FROM ALL THE ONE NEWS TEAM, THANKS FOR WATCHING. ONE NEWS CAPTIONS BY CONOR WHITTEN AND SAM BRADFORD. 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 the show. Welcome Te Radar. IT'S DUE ANY MINUTE ` EITHER BOY OR GIRL. What else is there to talk about? We will ask monarchists why we should care about this baby. SIMPLE CHALLENGE ` GUESS WHAT THIS GUY DOES FOR A LIVING AND WHAT HE'S TALKING ABOUT. WELL, I` I APPRECIATE A COMPARISON TO FRED ASTAIRE, BECAUSE FRED ASTAIRE WAS ONE OF THE GREAT ARTISTS EVER TO LIVE. He's not a dancer. MEET A KIWI IN NEW YORK MAKING A LIVING. The money is pretty good but the hours are a bit ruff. ALL LAUGH IT'S WEDNESDAY NIGHT. WELCOME TO SEVEN SHARP. we want to show the scene ` the world awaits the arrival of the Royal baby. Nothing has happened and they are waiting and waiting and waiting. We could be waiting till the 23rd. Do we care? We only keep the baby is healthy. Since December, there have been 27 magazines with Kate on the cover. What they are saying is that we are absolutely fascinated with not much. In a moment, we're going to talk to a royalist. She's not your average monarchist. IT'S A BIT DAUNTING IN THE BEGINNING, BUT IT'S NOT GONNA TAKE LONG FOR REALITY TO SET IN. # OH, I JUST CAN'T WAIT TO BE KING. # UNLIKE SIMBA, THE NEW ROYAL BABY IS GOING TO HAVE TO WAIT A REALLY LONG TIME TO REACH THE THRONE. IF HIS FATHER LIVES AS LONG AS HIS GREAT-GRANDMOTHER DID, IT COULD BE 70-PLUS YEARS. HE HOLDS THE WORLD RECORD, AND HE'S BEEN WAITING MORE THAN 60 YEARS. SOVEREIGNS REIGN IN THIS AREA OF THE WORLD ` THEY DON'T RULE. HOWEVER, IF YOU THOUGHT SHE WAS JUST A FIGUREHEAD,... YOU'D BE WRONG. THEY GET INVOLVED WHEN THERE'S AN EXCEPTIONAL CONSTITUTIONAL CRISIS, EVEN DOWN HERE. LOOK AT AUSTRALIA IN '75 ` THE QUEEN DISMISSED THE PRIME MINISTER. LONG MAY WE SAY, 'GOD SAVE THE QUEEN'. THE SAME THING ALMOST HAPPENED HERE IN '84. MAN: 24 HOURS AFTER THE POLLS CLOSED, DAVID LANGE HAD BEEN ELECTED PRIME MINISTER, BUT CONSTITUTIONALLY, SIR ROBERT MULDOON STILL HELD OFFICE. MULDOON'S OWN PARTY WAS PREPARING TO CALL THE QUEEN'S REPRESENTATIVE UNTIL HE GAVE IN OVER THE CURRENCY CRISIS. SO FROM AN EARLY AGE, THE BABY WILL BE TAUGHT THAT BEING MONARCH ISN'T ABOUT WIELDING POWER; IT'S ABOUT DENYING POWER WHEN SOMEONE GETS TOO BIG FOR THEIR BOOTS. HA! THERE ARE A LOT OF UPSIDES. THERE'S THE SPECIAL RELATIONSHIP WITH MAORI BECAUSE OF THE TREATY OF WAITANGI. THEY INHERIT MILFORD SOUND AND THE NZ AIR FORCE. SEAGULLS SQUAWK IN FACT, EVERYTHING OWNED BY THE STATE, ALTHOUGH WILL WE STILL BE A CROWN ENTITY IN 70 YEARS' TIME? BUT THE MONARCH CAN'T SELL ANYTHING OFF. THEY ALSO CAN'T IMPOSE NEW TAXES. THEY COULD, HOWEVER, HIT SKY CITY, ROLL UP MASSIVE AMOUNTS OF DEBT AND GET AWAY WITH IT BECAUSE THEY'RE IMMUNE FROM CRIMINAL PROSECUTION. THEY'RE ALSO TECHNICALLY THE BOSS OF THE COPS AND THE ARMED FORCES, SO WHO'S GOING TO ARREST THEM? THE CURRENT QUEEN COSTS US NOTHING UNLESS SHE CONDUCTS NZ BUSINESS OR ACTUALLY VISITS. 