TONIGHT ` THE NZER ARRESTED FOR ALLEGEDLY BRINGING A MASSIVE DRUG HAUL INTO BALI. GENDER SHAME, MEDIA SHAMING AND PLENTY ELSE ` WHAT WERE THE BEST AND WORST QUOTES OF 2014? AND A VERY UNLIKELY FRIENDSHIP ` RENEWED EVERY WEEK AT A TATTOO PARLOUR. DUE TO THE LIVE NATURE OF TONIGHT, WE APOLOGISE FOR THE LACK OF CAPTIONS FOR SOME ITEMS. A KIWI MAN IS TONIGHT BEHIND BARS IN BALI AFTER BEING ARRESTED FOR DRUG SMUGGLING. INDONESIAN POLICE CLAIM ANTONY DE MALMANCHE TRIED TO ENTER THE COUNTRY WITH A HUGE STASH OF METHAMPHETAMINE ` NEWS THAT'S COMPLETELY SHOCKED HIS FAMILY HERE. DANIELLE STANBURY HAS THE LATEST. BEING PARADED IN FRONT OF INTERNATIONAL MEDIA CLEARLY ISN'T THE WAY ANTONY DE MALMANCHE WAS PLANNING TO SPEND HIS TIME IN BALI. GLENN, HOW ARE YOU, GLENN? HOW ARE YOU FEELING, MATE? THE 52-YEAR-OLD WAS ARRESTED ON MONDAY AT DENPASAR AIRPORT. POLICE SAY HE WAS CARRYING OVER 1� KILOS OF CLASS A DRUGS IN HIS BACKPACK. THE WHANGANUI MAN HAD JUST ARRIVED IN BALI FROM HONG KONG. I'VE BEEN SPEAKING TO ONE OF DE MALMANCHE'S SONS THIS EVENING. HE TOLD ME HIS FATHER WAS IN HONG KONG VISITING A WOMAN HE'D MET ONLINE. HE ADDED THAT HIS FAMILY WAS SHOCKED WHEN THEY HEARD THIS NEWS, AND SAYS AT THIS STAGE, THEY WON'T BE TRAVELLING TO BALI, BECAUSE THEY CAN'T AFFORD IT. THE KEEN FISHERMAN WAS BORN IN DANNEVIRKE. HE WENT TO SCHOOL IN PALMERSTON NORTH BEFORE MOVING TO WHANGANUI, AND WHILE THE MINISTRY OF FOREIGN AFFAIRS AND TRADE SAYS IT'S AWARE OF HIS ARREST, SO FAR IT HASN'T BEEN ASKED FOR ASSISTANCE. IF FOUND GUILTY, ANTONY DE MALAMANCHE COULD FACE THE DEATH PENALTY. DANIELLE STANBURY, ONE NEWS. AND ONE NEWS HAS TONIGHT CONFIRMED ANOTHER NZER HAS BEEN ARRESTED ON SUSPICION OF DRUG SMUGGLING ` THIS TIME IN CHINA. PETER GARDINER WAS ALLEGEDLY TRYING TO IMPORT 75KG OF METHAMPHETAMINE FROM CHINA TO AUSTRALIA. BUT HE AND ANTONY DE MALMANCHE AREN'T THE FIRST NZERS TO GET INTO TROUBLE OVERSEAS ON DRUG CHARGES. JUST A FEW WEEKS AGO, LEEZA ORMSBY ARRIVED BACK HERE AFTER SERVING NINE MONTHS IN A BALI PRISON. SHE WAS SENT TO JAIL AFTER POLICE FOUND HALF A HASHISH JOINT IN HER HANDBAG. ARGUABLY NZ'S MOST FAMOUS CASE ` LORRAINE COHEN AND HER SON AARON WERE CAUGHT SMUGGLING DRUGS IN MALAYSIA IN 1985. LORRAINE WAS SENTENCED TO DEATH, HER SON TO LIFE IN PRISON. THEY SPENT 11 YEARS IN JAIL BEFORE BEING PARDONED. AND SHE ISN'T A KIWI, BUT WHO COULD FORGET THE VERY HIGH-PROFILE EXAMPLE OF SCHAPPELLE