ALL RIGHT, THANKS, GUYS. GIDDAY, EVERYBODY. WELCOME TO 'STORY'. GREAT TO HAVE YOUR COMPANY TONIGHT. AS YOU CAN SEE, I'M HERE IN THE STUDIO ON MY OWN, AND HEATHER IS ON ASSIGNMENT IN WELLINGTON. IT'S A VERY SPECIAL ROYAL ASSIGNMENT, HEATHER. THAT'S RIGHT, DUNCAN. I HAVE BEEN LUCKY ENOUGH TO HAVE A CHAT WITH PRINCE CHARLES AND UNLUCKY ENOUGH TO EARN MYSELF A LITTLE BIT OF A SPOT STANDING IN THE RAIN AS A RESULT OF IT. COMING UP ON THE PROGRAMME ` I'M GONNA TELL YOU AS MUCH AS I CAN ABOUT HAVING A ONE-ON-ONE WITH THE HEIR AND WHAT ONE IS NOT SUPPOSED TO DO IN SUCH SITUATIONS. YES, WHAT A SHOCKER FOR YOU. ALSO TONIGHT ` RUGBY ROYALTY. WE'VE BEEN SOAKING UP THE ATMOSPHERE AT VICTORIA PARK IN AUCKLAND. I WAS THERE. WE'VE BEEN ASKING THE CROWD WHETHER THEY WANT RICHIE MCCAW TO PLAY ON. AND WE TALK TO THE 13-YEAR-OLD FROM CHRISTCHURCH WHO WAS STRAPPED TO THE FRONT OF A MONSTER TRUCK AND DRIVEN THROUGH A BURNING WALL. CAPTIONS BY ASHLEE SCHOLEFIELD. WWW.ABLE.CO.NZ CAPTIONS WERE MADE POSSIBLE WITH FUNDING FROM NZ ON AIR. COPYRIGHT ABLE 2015 ALL RIGHT. WELCOME TO THE SHOW, EVERYBODY. IT IS GREAT TO HAVE YOUR COMPANY TONIGHT. BEEN A GREAT DAY. I'VE BEEN IN AUCKLAND. WHAT WE WILL ALSO TELL YOU TONIGHT IS THIS INCREDIBLE STORY ABOUT THE INCREDIBLE BIONIC HAND THAT ARE BEING MADE IN NZ. SO DON'T MISS THAT ONE. BUT FIRST, HEATHER IS IN WELLINGTON, YOU SEE, WHERE BETWEEN THE WEATHER AND EVERYBODY FOCUSING ON THE RUGBY, IT HAS NOT FELT LIKE A GREAT DAY FOR A ROYAL ARRIVAL. LOOK AT YOU THERE. THAT'S A SHOCKER. HOW'S IT BEEN? (CRIES) I JUST WANT TO BE BACK IN THE STUDIO. (LAUGHS) IT IS SO BAD HERE. IT'S HONESTLY` I LIVE IN WELLINGTON, AND EVEN I'M` I'M EMBARRASSED, COS YOU KNOW WHAT HAPPENS? REMEMBER, UM, OLD WHAT'S THEIR NAMES, WILLS AND KATE? YOU'RE NOT S'POSED TO CALL THEM THAT. YOU'RE S'POSED TO CALL THEM BY THEIR TITLES. BUT WHEN THEY CAME HERE, IT WAS RAINING LIKE THIS. THESE PICTURES GET BEAMED AROUND THE WORLD, AND THIS IS WHAT PEOPLE THINK GOES ON IN THIS COUNTRY ALL THE TIME. SO, YOU'VE ACTUALLY` JUST GIVE US A LITTLE SORTA TEASE HERE. YOU'VE ACTUALLY MET CHARLES AND CAMILLA, HAVE YOU? YOU'VE BEEN IN THE ROOM WITH THEM? YES, I HAVE. NOW, WHAT HAPPENS WITH THESE THINGS ` IT'S VERY HUSH-HUSH ` WE'RE NOT EVEN S'POSED TO REALLY SAY THAT THIS HAS HAPPENED. BUT I MANAGED TO KIND OF MISUNDERSTAND THINGS AND NEGOTIATE WITH THEM, AND CLARENCE HOUSE HAS BEEN VERY COOL, AND THEY SAID WE CAN TELL YOU JUST A LITTLE BIT ABOUT IT. IT'S PRETTY STRICT, BUT I'LL BE ABLE TO TELL YOU ABOUT IT JUST A LITTLE WHILE LATER WHEN I GET A LITTLE BIT DRY, HOPEFULLY. OK. HEY, I HAD ABOUT 30,000 PEOPLE AROUND ME TODAY WHEN I WAS AT VICTORIA PARK. WHAT DID YOU HAVE, ABOUT 30? DID ANYONE TURN UP? DID THEY TURN UP FOR YOU, DUNCAN? YEAH, THEY TURNED UP FOR THE ALL BLACKS. I JUST HAPPENED TO BE THERE. WHAT ABOUT YOU? YOU'RE FAMOUS. UM, LOOK, TO BE HONEST, I HAVEN'T