10 TIMES IN MORE THAN 60 YEARS IS A PRETTY GOOD DEAL. HER GOVERNOR GENERAL ` HE COSTS ANYWHERE BETWEEN $4M AND $8M A YEAR, DEPENDING ON YOUR SOURCE. OK, WE CAN'T AGREE ON THAT, BUT THERE'S ONE THING WE ALL CAN AGREE ON. IT'S WHAT THE FUTURE HOLDS FOR THE ROYAL BABY. # IT MEANS NO WORRIES FOR THE REST OF YOUR DAYS. YEAH, SAY IT, KID. YEP, THE LION KING MOVIE SUMMED IT UP BEST. # HAKUNA MATATA. # BOOKMAKERS HAVE TAKEN �1M IN BETS REGARDING SEX, DATE, NAME SO FAR. Star sign is also a big one. This is the most successful novelty. I wouldn't call a novelty. It's important stuff (!) WITH US IS LAUREN WALLACE FROM MONARCHY NZ. A BIT SURPRISED TO FIND OUT NZ'S GETTING RIGHT INTO THIS? We have a lot of places in New Zealand lighting up for the baby. YOU'RE YOUNGER THAN THE TYPICAL ROYALIST. WHAT'S THE APPEAL FOR SOMEONE YOUR AGE? It's an important part of New Zealand society I'm a big fan of royalty when there is a possibility I could become Royal. You are 23. So you don't remember when they were dull and boring back in the 70s. Now they are glam. Is that some of the appeal? I don't think that's the appeal. With Kate and Wills in the public eye so much, they have refreshed the monarchy.� They are something we can aspire to. Someone says: at least they look how a king and queen should appear ` young and vibrant. The fact that Harry and Wills are pretty hunky ` is that part of it? I think Harry should be king. I will have my house decorated with my stack of magazines. It will have to be special for the baby boy or girl. I am pleased to hear that if it's a girl, her brother won't overtake her for the Crown. if it's a little girl, she will be able to have equal rights. As the years ago at an all Blacks match, he was standing there. My friend wanted to go talk to him because he was going to be king one day. He talked to me about how smelly his brother Harry's feet are. This is Kate. They are practising the pressure points. This is her getting a spray tan. This is not her. They are all lookalikes. It's an uncanny likeness. STAY WITH US. AFTER THE BREAK ` WE LOOK AT RADAR'S NEW SHOW THE NEW YORK BASED KIWI DOING VERY NICELY, THANK YOU, FROM AMERICAN'S NEAR LUNATIC LOVE FOR DOGS. ALSO,... MUSICALLY IN THE 21ST CENTURY, YOU HAVE TO LOOK GOOD. ...HE'S A GYM-GOER AND HANGS AROUND A LOT IN CHURCHES, BUT WHAT HE AND HIS HAIR DO FOR A JOB IS QUITE SURPRISING. Welcome back to 7 sharp. We have Te radar with us tonight. Here's a show called best bits on TV one. HALFWAY THROUGH AN EPISODE OF THIRSTY WORK, HOST YVONNE LORKIN SUDDENLY REMEMBERS SHE HAS CONVINCED SOMEONE TO PAY HER TO TRAVEL AROUND THE COUNTRY DRINKING WINE. THAT'S HER JOB. SEE IF YOU CAN SPOT THE MOMENT WHEN SHE REMEMBERS. SO, HOW'S THE SAUVIGNON LOOKING? THE SAUVIGNON IS LOOKING REALLY GOOD, YVONNE. WE HAVE SOME` (CHORTLES) Looks good. That's pretty much what I do. Radar only has one shirt. First third of the program is little clips. We have a panel who come in and dissect things, like the Shortland Street extravaganza. The third part as a gentle grilling of a celebrity. I've known you for ages. I was thinking what would Radar's best bits be? WOULD YOU PLEASE WELCOME FROM OHINEWAI, ANDREW LUMSDEN! I LIVE ALONE... NOT THROUGH CHOICE. LIVING ALONE