CORBY? IN 2005, SHE WAS SENTENCED TO 20 YEARS BEHIND BARS IN A BALI PRISON. SHE SPENT NINE YEARS LOCKED UP AND IS NOW ON PAROLE AND UNABLE TO LEAVE INDONESIA UNTIL 2017. THE MAORI KING'S SECOND SON WILL BE CONVICTED FOR DRINK-DRIVING. KOROTANGI PAKI HAD ADMITTED TO THE CHARGE, ALONG WITH TWO CHARGES OF BURGLARY AND ONE OF THEFT, BUT IN JULY HE WAS LET OFF, BECAUSE HIS LAWYER ARGUED A CONVICTION WOULD RUIN HIS CHANCES OF BECOMING KING. HOWEVER THE HIGH COURT TODAY OVERTURNED THAT DECISION, RULING A CONVICTION BE ENTERED AGAINST THE 19-YEAR-OLD FOR THE DRINK-DRIVING CHARGE. POLICE DOCUMENTS RELEASED TODAY HAVE OUTLINED MORE DETAILS IN THEIR CASE AGAINST AC/DC DRUMMER PHIL RUDD. POLICE ALLEGE THE MUSICIAN (60) PHONED A CONTRACTOR WHO WORKED FOR HIM, THREATENING TO KILL THE MAN AND HIS YOUNG DAUGHTER. RUDD HAS DENIED THE CHARGE. POLICE ALSO ALLEGE THEY FOUND METHAMPHETAMINE AND CANNABIS WHEN THEY RAIDED RUDD'S TAURANGA HOME EARLIER LAST MONTH. 'IT WAS THE WORST NIGHT OF MY LIFE.' THE SKIPPER'S WORDS AFTER HIS VOLVO OCEAN RACING YACHT SMASHED INTO A REEF, FORCING HIS CREW, INCLUDING TWO NZERS, TO ABANDON SHIP. DRAMATIC NEW PICTURES HAVE EMERGED, SHOWING THE FRIGHTENING MOMENT OF IMPACT IN THE SOUTHERN INDIAN OCEAN. PAUL HOBBS REPORTS. PITCH BLACK DOING 35KM/H ON WHAT SHOULD HAVE BEEN CLEAR OPEN WATER. THEN THIS ` BANG! CRUNCH! TEAM VESTAS WIND SMASHING HEADLONG INTO A REEF. <BLEEP>. IT'S A BIG ROCK HERE. IT'S A ROCK. HOLY SHIT. THE 20M YACHT WAS NOW STRICKEN.... HANG ON, GUYS. ...IN THE MIDDLE OF THE INDIAN OCEAN, HUNDREDS OF KILOMETRES FROM MAURITIUS. DOWN BELOW, THE INITIAL ASSESSMENT IS FRIGHTENING. BEHIND ME THERE IS ZERO BOAT LEFT. THE AFT SECTION IS <BLEEP>ED. BUFFETED BY WAVES, THE ONLY GOOD NEWS WAS THAT ALL NINE CREW MEMBERS ARE UNINJURED AND SAFE. FIVE HOURS TO DAYLIGHT, WE'RE ON THE REEF. ABOUT` CRACK! OOH! WHAT YOU JUST HEARD WAS A BIT OF CRACKING. WITH WATER POURING IN, THE ONLY OPTION IS TO GET OFF. REQUIRE IMMEDIATE ASSISTANCE TO ABANDON SHIP. SCRAMBLING INTO TWO LIFE RAFTS, THE CREW TAKE REFUGE ON THE REEF. DAYLIGHT REVEALED THE HORROR STATE OF THEIR $7M YACHT ` PRECARIOUSLY BALANCED ON ITS SWING KEEL, THE ENTIRE REAR SECTION RIPPED OPEN, BOTH RUDDERS GONE. WE'RE GONNA TRY AND CLEAN UP THE BOAT AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE, AND THEN WE'RE GOING TO DO THE BEST WE CAN TO SALVAGE WHAT'S LEFT. JUST A FORTNIGHT AGO, THE YACHT