REALLY BEEN TRAIPSING AROUND WITH CAMILLA AND CHARLES, BUT, UH, WE HAD ABOUT 40, SO IT IS QUITE SELECT. GOOD ON YA. HEY, WE'LL COME BACK TO YOU VERY SHORTLY. YOU CAN SORT OF GIVE US MAYBE A BIT MORE INFORMATION ABOUT THAT MEETING. NOW, IT HAS BEEN A REAL PARTY DAY HERE IN AUCKLAND, AS I MENTIONED ` THE ALL BLACKS, OF COURSE, WITH THEIR WELCOME HOME CELEBRATIONS. I WENT DOWN TO VICTORIA PARK. IT WAS AMAZING. I RECKON THAT THIS VICTORY HAS PUT A REAL SMILE ON ALL OUR DIALS, AND EVERYONE'S GLOWING, I THINK. BUT THIS NEXT STORY IS ABOUT WHAT THE WHOLE THING ` THIS WHOLE EVENT TODAY ` LOOKED LIKE THROUGH THE EYES OF A DIEHARD FAN. SO WE SENT MIKE WESLEY-SMITH DOWN WITH THE ALL BLACKS' 16TH MAN ` HE'S IN THE TEAM ` 9-YEAR-OLD TOM HOPPER. TOM HOPPER SAYS HIS MUM IS THE BEST MUM IN THE WHOLE ENTIRE WORLD. WE'RE GOING TO SEE THE ALL BLACKS PARADE. WHOA. WHAT DO YOU THINK OF THAT, TOM? REALLY AWESOME. WE DECIDED TO TAG ALONG WITH TOM AS HE SAID GIDDAY TO HIS HEROES. FIRST, THOUGH, WE HAD TO SORT THE GET-UP. YOUR MUM TOLD ME YOU'D WANT TO WEAR THIS JERSEY. NO. WHY NOT? I DON'T LIKE AUSTRALIA. OH, YOU DON'T LIKE AUSTRA`? OH. SORRY. RIGHT. RIGHT. SCRATCH THAT. TOM DIDN'T HAVE AN AB'S JERSEY HANDY, SO I GAVE HIM MINE. WHAT IS THE FIRST THING YOU'RE GONNA YELL TO THE ALL BLACKS? WASSUP, BRO? 'WASSUP, BRO?' JOINING HERO-HUNGRY HORDES, VIEWING WAS LIMITED, SO WE HAD TO IMPROVISE. ALL RIGHT, MATE. WE WAITED. ANY SIGN OF THEM? NO, I CAN'T SEE THEM. WHILST WE HADN'T SIGHTED ALL BLACKS YET, WE DID STUMBLE INTO SOME RECOGNISABLE FACES. GIVE THE FAMOUS PEOPLE A WAVE. HI! AND THEN DECIDED TO KILL THE TIME LIKE ANY LADS DO BY TALKING RUGBY. FIRSTLY, SHOULD RICHIE RETIRE? OH NO! RICHIE MCCAW'S ALREADY 37. NO, NO, NO, DON'T SAY THAT, MATE. HE'S 34. OH. YOU THINK HE'S PERFORMING AS WELL AS HE EVER DID? YUP. AND YOU'D KNOW. YOU PLAY FOR NORTHCOTE. YUP. THEN I CHECKED WHETHER TOM WOULD HAVE A RUSH OF BLOOD TO THE HEAD AND RUN OUT AND GRAB ONE OF THE PLAYERS' MEDALS. NO, COS YOU WOULD GET SMOKED BY A SECURITY GUARD. AT THIS POINT, I WAS BEGINNING TO GET SMOKED UNDER THE STRAIN AND FOUND OTHERS IN A SIMILAR PREDICAMENT. THIS IS, UH`? THIS IS QUITE HARD WORK, EH? YEP. BUT THEN, FINALLY... CHEERING GO FORWARD. GO FORWARD. OOH, THEY'RE COMING. ALL RIGHT. ALL RIGHT. GET THE FLAG READY. GOOD THING TOM WAS EXCELLENT AT SPOTTING ALL BLACKS. I CAN'T SEE ANYTHING, BUT I'M SURE, UH` I'M SURE TOM'S HAVING A GOOD TIME. (YELLS) I CAN SEE MILNER-SKUDDER. MILNER-SKUDDER! WITH ALL THE PEOPLE THERE, THOUGH, THAT IS HOW CLOSE WE THOUGHT WE'D GET TO TOM'S HEROES. SO, TOM, HOW WAS THAT? GOOD. WAS THAT PRETTY AWESOME? YUP. BUT THEN SERENDIPITY SMILED DOWN ON YOUNG TOM HOPPER. AN OPPORTUNITY TO INTERVIEW ALL BLACK BEN SMITH POPPED UP LATE THIS AFTERNOON, AND LIKE ANY GOOD PLAYER, TOM WAS IN THE RIGHT PLACE AT THE RIGHT TIME. WHAT WAS YOUR MOST EXCITING MOMENT OF THE