TENDS TO DEBUNK CERTAIN SOCIAL MYTHS. I'VE ONLY EVER BEEN IN LOVE TWICE. If not for the voice, I would not know that was you. That was a comedy competition. I'm sorry to say radar did not win the competition. You know the guy who eventually won. THE WINNER TAKES AWAY 10 GRAND. WOULD YOU PLEASE WELCOME... MR... DEAN BUTLER!!!!!! It was gutting. Look at all those familiar faces. Dean Butler unfortunately spent that money on magic beans. You have given me an incredible taste of what it's like for guests coming our show. The great thing about this is that I have to sit at home and watch a lot of television and I didn't know a lot of it existed. TAKING TO A NEW AUDIENCE IS TOUGH, ESPECIALLY WHEN THE 'SOMETHING' IS CENTURIES OLD, ENORMOUS AND THE NEW AUDIENCE CARE FOR CHURCHES AND CATHEDRALS AS A RULE. SARAH PULLED UP A PEW TO TALK TO A YOUNG AMERICAN TRYING TO CHANGE THAT. FUNKY MUSIC IF YOU RAN INTO THIS GUY IN THE GYM, WHAT WOULD YOU THINK HIS DAY JOB WAS? WOULD YOU PICK HE'S AN ORGANIST? WELL, FROM HIS MOHAWKED-HEAD TO HIS CRYSTAL-ENCRUSTED FEET, CAMERON CARPENTER (32) IS NOT YOUR AVERAGE ORGAN PLAYER. I DON'T WANT THERE TO BE ANYONE LIKE ME. IT'S BAD FOR BUSINESS. HE'S A SHOWMAN ` THE LIBERACE OF ORGANISTS ` DEFYING THE TRADITION OF AN ORGAN PLAYER HIDDEN FROM VIEW. THE IDEA THAT THE ORGANIST SHOULD BE, IF HEARD, NOT SEEN ` A FIGURE THAT IS A RETIRING ACCESSORY TO THE GREATER GLORY OF THE ORGAN. ALL OF WHICH I FIND TOTALLY UNINTERESTING. TO BE COMPETITIVE MUSICALLY IN THE 21ST CENTURY, YOU HAVE TO LOOK GOOD. AND IT HAPPENS THAT FASHION AND STYLE ARE TWO OF MY REALLY DRIVING PASSIONS. HE MAKES HIS OWN CLOTHES, SPRINKLED WITH SWAROVSKI. BUT CAMERON CARPENTER IS NOT A CASE OF STYLE OVER SUBSTANCE. SIGNED WITH SONY, HE'S KNOWN FOR HIS TECHNICAL BRILLIANCE ` THE FIRST SOLO ORGANIST TO GET A GRAMMY NOD. AND THAT'S WHY I'M IN NZ, NOT BECAUSE I HAPPEN TO WEAR SOME VINTAGE VERSACE COAT ON STAGE... BUT, BY THE WAY, I AM WEARING A VINTAGE VERSACE COAT. SO, HOW HARD IS IT? A BIT OF ORGAN 101. THERE ARE FIVE KEYBOARDS ` FOUR FOR YOUR HANDS, ONE FOR YOUR FEET. AND AN ORCHESTRA AT YOUR FINGERTIPS. FOR INSTANCE, OBOE... OR TRUMPET. IT'S DEMANDING, AND MOST ORGANISTS DON'T TREAD THE KEYS LIKE FRED ASTAIRE. TO REALLY GET THIS MOST MECHANICAL OF INSTRUMENTS TO GET UP AND DANCE AND SING AND LIVE AND GIVE SOME IMPRESSION OF MUSICAL LIFE REQUIRES AN ALMOST EXPONENTIAL OUTPOURING OF ENERGY FROM YOURSELF. CAMERON WORKS OUT EVERY DAY. MOST PEOPLE, I HEAR, HAVE TO TRY TO GO TO THE GYM. FOR ME, I FEEL EMPTY IF I DON'T GO. FUELLING HIS BODY WITH UP TO 5000 CALORIES. I MAY BE UP AT ANY TIME OF THE DAY, AND CONSEQUENTLY MY CALORIE COUNT IS SHOCKINGLY HIGH. HE'S BEEN THIS HOOKED SINCE HE WAS A KID, WHEN HE HEARD A CINEMA ORGAN AND LOVED ITS VIOLENCE. I ALWAYS FELT THE ORGAN WAS, IN FACT, THE LEAST COOL INSTRUMENT. AND I ALWAYS CONSIDERED MYSELF SORT OF AN OUTSIDER KID. SO HE'S TRYING TO REINVENT IT. AND DON'T GET HIM STARTED ON ORGANS IN CHURCHES. IF YOU USE IT AS THE HAND MAIDEN OF LITURGY ONLY AND IGNORE IT AS THE THEATRICAL BACKDROP THAT IT IS, THEN OF COURSE IT MAGNIFIES THAT INTO THE