6PM CAPTIONS BY JESSICA BOELL AND AMY PARK. CAPTIONS WERE MADE POSSIBLE WITH FUNDING FROM NZ ON AIR. COPYRIGHT TVNZ ACCESS SERVICES 2013 DUE TO THE LIVE NATURE OF SEVEN SHARP, WE APOLOGISE FOR THE LACK OF CAPTIONS FOR SOME ITEMS. WELCOME TO SEVEN SHARP ON A DAY WHEN WE'RE ALL LUCKY TO BE SITTING HERE, REALLY, THANKS TO THE PARLOUS STATE OF AUCKLAND'S TRAFFIC. YEP, DESPITE THE FACT THAT THIS IS NEITHER NEW YORK, NOR LONDON, NOR SYDNEY, THE AA IS CALLING LAST NIGHT'S MOTORWAY GRIDLOCK THE WORST IT'S EVER SEEN. DON'T YOU WISH YOU KNEW WHEN AND WHY THIS WAS GONNA HAPPEN? LOOK AT THE ANATOMY OF A TRAFFIC JAM TONIGHT. WHAT PEOPLE SEE AS GHOST TRAFFIC JAMS. THEY LOOK AROUND AND THINK, 'WHERE'S THAT COME FROM?' ALSO ` IT'S SET TO BE A GREAT WEEKEND FOR THE BEACH, BUT PEOPLE OBVIOUSLY WANT TO KNOW ALL ABOUT SHARKS. IT'S LIKE A HIGHWAY, AND THEY GO INTO THE NEXT FEEDING OPPORTUNITY. A SHARK EXPERT SAYS WE NEED TO KNOW MORE ABOUT THE FEEDING HABITS OF THE PREDATORS IN OUR WATERS. AND ` HE'S A BRIT-AWARD WINNER, GRAMMY NOMINEE AND QUINTUPLE-PLATINUM ALBUM SELLER; NOW ED SHEERAN IS HERE ON TOUR. WE FOUND HIM FLAT ON HIS BACK WITH A NEEDLE IN HIS ARM. THAT SOUND IS NEVER GOOD. AND MORRIS DANCING IS WEIRD ENOUGH, SO WHY ARE TONGANS TAKING IT UP? DO THEY EVEN HAVE HANKIES IN TONGA? IT'S RIGHT HERE. ALL LAUGH IT'S SEVEN SHARP. ON THE POSITIVE SIDE, AUCKLAND'S ROADS ALLOW YOU TO TAKE THE TIME TO STUDY THINGS REALLY CLOSELY, LIKE CRASH BARRIERS AND RUBBISH ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. THAT'S BECAUSE TRAFFIC SPENDS A LOT OF ITS TIME IN GRIDLOCK. AND THAT'S BECAUSE OF SOMETHING THAT SORT OF DOESN'T EXIST. IT'S CALLED A GHOST TRAFFIC JAM. MICHAEL HOLLAND TAKES A LOOK DEEP INSIDE THE TRAFFIC JAM. STOMPING ROCK MUSIC SO YOU'VE SNUCK OUT OF WORK. THE TRAFFIC, TO BE FRANK, IS BLOODY GOOD. MIGHT EVEN GET HOME EARLY. SMASH! AN OVERHEIGHT TRUCK, A NOTORIOUSLY LOW OVERBRIDGE AND A COLOSSAL HEADACHE FOR MOTORWAY OFFICIALS. YEAH, YOU ARE GOING TO HAVE TO WAIT A LITTLE WHILE YET. AND HUNDREDS OF MOTORISTS NOW REASSESSING THEIR ETA. HOW MANY REALLY BAD DAYS A YEAR? > WE PROBABLY HAVE ABOUT FOUR OR FIVE A YEAR. YESTERDAY, WE SAW THE PERFECT STORM. TAILBACKS THAT GRIDLOCKED THE WHOLE CITY. A SERIOUS ACCIDENT INVOLVING A TRUCK AND VAN ON THE NEWMARKET VIADUCT, THE COUNTRY'S BUSIEST STRETCH OF ROAD, ON THE CUSP OF THE AFTERNOON PEAK. WOMAN OVER