JOINED SIX OTHERS SAILING OUT OF CAPE TOWN, EMBARKING ON THE SECOND LEG OF THE VOLVO OCEAN RACE TO ABU DHABI. TWO OF NZ'S MOST EXPERIENCED OCEAN SAILORS ARE ON BOARD TEAM VESTAS WIND ` TONY RAE AND ROB SALTHOUSE. THE CREW WAS RESCUED BY A SMALL COASTGUARD BOAT AND ONLY YESTERDAY REACHED MAURITIUS. IT'S DEFINITELY THE TOUGHEST NIGHT OF MY LIFE, AND, FOR SURE, I THINK THAT IT'S THE SAME FOR THE GUYS. THE IMPACT'S UNDESCRIBABLE. THE SKIPPER ADMITS HUMAN ERROR WAS TO BLAME. THE YACHT'S NAVIGATOR, DUTCHMAN WOUTER VERBRAAK, IS SURE TO FACE SCRUTINY. NOW THE TEAM HAS TO DECIDE WHETHER IT CAN OVERCOME THIS SHOCK BUMP IN THE NIGHT AND REJOIN THE RACE. I JUST FEEL LIKE WE CAN'T LET THIS TEAM STOP. PAUL HOBBS, ONE NEWS. THE WELLINGTON MAN ACCUSED OF LIGHTING A FIRE AT A SELF STORAGE CENTRE ALLEGEDLY STARTED THE BLAZE AS REVENGE. THAT'S ACCORDING TO PROSECUTION LAWYERS, WHO MADE THE COMMENT DURING THEIR CLOSING ADDRESS AT ANGELO BITOSSI'S TRIAL AT THE HIGH COURT IN WELLINGTON. AS WELL AS MOTIVE, THE CROWN ARGUED BITOSSI HAD THE SECURITY CODE FOR THE FACILITY AND OWNED A HAT THAT WAS FOUND ON THE PREMISES, BUT MR BITOSSI'S LAWYER SAYS THE HAT WAS PLACED THERE TO FRAME THE 35-YEAR-OLD. IT WAS A FALSE-SCENT TRAIL TO COVER THE TRACKS OF THE PERSON WHO COMMITTED THE ARSON. THERE IS JUST NO OTHER REASON WHY THAT HAD WOULD BE THERE. WHAT THE CROWN SAY IS THAT THAT EVIDENCE, IN RELATION TO THE DNA, IS PARTICULARLY COMPELLING THAT IT WAS THE DEFENDANT, MR BITOSSI, WHO WAS IN THE PREMISES. JUSTICE SIMON FRANCE WILL DELIVER HIS VERDICT ON THURSDAY. THEY'VE SPENT MORE THAN A CENTURY IN AN AMERICAN MUSEUM, BUT TODAY THE LARGEST COLLECTION OF MAORI ANCESTRAL REMAINS HAS BEEN RETURNED TO NZ. REPORTER ANDREW MORRISON WAS AT THE HISTORIC REPATRIATION CEREMONY AT TE PAPA. PEOPLE PERFORM HAKA, KARANGA AN EMOTIONAL HOMECOMING. INSIDE THESE BOXES ARE 107 ANCESTRAL REMAINS, INCLUDING 35 PRESERVED, TATTOOED HEADS RETURNED FROM THE UNITED STATES. (SOBS) EMOTIONAL. OVER 100 YEARS THAT OUR ANCESTORS HAVE BEEN WAITING TO COME HOME. SOME OF THEIR DESCENDANTS WERE AT TODAY'S CEREMONY. IT'S A HUGE ISSUE, FIRSTLY FOR THE FAMILIES, BECAUSE SOME OF THESE PEOPLE ARE ACTUALLY KNOWN. INDIGENOUS REMAINS WERE BOUGHT AND SOLD IN THE 18TH AND 19TH CENTURY AND ENDED UP IN THE HANDS OF MAINLY EUROPEAN AND NORTH AMERICAN COLLECTORS. MORE THAN A THIRD OF THE ITEMS RETURNED TODAY CAME FROM THE COLLECTION OF A BRITISH