2012 Final

The Aker H6e is the biggest oil rig on the planet, built for the extreme conditions of the Barents Sea, located north of Norway.

Marine operations chief Knut Engebretsen and his team of Norwegian engineers have tight deadlines for some major moves to put this monster together. The oil rig is so big that half of it is being constructed in Norway and the other half is being built in Dubai where construction costs are cheaper. When the Dubai-built structure is finished, it will make the 53 day journey via the Suez Canal to Norway for final assembly.

The construction crew have to 'skid' eight-thousand-tonne hull pieces on rails across a giant yard. The steel deck that goes on top of the hull weighs more than 11,000 tonnes. Raising it up in the air ten storeys will be one of the most extreme heavy lifts ever attempted by the construction crew. On top of these mega-challenges, this hardy crew of Norwegian engineers has to battle extreme bad weather along the way.

The Strange Calls

Tuesday, 30 October 2012

Preparations for Sergeant Lloyd's (Patrick Brammall) production of The Phantom of the Opera are in full swing when the theatre is vandalised and the set dresser quits. It falls on Banks (Toby Truslove) and Gregor (Barry Crocker) to get the theatre into shape before opening night. Cue weird, spooky happenings!

Gregor immediately points the finger at the theatre's ghost. Banks refuses to believe Gregor's tale and it looks like he's right, when they meet an elderly man, Burt Ferguson (Desmond Kelly), in the theatre. Burt believes he is the star of the show, and that the year is 1942.

Gregor thinks they've found their ghost - a dead actor from the past! Banks thinks he's just a senile old man. Gregor blackmails Banks to help Burt 'cross over' by performing a scene from the play. At the end of this performance, Burt disappears.

Has he crossed over or made his escape?

Don't Blame The Dog: Anti-Rhino-Poaching Dogs: South Africa

Wednesday, 31 October 2012

Twenty-two-year-old Holly loves her dog Suki, she paints Suki's nails and puts diamantes on them and feeds her non-stop treats. Mikki lives in a rough part of London, so for protection he is training his six-month-old pup Chicka to bite. While on the street, he never has his pup on the lead, posing a danger not only to Chicka but others on the street.

In the hope of becoming better pet owners, Holly and Mikki travel to South Africa to spend a week with dogs that are trained to track down rhino poachers.

They meet tough-talking Henry, one of the most successful security and military dog trainers in the country. He's at war with rhino poachers. Rhinos are endangered and one is killed by illegal hunters every day. Finding the poachers is vital, but will the Brits cope with tough new responsibilities, and will the experience help them re-evaluate their own lives.

Henry expects Holly and Mikki to bond and control the dogs - they are given three dogs to look after, to feed and clean up after, something Holly struggles with. They undertake bite training, where Mikki’s cockiness is apparent. After two days at the dog pound, Henry takes the Brits into the African bush to further test their abilities with tracking exercises and an anti-poaching test.

Kitchen Cabinet: Barnaby Joyce


After cooking up a storm with some of Australia's most surprising politicians in the first series of Kitchen Cabinet, Annabel Crabb is coming back to ABC2 with a second helping.

Each week our veteran political journalist invites herself over to the home of a sitting member offering dessert in exchange for dinner.

Annabel Crabb is ABC Online's chief political writer, and columnist for 'The Drum'. She is a regular guest on ABC News 24's 6pm current affairs show The Drum, and on ABC TV's Sunday morning politics program Insiders. She writes a weekly column for the Sun Herald, Sunday Times (Canberra) and Sunday Age, and is a panellist and keen competitor on ABC1's Randling. (Favourite word: Preposterous.)

Via small plane, car and camel Annabel takes the long trek to remote Queensland to be wined and dined by one of the most colourful characters in the Australian Parliament. Before entering Parliament, Nationals Leader in the Senate Barnaby Joyce was a bouncer, football player and country town accountant. On the veranda of his St George home Barnaby talks about lessons learnt from Joh Bjelke-Petersen, compares Parliament to his days boarding at an elite private school, and extols the virtues of keeping the message simple. As the sun sets on his meat and mash-based dish, Annabel enjoys some classic Barnaby-isms but also discovers there's far more to Senator Joyce than colourful quips.

Dangerous Drivers' School: Robert, Helen And Dave

Thursday, 1 November 2012

This six-part series follows some of Britain's worst fully licensed drivers as they seek professional help to sort out their problem driving.

In Leeds, we meet Dave - an aggressive tailgater who is terrorising his family, his girlfriend and the rest of the city. Dave thinks he's a good driver and doesn't understand why everyone criticises him. It's time for instructor Steve to mediate and slow Dave down.

In Halifax, schools examiner Helen is sick of having her driving criticised by her twin sister and supposed best friend. She knows parking is her weak spot but is she really so bad? Despite her weakness, Helen still thinks she's a competent and safe driver and wants a second opinion from an expert to end the arguments.

Over in Norfolk, retiree Robert drives a classic Morris Minor in much the same way as when he passed his driving test in 1966. His sister Susan can't stand his slow pace and wishes he'd embrace the 21st century. It's clear that Robert needs to learn that driving slowly can still be a danger.

Can a two-hour session with a professional instructor help turn these dangerous drivers into model motorists?


PRODUCTION DETAILS:A Matchlight Production for Channel 5. Executive Producers: Iain Scollay and Ross Wilson.

My Transsexual Summer

Friday, 2 November 2012 FinalAs the most recently transitioned woman in the group, Sarah must find a place to live. So far, being with the other participants has given her hope: she's got six friends to call on for support, she looks and feels better, and has taken the enormous step of coming out to her mother.

Now she wants to make a new life in liberal, free-thinking Brighton. But can she find housemates who want her to move in?

Everyone talks and thinks about relationships. Fifty-two-year-old Karen is still recovering from surgery that inverted her penis to create the vagina she's always wanted. Previously she preferred women, but now she's starting to date a man and that gets the group thinking about the difficulties of dating.

At 26, Donna is a beautiful transwoman and decides she's ready to find her perfect man.

On the last day of their time together, the group members invite their parents and friends to the house to celebrate a remarkable summer. In the emotional high point of the series, the participants make speeches about what they've learned from one another.

Movie: The Spy Who Came In From The Cold

Step back into the real, dour and chilling world of spies and counterspies. Alec Leamas (Richard Burton) is a burnt-out British agent who refuses to 'come in from the cold' to take a desk job - but instead launches into the most dangerous assignment of his career, stalking East German agent, Fiedler (Oskar Werner).