RADIO: IT'S NOW THE SOUTHERN MOTORWAY SOUTH-BOUND FROM THE HARBOUR BRIDGE THROUGH TO NEWMARKET. COMING DOWN THE OTHER SIDE NOW. THE GRIDLOCK WAS MONITORED AT THE NZ TRANSPORT AGENCY'S TRAFFIC-CONTROL CENTRE, WHERE OPERATORS TWEAK TRAFFIC FLOWS ACCORDING TO IMAGES FROM DOZENS OF VIDEO CAMERAS. SO, LETS TRY TO EXPLAIN THE AUTONOMY OF A TRAFFIC JAM. IT STARTS WITH AN INCIDENT, MINOR OR MAJOR, BUT HOW DRIVERS REACT ` WHETHER THEY'RE DIRECTLY AFFECTED OR NOT ` CAN LEAD TO SOMETHING FAR BIGGER. CASE IN POINT ` THE GOOD OLD RUBBERNECKER. BECAUSE THEY ARE SLOWING DOWN, THEY WILL BASICALLY CAUSE A SHOCKWAVE EFFECT THROUGH THE TRAFFIC ON THAT SIDE OF THE MOTORWAY. SO THAT SHOCKWAVE WILL BE CAUSING PEOPLE TO SLOW DOWN BEHIND THEM AND CAUSING A QUEUE TO FORM. BECAUSE THE MOTORWAY NETWORK IN AUCKLAND IS SO CONGESTED, THERE IS SO MUCH TRAFFIC USING IT, ANY SLIGHT CHANGE IN THAT BEHAVIOUR CAN HAVE A MAJOR IMPACT IN TERMS OF A KNOCK-ON EFFECT. THIS JAPANESE UNIVERSITY EXPERIMENT SHOWING HOW DRIVER BEHAVIOUR ALONE CAN CAUSE TRAFFIC JAMS. THE DRIVERS WERE TOLD TO CRUISE ROUND THE TRACK AT A CONSTANT 30KM/HR. MAN: SOON THE DISTANCE BETWEEN CARS STARTED TO VARY AND VEHICLES CLUMPED TOGETHER AT ONE POINT ON THE TRACK. THE JAM SPREADS BACKWARDS AROUND THE TRACK LIKE A SHOCKWAVE AT A RATE OF 20KM/HR. A REAL-LIFE JAMS MOVE BACKWARDS AT ABOUT THE SAME SPEED. PEOPLE ARE CHANGING BEHAVIOUR FURTHER BACK DOWN THE QUEUE, CHANGING LANES, WHICH IS ANOTHER THING THAT CAN CASE CONGESTION IN ITSELF. OFTEN IT'S A NATURAL REACTION, SO IF THERE IS A PIECE OF DEBRIS ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD OR THERE'S A POLICE CAR DOING SOME ENFORCEMENT, PEOPLE NATURALLY RESPOND TO WHAT'S HAPPENING AROUND THEM, SO THEY CAN SLOW DOWN OR LEAVE A BIT MORE DISTANCE BETWEEN THE CAR IN FRONT. SO WE CAN HAVE WHAT PEOPLE SEE AS A GHOST TRAFFIC JAM, THEY LOOK AROUND AND SAY, 'WHERE'S THAT COME FROM?' IT CAN BE SOMETHING VERY MINOR THAT CAUSES CONGESTION. THAT'S WHY IT'S VERY IMPORTANT FOR PEOPLE TO THINK ABOUT THEIR BEHAVIOUR, ABOUT HOW MANY LANE CHANGES THEY MAKE. HERE, ANOTHER EXAMPLE ` WE'VE GOT A BREAKDOWN. IT'S TYPICAL: I WAS JUST SAYING HOW FANTASTIC THE NORTHERN MOTORWAY IS RUNNING, SO WE HAVE A BREAKDOWN IN THE FAST LANE. WE ARE NOW IN PEAK? YEAH. AND THAT'S EXACTLY WHAT YOU DON'T WANT? YEAH. A KILOMETRE IN A MATTER OF MINUTES ` YEAH. THAT'S WHY IT'S IMPORTANT TO