OFFICER, MAJOR HORATIO ROBLEY. MAJOR ROBLEY SERVED IN THE BRITISH ARMY DURING THE NZ LAND WARS IN THE 1860S. HE WROTE BOOKS ON MAORI TATTOOING. HE TRIED TO SELL THE REMAINS TO THE NZ GOVERNMENT TWICE IN 1899 AND 1901, BUT WAS TURNED DOWN. INSTEAD THEY WERE BOUGHT BY THE AMERICAN MUSEUM OF NATURAL HISTORY IN 1907. TWO STAFF FROM THE NEW YORK MUSEUM TOOK PART IN THE CEREMONY. # TENA KOUTOU,... # ...E HOA MA. # THIS EXPERIENCE HAS BEEN INCREDIBLY MOVING ` FROM THE TIME I ARRIVED TILL THE PROCESSION UP THE STAIRS. TE PAPA STAFF WILL NOW BEGIN ANALYSING THE REMAINS, USING DNA TESTING AND OTHER RESEARCH TO TRACE THEIR ORIGINS BACK TO THEIR ORIGINAL IWI. IT WILL PROBABLY TAKE QUITE A NUMBER OF YEARS TO ACTUALLY GO THROUGH IT. IT'S VERY MUCH DETECTIVE WORK. IT'S SORT OF PUTTING PIECES OF THE PUZZLE BACK TOGETHER. THIS IS THE LARGEST IN A SERIES OF REPATRIATIONS WHICH STARTED IN THE MID-1980S. MORE THAN 600 ARE STILL IN INSTITUTIONS AROUND THE WORLD. ANDREW MORRISON, ONE NEWS. THE CHRISTCHURCH CITY COUNCIL PLANS TO RAISE $550M BY SELLING OFF ASSETS, AS IT BATTLES TO FUND AN EXPECTED $1B SHORTFALL. A BLOW OUT IN THE COST OF REBUILDING THE CITY HAS GOT THE COUNCIL TRYING TO WORK OUT HOW TO GET BACK IN THE BLACK. UNDER THE PROPOSAL, THE COUNCIL WOULD KEEP CONTROL OF ITS KEY ASSETS BUT SELL OFF PARTIAL SHAREHOLDINGS. I'M NOT GONNA SAY THAT TODAY'S BEEN AN EASY DECISION FOR PEOPLE TO TAKE. IT HASN'T BEEN. THE BREAKDOWN WOULD INCLUDE THE SALE OF 34% OF LYTTLETON PORT COMPANY, 9% OF CHRISTCHURCH INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT ` EACH TO A STRATEGIC PARTNER ` AND 14% OF ORION LINES COMPANY TO ANOTHER PUBLIC ENTITY. A FINAL DECISION WILL BE MADE IN JUNE NEXT YEAR. THERE ARE CALLS FOR WELLINGTON TO AVOID FOLLOWING AUCKLAND'S EXAMPLE IF IT DOES BECOME A SUPERCITY. THE LOCAL GOVERNMENT COMMISSION HAS RECOMMENDED WELLINGTON'S NINE COUNCILS BE MERGED INTO ONE, DESPITE STRONG OPPOSITION FROM THOSE IN THE WAIRARAPA. EXPERTS SAY IF THE PLAN DOES GO AHEAD, WELLINGTON'S MAYOR MUST BE GIVEN MORE POWER THAN LEN BROWN IN AUCKLAND, WHO HAS JUST ONE VOTE AROUND THE COUNCIL TABLE. YOU KNOW WHEN YOU SAY A CRACKER ONE-LINER, AND SECRETLY YOU HOPE IT'S REMEMBERED? SOMETIMES THE ONES YOU'RE NOT SO PROUD OF STICK IN PEOPLE'S MINDS TOO, AND THAT CAN BECOME A BIT EMBARRASSING COME 'QUOTE OF THE YEAR' TIME. MELISSA STOKES HAS 2014'S FINALISTS. THERE WERE THOSE YOU LISTENED