MOST DRONING, BORING, GRINDING, UTTERLY UNINTERESTING MUSIC YOU CAN IMAGINE. DID I MENTION HOW SMART HE IS? SO CAMERON'S DETERMINED TO MAKE THE ORGAN PORTABLE. HIS OWN DIGITAL TOURING ORGAN IS BEING BUILT. IT MAY BE THAT I'M TRYING TO DO SOMETHING VERY DIFFERENT WITH THE INSTRUMENT, BUT IT'S THE ONLY WAY THAT I CAN IMAGINE THAT I COULD EVER STAND TO PLAY THE ORGAN, IS TO PLAY A DIFFERENT VISION OF THE ORGAN. SO WATCH THIS SPACE ` AN ORGAN REVOLUTION IS COMING. Pulling out the stops. That's where it comes from.� half $1 million to build a digital organ. HE'S PLAYING IN AUCKLAND THIS THURSDAY AND SATURDAY, AND NAPIER ON THE 22ND. STAY WITH US. JUST AFTER THE BREAK ` Let's talk about rich weirdos. Do you think they were rich first then became weird or weird first then became rich? When it comes to rich weirdos, when you can't beat them, join them. HERE'S US CORRESPONDENT JACK TAME. FUNKY MUSIC NEW YORK CITY ` THE LAND OF HIGH HEELS, HIGH CHEEKBONES, HIGH FASHION. BUT IN THIS LAND OF CHIC, SVELTE AESTHETIC, A KIWI FASHION PHOTOGRAPHER HAS USURPED THE NEW YORK CATWALKS FOR THE NEW YORK DOG-WALKS INSTEAD. WHAT THEY HAVE IN COMMON IS THE LOVE OF A GOOD PARTY, DRESSING UP, AND HAVING FUN. TOY SQUEAKS PAUL NATHAN IS SNAPPING TWO OF HIS FAVOURITE MUSES. KIMBA AND BOGIE ARE 2-YEAR-OLD BROTHERS, AND THEIR OWNER, ANTHONY, IS ONE OF NEW YORK CITY'S TOP PET COUTURIERES. THERE'S THE OUTFIT. WOW. THAT'S ONE GLAM CHIHUAHUA. YES, THEY'RE VERY GLAMOROUS. THEY KNOW IT. NEW YORK IS A MELTING POT FOR ECCENTRIC PEOPLE WITH PASSION. SO EVERYONE KIND OF FINDS THEIR NICHE. GOOD BOYS. FOR A PHOTOGRAPHER, YOU COULDN'T FIND BETTER SUBJECTS. THESE ARE PAUL NATHAN'S SUBJECTS. HIS BOOK, THE COUTURE DOGS OF NEW YORK, CHRONICLES THE MOST PREENED PUPS AND ZHUZHED-UP MUTTS IN GOTHAM CITY. IT'S A SYMPHONY OF COLOURFUL EXTROVERTS AND THEIR POSING PUPS. THE MORE OVER THE TOP, THE BETTER. SO, THE MORE OUTRAGEOUS... AND THE PEOPLE TOO. I MEAN, SOME OF THE PEOPLE IN THE STUDIO WOULD SING OPERA TO GET THEIR DOGS' ATTENTION. YOU KNOW... IT WAS CRAZY. DO YOU THINK KIMBA LIKES THE ATTENTION? OH, THEY LOVE THE ATTENTION. PARTIES ARE PAW-TIES AND, AND ENTHUSIASTS CELEBRATE BARK-MITZVAHS AND HOLD DOGGIE WEDDINGS, WHICH THEY CALL PUP-TIALS. THEY'LL WRITE TO ME IN DOGGIE LANGUAGE, AND THEN I'LL FIND MYSELF WRITING BACK. SAYING, 'WASN'T THAT A PAW-FECT PAW-TY?' ANTHONY RUBIO DESIGNS ALL MANNER OF DOG OUTFITS, SELLING THEM FOR HUNDREDS OF DOLLARS. I ABSOLUTELY LOVE DOING THIS. IT'S AN EXPRESSION OF MY ART, AND WITH MUSES LIKE THIS AND MODELS THAT DON'T COMPLAIN ` THEY LOVE THE STUFF ` HOW COULD I NOT LIKE IT? ALREADY COUTURE DOGS HAS SOLD OUT IN SOME OF NEW YORK'S BIGGEST-NAMED STORES. IT'S SUCH AN AMAZING FEELING, GOING TO COOL BOOKSTORES AND SEEING YOUR BOOK. I MEAN, IT'S QUITE A SPECIAL FEELING. AND PAUL NATHAN IS STICKING WITH THE DOG THEME FOR HIS NEXT BOOK, FROM COUTURE DOGS TO WELL-GROOMED DOGS. WHO KNOWS? KIMBA AND BOGIE MIGHT JUST GET ANOTHER CALL-UP. I think they should get a call from social services. Radar, thank you so much for coming. Thanks for having me. CAPTIONS BY JUNE YEOW AND HUGO SNELL.