GET OUT THERE AS FAST AS WE CAN. EVEN WITH THE BREAKDOWN CLEARED IN FOUR OR FIVE MINUTES, THE ROT HAS SET IN. HERE 10 TO 15 MINUTES AGO THE INCIDENT WAS, AND IT'S STARTING TO CLEAR AROUND HERE, BUT THE FACT IS ITS PUSHED THE TAILBACK BACK SO FAR THAT THAT SECTION OF TRAFFIC THERE IS JUST CONGESTED TO ABOUT 100% OF THE AVAILABLE CAPACITY. THAT'S ALMOST 3KM BACK FROM THE SCENE OF THE BREAKDOWN. YET THE SCENE IS COMPLETELY CLEAR? ABSOLUTELY. THE THING IS THIS WON'T CLEAR UNTIL THE TRAFFIC FALLS AWAY, BECAUSE YOU ARE CONTRIBUTING SO MUCH AT ONCE. AND THEREIN LIES THE DILEMMA. OUT OF SOMETHING SO ORDINARY, SO MUNDANE, A SHOCKWAVE THAT EQUATES TO A LATE ARRIVAL HOME, EVEN FOR THOSE WHO DARED TO WHIP OUT OF THE OFFICE EARLY. And the question is, even if we all changed our behaviour, is our roading systems so rubbish it wouldn't make a difference? I never got the rubbernecking thing. If there is an accident, if you can help, stop, otherwise drive past. The U.K.'S spent �2 million on screens that police put up straight away after an incident. We asked online and got some nice ideas. I bought a tree recently, and they are quite expensive. All you hear on your car radio is keep moving, keep moving. Who would you text, and how would you know who to text? Text and driving is where the start of these things is. IT'S BEEN A GOOD WEEK FOR GOOD PAYOUTS AND THE PM'S PASSPORT HAS A FEW MORE STAMPS. HERE'S JESSE WITH A WRAP OF THE WEEK. YEAH, WHAT A WEEK! AND TODAY IS INTERNATIONAL WOMEN'S DAY, SO LET'S START WITH AN INSPIRING INTERNATIONAL WOMAN ` LESLEY LONGSTONE, AKA JEFF GOLDBLUM IN THE FLY, WHO TOOK THE NOVOPAY FALL FOR HEKIA, THEN BUZZED OFF TO ENGLAND WITH $425,000 KIWI TAXPAYER DOLLARS. YOU GO, GIRL (!) BUT HERS WASN'T THE ONLY GOLDEN HANDSHAKE ` BAD GUY OF THE WEEK IS DON ELDER, AKA SLOTH FROM THE GOONIES, WHO HELPED RUIN SOLID ENERGY AND HAS KEPT HIS SALARY OF $1.3M TO SIT ON THE COUCH AT HOME. SO MUCH FOR THE RECESSION. CATHOLIC CARDINALS HAVE GATHERED IN ROME TO VOTE FOR THE POPE, BUT REALLY, IT'S UP TO GOD TO CHOOSE SOMEONE, SO WHO'S IT GONNA BE, GOD? WE JUST NEED A SIGN. THAT GUY? WELL, IF YOU SAY SO. AND JOHN KEY'S BEEN IN LATIN AMERICA, HANGING OUT WITH THE BEAUTIFUL PEOPLE. SO WHAT DO YOU DO TO STAND OUT NEXT TO PEOPLE WHO ARE BETTER-LOOKING THAN YOU ARE? WEAR A FUNNY HAT. AT LEAST YOU'LL BE SAFE FROM CRICKET BALLS. ARRIBA. AFTER THE BREAK ` YES, WE KNOW IT'S THEIR DOMAIN, BUT IS THERE A WAY OF STAYING SAFE, OR SAFER, IN OUR SHARK-INFESTED WATERS? THAT'S THE QUESTION YOU'VE GOT TO ASK, AND WHEN YOU DO THAT, WE CAN FIND OUT WHETHER THE PREY OR POTENTIAL PREY FOR WHITE SHARKS MAY BE HOLDING THEM IN THE AREA. AND THE HOTTEST REDHEAD IN MUSIC TODAY LIES DOWN FOR OUR VERY OWN BRODIE KANE. NINE DAYS AFTER THE FATAL SHARK ATTACK ON AUCKLAND MAN ADAM STRANGE, THE NUMBERS ARE STILL DOWN AT MURIWAI BEACH. EXCELLENT WEATHER IS FORECAST UP AND DOWN THE COUNTRY, BUT UNDERSTANDABLY, LOTS OF PEOPLE ARE STAYING OUT OF THE WATER. SO CRAIG STANAWAY SPOKE WITH AN EXPERT IN AN EFFORT TO SEPARATE THE FEAR FACTOR FROM THE FACTS. MOMENTOUS MUSIC GREAT WHITE SHARKS RECENTLY FILMED OFF STEWART ISLAND. IN NZ WATERS, THEY'RE EVERYWHERE. THERE'S A THIN LINE BETWEEN EDUCATING THE PUBLIC AND SCAREMONGERING, AND THERE'S AN OBVIOUS REASON WHY. YOU'RE GONNA NEED A BIGGER BOAT. HOLLYWOOD HAS DONE SHARKS A HUGE DISSERVICE. THAT WAS PROBABLY THE WORST PIECE OF PROPAGANDA YOU COULD POSSIBLY EVER HOPE FOR. AN ENTIRE GENERATION, CERTAINLY MY GENERATION, GREW UP WITH THAT, AND A LOT OF PEOPLE WERE AFRAID OF THAT AS A RESULT. MIKE BHANA'S FILMED SHARKS FOR 20 YEARS. GREAT WHITES HAVE BEEN AROUND A LONG TIME, VERY LONG TIME ` MILLIONS AND MILLIONS OF YEARS. HE'S PRODUCED SHARK DOCUMENTARIES FOR NATIONAL GEOGRAPHIC, ANIMAL PLANET AND DISCOVERY CHANNEL. HOW MANY SPECIES OF SHARKS ARE THERE IN NZ WATERS AT THE MOMENT? IN NZ THERE ARE OVER 60 SPECIES OF SHARK. THERE'S VERY FEW OF THOSE THAT ARE ANY DANGER TO US AT ALL. RESEARCHERS LIKE MIKE HAVE ALWAYS KNOWN ABOUT GREAT WHITES AROUND THE MANUKAU-KAIPARA AREA. STUDYING THEIR BEHAVIOUR HAS NOW BECOME EVEN MORE IMPORTANT IN THE WAKE OF ADAM STRANGE'S TRAGIC DEATH. THIS IS MAORI BAY. IT'S BASICALLY IN BETWEEN HERE ` JUST OFF THE POINT OF THE ROCKS THAT YOU CAN SEE THERE WHERE ADAM WAS ATTACKED, AND IT'S NOT AN AREA THAT ` WHERE ADAM WAS ATTACKED, AND IT'S NOT AN AREA THAT ` WHILE THERE ARE DEFINITELY SHARKS ALL AROUND NZ COAST ` IT'S NOT AN AREA THAT, IN ALL THE YEARS THAT I'VE BEEN SURFING HERE, WHICH IS OVER 30 YEARS, THAT I'VE EVER ENCOUNTERED A SHARK MYSELF. GREAT WHITES TRAVEL IN STRAIGHT LINES GOING FROM FOOD SOURCE TO FOOD SOURCE. IMAGINE A HIGHWAY BETWEEN TWO CAFES. THEY WON'T EXPEND ENERGY GOING OFF THE HIGHWAY PURSUING FOOD, BUT THEY'LL ATTACK IF A SWIMMER