FINALS? MOST EXCITING MOMENT. I THINK WHEN I SAW BEAUDY BARRETT COME FROM NOWHERE AND SCOOP UP THE BALL AND SCORE THE TRY RIGHT AT THE END. THAT WAS PRETTY EXCITING. YEAH. WHAT WAS YOURS? UM, WELL, MINE` PROBABLY MY MOST EXCITING PART WASN'T ACTUALLY AT THE GAME. IT WAS ACTUALLY SEEING YOU, LIVE, RIGHT NOW. OH. OH, AWESOME. THAT'S GREAT. (LAUGHS) NOW, THAT IS GOOD, ISN'T IT? THAT IS NICE. GO, TOM HOPPER. YOU HAVE DAY AT SCHOOL TOMORROW. I DIDN'T THINK THAT MIKE WESLEY-SMITH WAS GONNA BE USED AS A LADDER TODAY. I'M NOT SURE HE DID EITHER. IF YOU'VE GOT KIDS, WOULD YOU LET ONE OF THEM GET ON THE FRONT OF A MONSTER TRUCK AND BE DRIVEN THROUGH A BURNING WALL OF STRAW? NO? I DON'T THINK I WOULD. WELL, WHAT IF YOU'VE GOT A PRETTY GUTSY 13-YEAR-OLD WHO REALLY, REALLY, REALLY WANTS TO GIVE IT A GO? LOOK AT THIS. ENGINE REVS INDISTINCT COMMENTARY YEAH, IT'S AN INTERESTING VISION, ISN'T IT? THE VERY BRAVE GIRL ON THE FRONT OF THAT TRUCK IS TORI GILES, AND SHE JOINS ME NOW LIVE FROM CHRISTCHURCH WITH HER DAD, DON MAZEY. WE APPRECIATE YOU GUYS JOINING US. TORI, I MIGHT START WITH YOU. THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR JOINING US ON THE PROGRAMME. THAT'S ALL RIGHT. WHAT WAS GOING THROUGH YOUR MIND? WHAT WAS GOING THROUGH YOUR MIND WHEN YOU DID THAT? UM, JUST THE THRILL OF IT, YOU KNOW. JUST WANTING TO TRY SOMETHING NEW. RIGHT. WHO PUT YOU UP TO IT? WAS IT YOUR IDEA OR WAS IT DAD'S, OR WHO PUT YOU UP TO THAT? UM,... (CHUCKLES) IT WAS MY IDEA. I ASKED THE DRIVER IF I WOULD BE ABLE TO DO IT, COS HE WAS LOOKING FOR SOMEONE ELSE TO FILL IN FOR SOMEONE WHO WASN'T GONNA DO IT, AND HE SAID YEAH, IT WAS QUITE ALL RIGHT WITH HIM. RIGHT. AND HAVE YOU DONE ANYTHING LIKE THIS BEFORE? NO, I HADN'T. RIGHT. AND, DAD, IF I COULD JUST BRING YOU IN HERE. DID YOU, UM`? WAS THIS YOUR IDEA? I MEAN, IS THIS SOMETHING THAT YOU WERE WORRIED ABOUT OR YOU HAVE NO PROBLEMS WITH IT? NO, I DON'T HAVE ANY PROBLEMS WITH IT. I'D ALREADY BEEN` I'D ALREADY, UM, BEEN THROUGH AND DONE ONE. I'D DONE FIRE WALLS BEFORE. SO IT WASN'T A PROBLEM. COS TO ME ` AND I'LL BE HONEST ABOUT THIS ` WHEN I SAW THE FOOTAGE FOR THE FIRST TIME, I THOUGHT, 'MAN, THIS LOOKS REALLY AMATEUR.' BUT MAYBE I'M REALLY IGNORANT ON THIS. HERE'S THIS FOOTAGE AGAIN. WE'RE JUST LOOKING AT THIS NOW, DON. BUT DID YOU GO THROUGH LOTS OF SAFETY, SORTA, DRILLS BEFOREHAND, IF IT ALL WENT WRONG? FIRST ONE WE GOTTA DO IS WE GOTTA WORK OUT WHO'S DOING WHAT AND WHERE ALL THE FIRE` ALL THE EQUIPMENT IS, FIRE EXTINGUISHERS, ET CETERA. WE'VE GOT TO MAKE SURE THAT SHE'S GOT ALL THE RIGHT` THE ONE ON THE FRONT HAS ALL THE RIGHT GEAR. SO DOES THE DRIVER OF THE UTE. AND THEN ALL WE GOTTA DO IS BUILD ALL THE FIRE WALLS. THAT'S THE EASY PART. OK. SO DID YOU CLEAR ALL THIS OFF, YOU KNOW, WITH THE POLICE OR WITH THE AMBULANCE OR WITH FIRE? DO YOU HAVE TO DO THAT SORT OF THING? NO. WE JUST HAVE THE FIRE