TO... YOU PUFFED UP LITTLE <BLEEP>. WHEN WILL YOU GLOVE PUPPETS OF CAMERON SLATER JUST <BLEEP> OFF? ...AND HAD TO REWIND TO WATCH A SEASONED OPERATOR COMPLETELY LOSE IT. YOU PUFFED UP LITTLE <BLEEP>. WE MADE IT IN AMERICA WITH THIS ONE. I'D GO SO FAR AS TO SAY THAT NZ HAS MADE AN... (IMITATES KIWI ACCENT) ENEMY OF EMINEM. BUT PERHAPS THE REASON IT DIDN'T AFFECT THE OUTCOME OF THE ELECTION IS THAT THE PARTY'S CAMPAIGN MANAGER HAD THIS BRILLIANT LEGAL DEFENCE. WE THINK IT'S, UM, PRETTY LEGAL. BUT BEING MOCKED BY AN OVERSEAS TALK SHOW DOESN'T GUARANTEE THE TOP SPOT. WHAT WE ARE LOOKING FOR IS QUOTES THAT PEOPLE REMEMBER AND QUOTES THAT PEOPLE WILL PROBABLY REMEMBER IN OTHER YEARS. ONE OF THEM THAT DOES STAND OUT IS DAVID CUNLIFFE'S ONE. I'M SORRY FOR BEING A MAN. I THINK WE WILL REPEAT THAT MANY YEARS TO COME. I'M SORRY FOR BEING A MAN. KIA ORA. GOOD EVENING. THE TWISTS AND TURNS OF THE DIRTY POLITICS SAGA... THESE TWO WORDS WHERE ALSO ON HIGH ROTATE THIS YEAR. DIRTY POLITICS. DIRTY POLITICS. DIRTY POLITICS. DIRTY POLITICS. NICKY HAGER'S BOMBSHELL OF A BOOK GENERATED SOME OF THE YEAR'S MOST MEMORABLE UTTERANCES. DOTCOM COULDN'T BELIEVE THE PM DODGED A BULLET AGAINST THE ALLEGATIONS. A LOT OF THE QUOTES THAT WE LOOKED AT REVOLVED AROUND TWO BIGGER THAN LIFE MEN ` KIM DOTCOM AND CAMERON SLATER. AND WHATEVER ELSE YOU MIGHT THINK OF HIM, AT LEAST CAMERON SLATER GIVES GOOD OUTBURSTS. AND APPROPRIATELY FOR THIS TIME OF YEAR, A BOOZE WARNING WAS SO POPULAR IT MADE ITS WAY INTO A LARGELY POLITICAL FIELD. ALL: NO MORE BEERSIES FOR YOU. MELISSA STOKES, ONE NEWS. IT'S BECOMING AN ALL-TOO-FAMILIAR STORY ` ANOTHER DEATH OF A BLACK MAN AND MORE ANGER IN THE US. THAT'S COMING UP NEXT. PLUS ` A FOILED RESCUE ATTEMPT COULD SEE AN AMERICAN HOSTAGE IN EVEN GREATER DANGER. SO WHAT'S PLAN B? AND BEAUTIFUL? CHECK. EXOTIC? CHECK. BUT WHAT SETS THIS LATEST BOND GIRL APART FROM ALL THE REST? THERE'S BEEN YET ANOTHER FATAL POLICE SHOOTING IN THE US, AND ONCE AGAIN, THE PERSON KILLED WAS AN UNARMED BLACK MAN. AUTHORITIES SAY THE OFFICER BELIEVED THE MAN, A SUSPECTED DRUG DEALER, WAS CARRYING A WEAPON. HE WAS SHOT AND KILLED DURING A STRUGGLE OUTSIDE A CONVENIENCE STORE IN PHOENIX. THE LATEST SHOOTING COMES AS RACIAL TENSIONS CONTINUE TO RISE AFTER A WHITE COP ESCAPED PROSECUTION OVER THE DEATH OF ERIC GARNER BY CHOKEHOLD. THE FAMILY OF AN AMERICAN HOSTAGE HAS APPEALED TO AL QAEDA MILITANTS TO 