STRAYS INTO THE HIGHWAY AT THE EXACT TIME THEY'RE GOING PAST. IT'S INCREDIBLY RARE THAT A SWIMMER SHOULD INTERSECT A SHARK MOVING ALONG THIS COAST. NZ SEAL NUMBERS ARE SURGING BECAUSE THEY'RE NOW PROTECTED, AND MIKE SAYS WE NEED MORE RESEARCH INTO WHAT'S HAPPENING ALONG AUCKLAND'S WEST COAST. WELL, NOBODY'S DONE THE WORK. NOBODY'S BEEN OUT HERE. THERE'S ONLY ABOUT 15 SEALS HERE. THAT CERTAINLY WOULDN'T REPRESENT A FEEDING OPPORTUNITY FOR SHARKS. IT WOULD HAVE TO BE A MUCH HIGHER SATURATION FOR ANIMALS, WHETHER THIS IS A DAY WHERE THERE'S NOT TOO MANY SEALS OR WHETHER THAT POPULATION'S CHANGING OVER SUMMER ` THAT'S THE QUESTION YOU'VE GOT TO ASK, AND WE NEED TO DO THAT WORK AND FIND OUT WHETHER THE PREY OR POTENTIAL PREY FOR WHITE SHARKS ` MAYBE HOLDING THEM IN THE AREA. A LOT OF THOUGHT'S BEEN GIVEN TO A NEW TOOL THAT'S BEING TRAILED IN THE COROMANDAL ` A CAMERA SYSTEM SUSPENDED BELOW A HELIUM BALLOON, GIVING LIFEGUARDS EXTRA EYES TO KEEP BEACHES SAFE. MAN: THE CAMERA CAN BE CONTROLLED WITH A SIMPLE TOUCH OF THE SCREEN OR SCROLL OF THE MOUSE, INCLUDING FULL PAN, TILT AND ZOOM. IT WORKS BEST, THOUGH, ON EAST COAST GOLDEN SAND BEACHES. AS YET IT'S NOT AS AFFECTIVE ON THE WEST COAST'S BLACK SAND BEACHES. AT THE END OF THE DAY, MOST OF THE SHARKS ON OUR COASTS ARE FISH-EATERS AND SHARKS TEND TO BE COMPLETELY ORIENTATED ON THE FOOD THEY'RE FEEDING ON AT ANY TIME. SO IF THEY'RE FEEDING ON SNAPPER, THEY'RE GOING TO BE FOCUSED ON FEEDING ON SNAPPER. IF THEY'RE FEEDING ON KAHAWAI, THEY'RE GONNA BE FOCUSED ON FEEDING ON KAHAWAI. IT'S VERY RARE THAT THEY'LL TAKE ANYTHING OUT OF THAT FOOD GROUP WHILE THEY'RE FEEDING. SO IF A FEAR OF SHARKS HAS GOT YOU AFRAID TO GO BACK INTO THE WATER THIS WEEKEND, CONSIDER THIS ` THERE'VE BEEN 93 DROWNINGS THIS YEAR AND 47 ROAD FATALITIES. THE CHANCES OF BEEN KILLED BY A SHARK ` ONE IN A BILLION. Helicopters and planes have been used widely to spot sharks, But Western Australia says people in helicopters struggled to spot sharks. Maybe that drone system is the way to go. BEFORE WE GO TO A BREAK ` YOUR FYI TONIGHT. BBC MOTORING SHOW TOP GEAR IS COMING TO NZ NEXT WEEK. THEY'LL BE FILMING A CHASE SCENE ON 90 MILE BEACH AT SPEEDS OF 150KM/HR. THEY'VE HAD APPROVAL FROM NGATI KURI, BUT ARE UNDER FIRE FOR NOT TALKING TO THE FOUR OTHER IWI WHO LOOK OVER THE BEACH. YES, TOP GEAR, YOU'VE JUMPED A CARAVAN IN A VOLVO, SMASHED A