BRIGADE USUALLY ON STANDBY. THIS TIME WE HAD PROTRANZ FROM CHRISTCHURCH ON STANDBY, AND THEY'VE GOT A EX-FIRE TRUCK OFF THE NAC FROM PALMERSTON NORTH, AND IT FIRES OUT 17,000 LITRES A MINUTE. OK. SO WHAT COULD GO WRONG? WHAT'S THE WORST THING THAT CAN HAPPEN IN THIS SITUATION? COS IT LOOKS` IT LOOKS SCARY TO ME. (LAUGHS) WHAT'S THE WORST THING THAT CAN GO WRONG? UM, THE TRUCK COULD GO ON FIRE. RIGHT. OK. BUT YOU WERE CONFIDENT THAT WASN'T GONNA HAPPEN? IT WOULDN'T HAPPEN, NO. OK. HEY, TORI, SO, DO YOU WANNA BE A STUNTWOMAN, DO YOU? HAS THIS GIVEN YOU A BIT OF A THIRST FOR SOMETHING MORE? YEAH, DEFINITELY. RIGHT. SO WHAT DO YOU WANNA DO FROM NOW? UM, I DUNNO. CONTINUE ON WITH SMALL STUNT SHOWS, AND EVENTUALLY GET BIGGER, GET OUT THERE MORE. RIGHT. YOU WEREN'T JUST A LITTLE, TINY, WEE BIT FRIGHTENED OR SCARED, THINKING THIS COULD ALL GO WRONG? WAS THERE ANY SORT OF DOUBT IN YOUR MIND? NO. I MEAN, WHEN WE WENT THROUGH THE FIRE WALLS, THERE WAS ONLY A FEW PIECES OF WOOD THAT GOT BURNT. LIKE, THIS IS PROBABLY THE WORST ONE THAT GOT BURNT, AND JUST A COUPLE OF BITS IN THERE, AND EVEN THEN, THIS ONE WAS A BIT MOULDY. RIGHT. OK. IT'S PRETTY` ONLY` THE WOOD WAS ONLY REALLY SINGED, SO IT WASN'T THAT BAD. OK. DID YOU FEEL HEAT, I MEAN, WITH THAT SUIT ON? DID YOU FEEL ANYTHING? OH YEAH, I DEFINITELY FELT THE HEAT. (CHUCKLES) YEAH, OK. HEY, GOOD LUCK, ANYWAY. GOOD LUCK WITH THE FUTURE. I THINK WE MIGHT BE SEEING A LITTLE BIT MORE OF YOU. AND, DON, APPRECIATE YOU FRONTING UP THIS EVENING FOR US. UH, STILL TO COME ON THE SHOW TONIGHT ` WHAT TO DO AND WHAT NOT TO DO. HEATHER GETS A ROYAL REFRESHER. AND GIVING A HAND ` IN THIS CASE ` LOOK AT THIS ` A BIONIC ONE. WHAT DO YOU RECKON? NO, HE SHOULDN'T. HE'S JUST SUCH A GOOD PLAYER. HE SHOULD BE STILL ON. YOU'D LIKE HIM TO STAY ON? YEAH. WELL, I SAY YES AND NO. BUT I THINK HE SHOULD REALLY RETIRE NOW TO STAY ON THE TOP AND GO OUT IN A GOOD WAY. SO GO OUT ON TOP? YEP. NO, HE SHOULDN'T RETIRE. I THINK HE SHOULD CARRY ON, GO FOR THE LIONS TEST AND THEN MAYBE THINK ABOUT IT. ANYTHING ELSE? GO THROUGH TO 2017? YES, I THINK SO. I MEAN, IF HE'S STILL FIT AND ACTIVE AND ENJOYS THE GAME. LIKE HE SAID, HE DOESN'T WANNA RETIRE. SO GOOD ON HIM. HE'S SO GOOD. HE'S BEEN SO GOOD FOR A LONG TIME. IF HE WANTS TO HANG AROUND FOR ANOTHER COUPLE OF YEARS, WOULD BE NICE FOR HIM TO GET 150. I THINK HE SHOULD GET TO 150, AND THEN HE CAN DO WHAT HE LIKES. BUT, REALLY, HE'S DONE SO WELL, IT'S UP TO HIM, YOU KNOW? HE WANTS HIM TO GO THROUGH TILL THEY'RE 40. (LAUGHS) AH, SOME GOOD GUYS DOWN THERE. THAT WAS STEVE DEVINE, FORMER ALL BLACK AND BLUES HALFBACK COUPLE BACK THERE. HEY, YOU MIGHT HAVE MISSED IT TODAY, AND YOU'D BE FORGIVEN FOR MISSING IT, I THINK, BUT THERE'S A ROYAL TOUR ON HERE RIGHT NOW. THE PRINCE OF WALES AND THE DUCHESS OF CORNWALL, THEY FLEW INTO A STINKER, A SHOCKING WELLINGTON DAY TODAY, AND THEY