'SHOW MERCY' AND RELEASE HIM. THAT'S AS THE US REVEALED IT TRIED TO RESCUE JOURNALIST LUKE SOMERS LAST MONTH. THE MISSION FAILED, AND NOW THE MILITANTS SAY HIS LIFE'S IN EVEN GREATER DANGER. CHANNEL NINE'S CHRISTINE AHERN HAS MORE. ANOTHER AMERICAN HOSTAGE FILMED PLEADING FOR HIS LIFE. IT'S NOW BEEN WELL OVER A YEAR SINCE I WAS KIDNAPPED IN SANA'A. BASICALLY, I'M LOOKING FOR ANY HELP THAT CAN GET ME OUT OF THIS SITUATION. LUKE SOMERS, A JOURNALIST AND INTERPRETER, WAS ABDUCTED IN YEMEN BY THE AL QAEDA-AFFILIATED TERROR GROUP 14 MONTHS AGO. REVELATIONS TODAY THAT THE 33-YEAR-OLD WAS THE SUBJECT OF A DARING RESCUE ATTEMPT LAST WEEK IN ONE OF THE MOST REMOTE AND DANGEROUS PROVINCES IN YEMEN. AS SOON AS THE US GOVERNMENT HAD RELIABLE INTELLIGENCE AND AN OPERATIONAL PLAN, THE PRESIDENT AUTHORISED THE DEPARTMENT OF DEFENCE TO CONDUCT AN OPERATION TO RESCUE MR SOMERS. US SPECIAL FORCES LANDED AT NIGHT BEFORE MAKING THEIR WAY ON FOOT TO A CAVE DEEP IN A MOUNTAINSIDE, WHERE THE AL QAEDA MILITANTS WERE HIDING HOSTAGES. WHILE SOME WERE RESCUED, SOMERS HAD BEEN MOVED TO ANOTHER LOCATION JUST TWO DAYS BEFORE THE RAID. HIS DISTRAUGHT FAMILY ARE NOW ASKING HIS CAPTORS FOR MERCY. LUKE IS ONLY A PHOTO-JOURNALIST, AND HE IS NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY ACTIONS THE US GOVERNMENT HAS TAKEN. THE TERROR GROUP IS CALLING ON PRESIDENT OBAMA TO MEET THEIR DEMANDS IN THREE DAYS OR LUKE WILL BE EXECUTED. IT'S UNCLEAR WHAT THOSE DEMANDS ARE BUT COULD INVOLVE A PRISON SWAP. I'M CERTAIN THAT MY LIFE IS IN DANGER, SO AS I SIT HERE NOW, I ASK, IF ANYTHING CAN BE DONE, PLEASE LET IT BE DONE. RUSSIAN SPECIAL FORCES HAVE RETAKEN TWO BUILDINGS, INCLUDING A SCHOOL, WHICH WERE SEIZED BY MILITANTS IN THE REPUBLIC OF CHECHNYA. SIX GUNMEN WERE KILLED IN THE OPERATION, WHILE 13 POLICE DIED. RUSSIAN ANTI-TERRORISM OFFICIALS SAY THE MILITANTS WERE FROM A RADICAL ISLAMIC GROUP BASED IN THE NORTH CAUCASUS REGION. THE VIOLENCE ERUPTED EARLY IN THE MORNING, SO NO ONE WAS AT THE SCHOOL. NASA HAS BEEN FORCED TO DELAY THE LAUNCH OF ITS ORION SPACE CRAFT AFTER TECHNICAL PROBLEMS AND WIND. THE UNMANNED FLIGHT WAS SUPPOSED TO TAKE OFF LAST NIGHT BUT HAD TO BE POSTPONED AFTER TECHNICAL AND WEATHER ISSUES. IT WAS BAD NEWS FOR THE CROWDS WHO FLOCKED TO SEE THE LAUNCH, BUT SCIENTISTS WILL TRY AGAIN TONIGHT. IT'S HOPED THE SPACESHIP WILL ONE DAY TAKE HUMANS TO AN ASTEROID OR EVEN TO MARS. IT'S WHAT EVERY JAMES BOND FAN HAS BEEN WAITING FOR ` DETAILS OF THE NEXT MOVIE IN THE FRANCHISE HAVE BEEN UNVEILED IN LONDON. 