CAR WITH A TRAIN AND HELD A DEMOLITION DERBY WITH CAMPERVANS, BUT YOU'RE ABOUT TO FACE YOUR TOUGHEST CHALLENGE YET ` IWI CONSULTATION. GOOD LUCK. AFTER THE BREAK ` MARTIN DEVLIN ON SOME VERY FRANKS RUGBY AND OUR CRICKETERS' INCREDIBLE SHOWING. WE MEET THE LEADER OF THE A-TEAM AND WATCH HIM GET INKED ` WE GET UNDER ED SHEERAN'S SKIN. AND DANCING WITH HANKIES ` MORRIS DANCING, TO BE PACIFIC. ALL: # HEY! # It'll be your chance to personally own a part of one of NZ's largest electricity companies.

IT'S NOT EVERY DAY YOU GET WELCOMED INTO A HOTEL ROOM WITH A MUSICIAN. UNLESS,... WELL,... NEVER MIND. BUT BRITISH SINGING SENSATION ED SHEERAN DID JUST THAT. HE LET BRODIE KANE HAVE A CHAT WITH HIM IN WELLINGTON AHEAD OF HIS SOLD-OUT CONCERT. HE EVEN GOT INKED WHILE SHE WAS THERE. # YOU CAN WRAP YOUR FINGERS ROUND MY THUMB. # ED SHEERAN'S THE TYPE OF GUY YOU'D EXPECT TO BE NICE, AND IS. FROM HUMBLE ROOTS AND A CAREER HE FOUGHT HARD FOR, THE 22-YEAR-OLD IS SO LAID-BACK, HE'S HORIZONTAL. THE SURPRISING THING IS, HE'S COVERED IN TATTS, EVEN THOUGH HIS PARENTS WEREN'T THAT HAPPY ABOUT IT. I KIND OF SAID TO MY DAD THAT WHEN YOU'RE IN THE MUSIC INDUSTRY, LIKE, IT'S A COMMON THING THAT YOU DO, LIKE, ONE OF THREE THINGS, AND IT'S EITHER TATTOOS, COCAINE OR STRIPPERS. AND I SAID, 'THIS IS THE LESSER OF THREE EVILS.' WELL, HOW DID HE RESPOND TO THAT? HE SAID, 'FAIR ENOUGH.' SO EACH ONE IS FROM A DIFFERENT COUNTRY OR A DIFFERENT STATE? DIFFERENT COUNTRY, DIFFERENT STATE, DIFFERENT CITY, YEAH. OR WHEN, KIND OF, BIG THINGS HAPPEN. SO, LIKE, THE LEGO HEAD WAS WHEN 'LEGO HOUSE' CAME OUT, AND RED WAS WHEN TAYLOR'S ALBUM CAME OUT AND MY SONG WAS ON THAT. # YOU FOUND ME, E, E, E, E. # YEP, HE'S TALKING ABOUT TAYLOR SWIFT, AND WITH RUMOURS CIRCLING THE GLOBE OF A HOT HOOK-UP AND NO RULES TO OUR INTERVIEW, I DECIDED TO HIT IT ON THE HEAD. I DID GO TO HER HOTEL, I DID STAY THERE TILL 4, AND I DID LEAVE IN THE SAME CLOTHES, BUT I WAS PLAYING HER MY NEW RECORD. PLAYING HER YOUR NEW RECORD? NAH, YEAH. NO, LITERALLY I WENT IN THERE WE SAT DOWN, PASSED THE GUITAR BACK AND FORTH AND PLAYED SONGS TO EACH OTHER. YOU DIDN'T EVEN GO IN FOR A SNEAKY PASH? I DON'T... LIKE, YEAH. I... I'M A PROFESSIONAL. (CHUCKLES) NO, THAT'S ALL RIGHT. I WAS JUST THINKING, SHE'S PRETTY HOT. YEAH, SHE IS, SHE IS BUT` GOOD ON YOU. BUT THE THING THAT IMPRESSED ME WITH THE MEDIA IS, BECAUSE THEY