HAVE JUST FINISHED A VERY EXCLUSIVE MEET AND GREET AT GOVERNMENT HOUSE. AND WHO DID THEY GET TO MEET? I THINK HEATHER DU PLESSIS-ALLAN IS THERE. HELLO, HEATHER. YOU'RE THERE. YES. (CHUCKLES) HI, DUNCS. HEY, SO, WHEN THE BOSSES TELL YOU THAT YOU'RE GOING TO GO AND MEET THE ROYALS, IT` YOU KNOW, IT CAN BE A LITTLE BIT NERVE-WRACKING. IT'S NOT REALLY SOMETHING THAT YOU DO EVERY DAY. SO I WAS AWARE THAT YOU'RE NOT S'POSED` THERE ARE LOTS OF THINGS YOU'RE NOT S'POSED TO DO, LIKE, YOU'RE NOT S'POSED TO GRAB THEIR HAND AND SHAKE IT. YOU'RE JUST S'POSED` DON'T PUMP IT. JUST SORT OF HOLD, IF YOU LIKE. AND THERE ARE CERTAIN TITLES YOU HAVE TO USE, DEPENDING ON WHERE THEY'RE FROM, YOU KNOW, OR WHAT RANK THEY ARE. SO I BRIEFLY FLIRTED WITH CALLING CAMILLA 'YOUR GRACE', UH, BECAUSE SHE'S A DUCHESS, BUT THEN FOUND OUT` I KNOW, IT SOUNDS RIDICULOUS, RIGHT? IT SOUNDS LIKE 'GAME OF THRONES'. BUT THEN I FOUND OUT BECAUSE SHE'S MARRIED TO A PRINCE, YOU HAVE TO USE 'YOUR ROYAL HIGHNESS' AND THEREAFTER 'MA'AM', AND IT'S NOT MA'AM, IT'S MA'AM. AND, OH GOSH, IT JUST WENT ON AND ON. SO I WAS REALLY NERVOUS ABOUT IT, SO I WENT AND GOT SOME ADVICE ON WHAT TO DO AND WHAT NOT TO DO. TAKE A LOOK. UPBEAT MUSIC HANDSHAKING ` IT'S THE ONE TIME ` THE ONLY TIME ` YOU WILL BE ALLOWED TO TOUCH. NO. NEVER. NO. EVER. SOMEONE SHOULD'VE TOLD MICHELLE OBAMA BEFORE THIS AWKWARDNESS HAPPENED. YOU DO NOT TOUCH. EVEN THOUGH YOU FEEL LIKE YOU KNOW HER, COS SHE'S BEEN AROUND YOUR WHOLE LIFE? DOESN'T MATTER, DARLING. SHE'S NOT YOURS. DON'T LET PRINCE HARRY'S BROMANCING WITH THE AB'S FOOL YOU. # YO, I'LL TELL YOU WHAT I WANT, WHAT I REALLY REALLY WANT. THIS IS NOT OK. THIS IS NOT OK EITHER. # TELL ME WHAT YOU WANT, WHAT YOU REALLY REALLY WANT. TOUCHING CHARLES' BOTTOM IS NOT OK. # ALL I REALLY, REALLY, REALLY WANT, A ZIGAZIG, AH. # CHARLES IS READY FOR ANYTHING AFTER THE SPICE GIRLS, ISN'T HE? ONE WOULD'VE THOUGHT. PANTS. APPROPRIATE? NOT QUITE THAT LITTLE ENSEMBLE, DARLING. NOT FOR TONIGHT. (LAUGHS) BUT, HEY, EVEN THOUGH HELEN GOT A RIGHT TELLING OFF FOR WEARING TROUSERS, THEY ARE NOW OK TO WEAR. AS A COLONY, WHAT WE ALL GREW UP WITH, ALL THESE RULES THAT BELONG TO ENGLAND, BUT THEY DON'T BELONG TO US NOW. HATS ARE OPTIONAL, ALTHOUGH NOT TO BE WORN LIKE, AND I QUOTE, ANNIE OAKLEY. OK, WHAT ABOUT SLEEVELESS DRESSES? ON A GORGEOUS HOT DAY. WHAT'S WRONG WITH THAT? YEAH? YES. WE'RE NOT IN THE MIDDLE EASTERN COUNTRIES WHERE YOU'VE GOTTA COVER YOURSELF UP. WE ARE FREE TO WEAR WHAT WE WANT TO WEAR. YOU JUST TAKE A LITTLE STEP TO ONE SIDE, TO THE RIGHT. YOU SLIDE YOUR FOOT OVER BEHIND IT, AND THEN YOU JUST VERY SOFTLY DO A LITTLE BOW AND JUST TILT YOUR HEAD. IT IS A BIT FUDDY-DUDDY. THAT'S PROBABLY WHY CANADA'S PIERRE TRUDEAU ONCE TOOK THE MICKEY BEHIND THE QUEEN'S BACK. INTERESTINGLY, AMERICANS DON'T HAVE TO CURTSY. IF YOU'RE FROM AMERICA, YOU DON'T HAVE TO CURTSY, BECAUSE