'SPECTRE' IS A TANTALISING NOD TO THE 1960S AND THE GLORY DAYS OF 'DOCTOR NO' AND 'THUNDERBALL'. CHANNEL NINE'S AMELIA BALLINGER EXPLAINS. AFTER MONTHS OF SPECULATION, THEY UNVEILED THE TITLE... GUNSHOT ...THE CAR... CHEERING ...AND THE CAST ALL IN ONE DAY. AND WITH DANIEL CRAIG BACK AS THE LEADING MAN, BOND FANS CAN FINALLY START THE COUNTDOWN FOR THE 24TH FILM IN THE MOST ENDURING FRANCHISE OF ALL TIME. I BELIEVE WE'VE GOT A BETTER SCRIPT THAN WE HAD LAST TIME, SO IT'S JUST... HERE WE GO. AND EVEN THOUGH CRAIG HAS HAD THREE HUGELY SUCCESSFUL STINTS IN THE ROLE, HE STILL FEELS PRESSURE. OH, A HUGE AMOUNT. WE'VE GOTTA BE BIGGER AND BETTER THAN 'SKYFALL'. IT'S AS SIMPLE AS THAT. THAT WILL BE A TOUGH ASK, GIVEN THAT 'SKYFALL' WAS THE SEVENTH-HIGHEST-GROSSING FILM OF ALL TIME, TAKING IN MORE THAN $1.1B. MONICA BELLUCCI WILL JOIN THE CAST AS THE NEWEST BOND GIRL, AND CHRISTOPH WALTZ IS WIDELY RUMOURED TO BE PLAYING BOND'S LONG-TIME NEMESIS, ERNST BLOFELD ` NOT THAT HE'S WILLING TO GIVE ANYTHING AWAY. I NEVER TALK ABOUT THE CHARACTERS OR STORIES THAT I'M EITHER WORKING ON OR PLANNING TO BE IN. FILMING STARTS ON MONDAY, AND ALL WE KNOW SO FAR IS THAT BOND RECEIVES A CRYPTIC MESSAGE FROM HIS PAST THAT LEADS HIM TO UNCOVER THE TRUTH BEHIND SPECTRE. WE'LL HAVE TO WAIT UNTIL THE END OF NEXT YEAR TO FIND OUT JUST WHAT HIS JOURNEY ENTAILS. GUNSHOT AND THE NEWEST BOND GIRL IS ALSO THE OLDEST IN THE FILM SERIES' HISTORY. ITALIAN MONICA BELLUCCI (50) BEATS HONOR BLACKMAN, WHO WAS 39 WHEN SHE PLAYED PUSSY GALORE IN 'GOLDFINGER' IN 1964. BELLUCCI'S EXCITED ABOUT GRACING THE SCREEN IN THE FAMOUS FRANCHISE. JAMES BOND IN OUR FANTASY REPRESENTS THE PERFECT MAN, THE IDEAL MAN ` PROTECTOR, COURAGEOUS, MYSTERIOUS, SEXY AND THE PERFECT ENGLISH GENTLEMAN. RALPH FIENNES IS BACK AS 'M' IN 'SPECTRE', WHILE NAOMIE HARRIS RETURNS AS 'MONEYPENNY'. JUST AHEAD ` NOT A BAD SATURDAY AHEAD. WE'LL LOOK AT YOUR WEATHER. AND WHY ONE TATTOO SHOP HAS THE SAME WOMAN COMING BACK FOR WORK EVERY WEEK. OUR NEXT STORY IS ABOUT FRIENDSHIP AND HOW SOME OF THE GREATEST ONES CAN BE FORMED IN THE MOST UNLIKELY CIRCUMSTANCES. MICHAEL HOLLAND WENT TO MEET SUZIE AND JASON. HEAVY ROCK MUSIC TATTOO GUN BUZZES SHE SITS HAPPILY, JUST WAITING, AS SHE DOES MOST FRIDAYS, THIS MOST UNLIKELY OF CLIENTS.