WROTE ABOUT IT, LIKE, MY MATES BELIEVED IT. SO THERE YOU GO. ON TO SOME MORE PRESSING QUESTIONS. ARE YOU A GOOD DANCER? NO. TERRIBLE. TERRIBLE. HAVE YOU GOT ANY SIGNATURE MOVES, THOUGH? YEAH, I GOT FEED THE BIRDS AND SHOOT THEM DOWN. (IMITATES DANCE BEAT) THAT'S GOOD. IT'S PRETTY GOOD. IT WORKS OUT FOR EVERYONE. DOES IT? YEAH. ALL RIGHT, I'LL GIVE IT A WHIRL. # AND I'LL WHISPER QUIETLY... HE'S ALSO DUBBED BY SOME AS THE HOTTEST GINGA ON THE PLANET. I WANTED TO FIND OUT ABOUT THE UPS AND DOWNS OF HAVING RED HAIR. # I'LL PUT MY FUTURE IN YOU. # DID YOU GET BULLIED AT SCHOOL? I THINK IT ENDS UP BEING A POSITIVE. LIKE, I WAS QUITE A WEIRD KID WHEN I WAS LITTLE. I WORE BIG GLASSES. I HAD HEARING PROBLEMS AND A STUTTER. YEAH, YOU KNOW, AND I HAD GINGER HAIR. BUT, LIKE, I'M NOW A VERY SUCCESSFUL MUSICIAN, AND I HAVE NOTHING TO COMPLAIN ABOUT. YOU KNOW, SCHOOL ` YOU KIND OF GO THROUGH THAT AND YOU COME OUT THE OTHER END A LOT BETTER FOR IT. YOU KIND OF BLOSSOM OUT OF IT. BEING GINGER CAN SEEM LIKE A BAD THING WHEN YOU'RE YOUNG, BUT AS A MUSICIAN, LIKE, IT HAS BEEN MY SAVING GRACE. LIKE, IF YOU SEE A GINGER KID ON TV, AND THERE'S ONLY ONE MESSY-HAIRED GINGER KID WHO PLAYS GUITAR, IT'S VERY EASY TO FIND THEM ON YOUTUBE. IT'S CLEAR TO ME THIS GUY HAS A GOOD HEAD ON HIS SHOULDERS. < WHERE DO YOU SEE YOURSELF IN 10 YEARS? < YOU'LL ONLY BE 32 ` THAT'S STILL PRETTY YOUNG. PROBABLY STILL A VIRGIN, TO BE HONEST. I DIDN'T EVEN ASK YOU IF YOU WERE, AND YOU'VE SAID THAT WITHOUT ME EVEN SAYING ANYTHING. (CHUCKLES) I WAS JOKING. ARE YOU SURE? (CHUCKLES) (LAUGHS) 10 YEARS' TIME... HOPEFULLY DOING THE SAME THING, AND IF I'M NOT, HOPEFULLY NOT BROKE. SO THE TATTOO'S FINISHED. BUT IS ED HAPPY WITH IT? OH, THAT'S GREAT. IT'S VERY COOL. WELL, I'VE GOT A WEE PRESENT FOR YOU. IT'S PROBABLY NOT AS COOL AS A TATTOO, BUT YOU KNOW HOW I WAS SAYING TO YOU THAT ONE OF THE REASONS I QUITE LIKE YOU IS COS YOU DO WEAR HOODIES? SO WE GOT YOU... BECAUSE YOU LOVE HOODIES SO MUCH, WE THOUGHT THAT YOU SHOULD GO AWAY WITH A... I DON'T KNOW IF IT'S SLIGHTLY TOO BIG, BUT THIS IS A WEE... OH, WOW. PROPER KIWI. THAT'S A KIWI. THAT'S AMAZING. AND THAT'S FOR YOU, SO THAT YOU CAN KEEP WARM IN THE UK. # ANGELS FLY. # AND WITH THAT, THIS HUMBLE SUPERSTAR IS OFF. SHOULD WE HAVE A WEE HUG? LET'S HAVE A WEE HUG. WE HUG IN NZ. THANK YOU. GENTLE ACOUSTIC TUNE FADES WHEN IT COMES TO TATTOOS, LET'S