SHE'S NOT YOUR` THE QUEEN IS NOT YOUR HEAD OF STATE. # LET ME SEE YOU NOD YOUR HEAD LIKE THIS. BUT THE QUEEN IS OUR HEAD OF STATE, SO, GUYS,... # KNOD YOUR HEAD, COME ON. # LADIES, DO THE CURTSY. YOU HAVE IT IN YOUR DIARY ` HOW TO CURTSY. FINALLY ` SMALL TALK ONLY, PLEASE. AM I ALLOWED TO ASK CHARLES, DO YOU THINK, ABOUT HOW HIS MUM'S DOING? NO. HOW HIS BOYS ARE DOING? NO. IT'S ALL PERSONAL. CAN I NOT ASK HIM WHICH OF THESE ARE HIS FAVOURITE FLAGS? (SIGHS) I DON'T THINK SO. OH, GREAT PIECE. HEY, HEATHER, SO, DID YOU CURTSY? I MEAN, WHAT DID YOU DO HERE? AND WHAT ABOUT THE GRIP, YOU KNOW, THE HOLD ON THE HANDSHAKE? SO, I DIDN'T CURTSY, BECAUSE NOBODY ELSE CURTSIED, AND SO I THOUGHT, 'OOH, I'M GONNA LOOK LIKE A BIT OF A FOOL IF I DO THIS.' AND APPARENTLY IT'S JUST KIND OF GOING OUT SLIGHTLY. PEOPLE JUST DON'T DO THAT ANY MORE. AND I ACTUALLY FOLLOWED THE ADVICE AND DIDN'T PUMP MY HAND, BUT CHARLES PUMPED MY HAND, SO I GOT A BIT OF A GOOD MAN HANDSHAKE FROM HIM, WHICH I WAS PRETTY PLEASED ABOUT. NOW, AS I WAS TELLING YOU, YOU'RE NOT ACTUALLY` WE WEREN'T ACTUALLY S'POSED TO BE ABLE TO BROADCAST THAT WE'D HAD THIS MEETING. IT'S FOR JOURNALISTS ONLY, AND IT'S KIND OF JUST TO` A BIT OF A` JUST TO HAVE A BIT OF A CHAT. I MEAN, THE CHAT IS OVER IN ABOUT TWO MINUTES. BUT IT'S KIND OF, YOU KNOW, QUITE TIGHTLY CONTROLLED. SO I NEGOTIATED WITH CLARENCE HOUSE, WHO I REALLY DECENT ABOUT IT, COS VIRTUALLY MEDIA FROM ALL OVER NZ, ALL THE BIG BROADCASTERS AND WHATNOT WERE THERE. SO, UM, THEY SAID WE COULD TELL YOU A LITTLE BIT ABOUT IT. WHAT I'M ALLOWED TO TELL YOU IS ONLY THAT PRINCE CHARLES TALKED TO ME ABOUT DIGITAL MEDIA AND SOCIAL MEDIA. WHICH HE OBVIOUSLY HAS AN INTEREST IN. I'M NOT ALLOWED TO TELL YOU IF THE BEE VENOM IS WORKING ON THE DUCHESS' FACE. I'M NOT ALLOWED TO TELL YOU IF PRINCE CHARLES WEARS PANTS EXACTLY LIKE WINSTON PETERS. NONE OF THAT. NOT ALLOWED TO SAY ANYTHING. OK. NOW, WHAT ABOUT, YOU KNOW, WHEN YOU SPOKE TO HIM, DID YOU BRING UP THE FLAG IN ANY WAY? COS I KNOW YOU'RE A BIT SNEAKY, SO YOU MIGHT'VE DONE THAT. BUT, GOSH, I WAS TEMPTED, BECAUSE I THOUGHT, 'GOODNESS, HE PROBABLY` HE MUST BE WATCHING THIS.' I MEAN, HE MUST LOOK AT SOME OF THE THINGS, LIKE THE FLAG THAT LOOKS LIKE A MONKEY'S BUM, AND HE MUST HAVE A BIT OF A GIGGLE. I'M SURE THAT THEY'RE REMOTELY, YOU KNOW, JUST A LITTLE BIT INTERESTED. DON'T YOU THINK? HEY, JUST VERY QUICKLY ` WERE THEY WARM? I MEAN, WERE THEY NICE TO SPEAK TO? YES. WELL, THEY WERE FAR WARMER THAN I AM RIGHT NOW, I CAN TELL YOU THAT. (LAUGHS) I'M JUST` YOU KNOW WHAT, I'M JUST GONNA LEAVE THIS HERE, AND WE'RE JUST ALL GONNA HAVE TO DEAL WITH IT. THEY WERE LOVELY, AND I THOUGHT THEY WERE LOVELY. YEAH, I'M GONNA SEE YOU TOMORROW. YOU GO AND GET WARM. YOU GO HOME. I'M JUST GONNA GO. YEAH, YOU GO, AND I'LL SEE YOU BACK IN THE STUDIO TOMORROW. ISN'T SHE GOOD? ALL RIGHT, STILL TO COME ` A PRETTY AMAZING KIWI INVENTION ` THE BIONIC HANDS THAT A GISBORNE MAN IS PLANNING TO GIVE AWAY TO THOSE WHO NEED THEM. WHO SHOULD GET KNIGHTHOODS IN THE ALL BLACKS? OH, LOOK, JUST GIVE IT TO ALL OF THEM. ALL OF THEM?! YEAH, JUST ALL OF THEM. SO GIVE AWAY 30-ODD KNIGHTHOODS? YEAH, I SAY THAT. YEAH. THAT SOUNDS LIKE THE PLAN TO ME. AND ONE FOR ME. IF YOU WERE THE PRIME MINISTER HANDING OUT KNIGHTHOODS, OR THE QUEEN, YOU'D GIVE 'EM TO THEM ALL? I WOULD, YEAH. (LAUGHS) YEAH, THE WHOLE TEAM. MAYBE` MAYBE THE CENTURIONS. I MEAN, THEY'VE DEDICATED THEMSELVES FOR A LONG TIME TO THIS TEAM. ALL OF THEM HAVE WON TWO WORLD CUPS NOW. WHO SHOULD GET KNIGHTHOODS IN THE ALL BLACKS? OH, I RECKON STEVE HANSEN SHOULD YEAH. AND MAYBE 10 YEARS FROM NOW, RICHIE. 10 YEARS FOR RICHIE?! WELL, HE` HE TURNED IT DOWN. SO YOU THINK HE SHOULD WAIT? YEAH. OK. AND WHAT ABOUT DAN CARTER? DAN CARTER? YEAH. SHOULD HE WAIT 10 YEARS TOO? NAH, PROBABLY ABOUT FIVE. FIVE YEARS. SO WAIT FIVE YEARS FOR CARTER, 10 YEARS FOR RICHIE. WHAT ABOUT CONRAD AND MA'A? YEAH. WELL, NOT EVERYONE IN THE ALL BLACKS CAN GET KNIGHTED, EVEN THOUGH THEY'RE AWESOME. OK. WELL, YOU'RE A GOOD LITTLE MAN. I APPRECIATE YOUR TIME, BUDDY. THANK YOU. OK, CHEERS. MAKING IT UP ON THE HOOF MAYBE. HEY, NOW, THIS NEXT STORY IS ALL ABOUT KIWI INGENUITY. IT INVOLVES GISBORNE INVENTOR DAVE DRUMMOND. NOW, HE'S DEVELOPING BIONIC ARMS THAT HE WANTS TO GIVE AWAY TO AMPUTEES FOR FREE. IT'S A LOFTY GOAL, BUT HE ALREADY HAS A PROTOTYPE AND SOMEONE WHO NEEDS HIS FIRST ARTIFICIAL ARM. HE'S A BUSY BOY TODAY. HERE'S MIKE WESLEY-SMITH. IN GISBORNE, YOU'LL FIND PLENTY OF HANDS ` FRIENDLY HANDS, USED HANDS, HELPING HANDS AND NOW BIONIC HANDS. OK. SO, WE'RE HERE IN GISBORNE, AND BELIEVE IT OR NOT, THE FUTURE IS HAPPENING RIGHT BEHIND THIS DOOR. SPACEY MUSIC BOB. GIDDAY. GREAT TO SEE YOU, MATE. OH, THANKS FOR HAVING US. OK, SO, LET'S FIRST INTRODUCE YOU TO BOB. WHAT DO YOU CALL THAT? UH, THAT'S BOB. THAT'S RIGHT. BOB'S AN ARTIFICIAL HAND, AND THIS IS DAVE DRUMMOND, A GISBORNE INVENTOR WHO HAD A DREAM PRINTED IN 3D TO MAKE HIS OWN BIONIC ARM. RIGHT NOW WE'RE MAKING AN INDEX FINGER FOR A LEFT HAND` UH, INDEX FINGER AND DRIVE GEAR TO DRIVE THAT INDEX FINGER. DAVE PRINTED BOB IN JUST UNDER 48 HOURS, USING A DESIGN HE FOUND ONLINE. IT COSTS AROUND 1000 BUCKS TO MAKE, CAN LIFT LOADS UP TO 10KG AND HAS ENOUGH BATTERY LIFE FOR SEVEN HOURS' USE. AND THEN WITH THE THUMB AND THE OTHER FINGERS, WE CAN MAKE A FIST AND GRAB THINGS WITH IT. DAVE'S ENHANCED THE ORIGINAL PROTOTYPE BY INSTALLING A COMPUTER IN THE ARM THAT YOU CAN USE TO SURF THE NET. EVENTUALLY, HE HOPES TO HAVE USERS CONTROL THE ARM USING THEIR NERVOUS SYSTEM. BUT FOR NOW,... WE'RE INTEGRATING TOUCH SENSORS INTO THE FINGERS SO THAT THEY CAN TOUCH SOMETHING WITH THE HAND AND IT WILL AUTOMATICALLY GRIP. AND IT TURNS OUT BOB'S ALSO RATHER POLITE. YOU CAN SEE WHEN