GO ALONG THE DESK. I HAVE A TATTOO, JESSE DOESN'T HAVE A TATTOO. GREG... JOINING US NOW TO TALK A BIT OF RUGBY, BUT MOSTLY CRICKET, IS MARTIN DEVLIN. The Cronulla sharks have fired their coaching staff. Some well-known players have been named, including some Kiwis. This is an issue that's been picking up speed for some time. There was some cynicism about naming some names. When you don't name names, everyone is under suspicion. The best thing is to not talk about it and evoke karmic experts. HAMISH RUTHERFORD - 170 ON DEBUT. JUST HOW GOOD WAS THAT INNINGS? Opening, debut, under pressure ` brilliant. These cricketers are tough blokes. I was thrilled him. I really was. Is this a turning point for our cricket? Could this finally be a team that can do it? I like to look at tomorrow. IT'S HURRICANES VERSUS CRUSADERS TONIGHT, ARE YOU EXCITED? For International women's Day, I'd like to pay tribute to all five of the super 15 side. NOW HERE'S A STORY THAT FLIPS RACIAL STEREOTYPES. AN AUCKLAND PLAY HAS CAUSED A STIR BY PUTTING A PACIFIC SPIN ON A VERY ENGLISH DANCE. TIME TO SEND DEAN BUTLER FOR A DANCE-OFF. METALLICA'S 'ENTER SANDMAN' WHEN YOU THINK ABOUT MEN FROM TONGA, YOU THINK JONAH LOMU. YOU SURE AS HELL DON'T THINK... MORRIS DANCING. JUST WATCHING ALL THE CULTURAL PERFORMANCES, SITTING THERE THINKING TO MYSELF, 'OH MY GOSH, WHAT WOULD HAPPEN 'IF YOU HAD TONGAN MEN DOING MORRIS DANCING?' THE PLAY IS ABOUT SOME TONGAN STUDENTS WHO NEED SIX CREDITS TO PASS THEIR NCEA, AND THAT'S WHERE THE MORRIS DANCING COMES IN ` AND ALSO THE HANKIES. DO HEY EVEN HAVE HANKIES IN TONGA? IT'S RIGHT HERE. ALL LAUGH BUT IT'S NOT ALL HAND BELLS AND GARTERS. A MINOR DISPUTE WITH THE CITY OF AUCKLAND MORRIS DANCING CLUB HAS EMERGED. I THINK THEY THOUGHT THAT WE WERE TAKING, UM` THAT WE WERE MOCKING THEM, BUT NO WAY WERE WE MOCKING MORRIS DANCING. I ASKED THE CITY OF AUCKLAND MORRIS DANCING ASSOCIATION TO COME ALONG TODAY, TRY AND SORT THIS OUT, BUT THEY COULDN'T MAKE IT. SO IT LOOKS LIKE IT'S UP TO ME TO SETTLE THIS, UH, DISPUTE. HIP HOP MUSIC # LET'S GET IT ON. # GET IT ON THE FLOOR. GET IT, GET IT ON THE FLOOR. # WHAT! # GET IT ON THE FLOOR. GET IT, GET IT ON THE FLOOR. TONGAN MORRIS MEN HAS ITS FINAL NIGHT AT THE MAIDMENT THEATRE TOMORROW NIGHT THANKFULLY WITHOUT DEAN. CAPTIONS WERE MADE POSSIBLE WITH FUNDING FROM NZ ON AIR. COPYRIGHT TVNZ ACCESS SERVICES 2013