I CLOSE THE FIST HERE, ALL THREE FINGERS MOVE AT THE SAME TIME. SO THERE'LL BE NO FLICKING ANYBODY OFF WITH IT. (LAUGHS) NOW, DAVE'S IN NO NEED FOR AN EXTRA ARM HIMSELF. NOT AT ALL. AND HE AND WIFE PAIGE ARE PRETTY GOOD AT MAKING NATURAL ONES LIKE THOSE FOR HIS SON. (BABBLES) WHOO-HOO! (LAUGHS) WELL, HERE'S DAVE'S GOAL ` HE WANTS TO GIVE THESE ARMS AWAY FOR FREE TO AMPUTEES. I'M HERE TO SHARE WITH YOU MY STORY, MY PASSION AND MY DREAM. HE AND PROJECT PARTNER DR HONG, A GISBORNE PHYSICIAN, HAVE STARTED GIVEAHAND, A CHARITY TO RAISE MONEY FOR THE PROJECT. WHO'S GONNA BE THE FIRST RECIPIENT? OK, THAT'S ICHI ` ICHI THE. WHEN I RECEIVED THE NEWS, I'M JUST, AS I SAY, OVERWHELMED. THIS IS ICHI THE, A 26-YEAR-OLD DESIGNER FROM MALAYSIA WHOSE AUNTIE KNEW DR HONG. SHE'S AGREED TO BE DAVE'S FIRST BIONIC ARM RECIPIENT, HAVING LIVED ALL HER LIFE WITHOUT A LEFT HAND. I REALLY DON'T LIKE TO TROUBLE PEOPLE TO HELP ME, EVEN WITH MY WATCH AND SHOELACES. YEAH, SO, SOMETIMES I JUST, 'OK, IT'S FINE. I'LL JUST DO IT MYSELF.' DAVE'S PLANNING TO USE SOME OF THE MONEY RAISED TO FLY ICHI TO NZ LATER THIS YEAR. WE DON'T WANT TO OVERPROMISE, UNDERDELIVER, SO ICHI KINDA FIT THE BILL. SHE'S VERY POSITIVE. AND SHE'S VERY OPEN TO THE FACT THAT IT IS UNPROVEN CONCEPT. IT'S A CONCEPT THAT STILL HAS A FEW KINKS TO BE WORKED THROUGH. BUT DAVE SAYS EVERYTHING'S ON SCHEDULE. HAS IS EVER GONE CRAZY AT YOU? HAS IT EVER TRIED TO STRANGLE YOU OR ANYTHING? UH, NO, NO. IT'S, UM` IT'S ACTUALLY` BOB'S PRETTY WELL BEHAVED. AND WHILE IT'S EARLY DAYS, ICHI IS EXCITED AT THE OPPORTUNITIES A SECOND HAND MIGHT BRING. THE BIONIC ARM THAT DAVID HAVE IS ACTUALLY VERY` I WILL SAY VERY ORGANIC LOOKING, VERY` I IMAGINE VERY STORMTROOPER LOOKING, WHICH IS VERY COOL. IT'S THEM. BLAST THEM. IF GIVEAHAND'S FUTURE LOOKS ANYTHING LIKE THAT GALAXY FAR, FAR AWAY,... IT SHOULD BE PRETTY COOL. DAVE'S PROJECT'S ALREADY ATTRACTED INTEREST FROM ORTHOPAEDIC SURGEONS OVERSEAS, AND HE HOPES TO HELP MORE PEOPLE LIKE ICHI. OH, IT'S JUST VERY VERY NOBLE, VERY VERY` UM, I'M VERY GRATEFUL TO HAVE THEM IN THIS WORLD TO HELP PEOPLE LIKE US. THEY'RE REALLY GREAT PEOPLE TO HAVE THIS KIND OF MISSION AND VISION. WE HAVE SOME SERIOUSLY TALENTED NZERS, DON'T WE? HEY, FINALLY TONIGHT, WE WILL LEAVE YOU WITH ONE MORE LOOK AT THE SIGHTS AND SOUNDS FROM THE ALL BLACKS' WELCOME HOME EVENT TODAY. ONE OBSERVATION FROM ME ` I WENT DOWN THERE; I ATTENDED THE EVENT TODAY. THESE BLOKES, THEY ARE GENUINELY HUMBLE MEN. DAN CARTER` NO ONE'S MORE HUMBLE THAN DAN CARTER AND RICHIE MCCAW. I REALLY NOTICED THAT TODAY. CHRISTCHURCH, YOU ENJOY YOUR DAY WITH THEM TOMORROW. YOU DESERVE IT. HEATHER IS BACK WITH ME AT 7 O'CLOCK TOMORROW. THOSE WERE YOUR STORIES TODAY, AND THAT OF COURSE IS 'STORY' TONIGHT. WILL SMITH'S 'MEN IN BLACK' ALL CHANT HAKA CHEERING WILD CHEERING ANNOUNCER: RICHIE MCCAW! CHEERING CROWD: YEAH! WHOO-HOO!
