2:20 Epic Cat Trip - Bernie Endres
It's got all the elements of an epic movie script: this is the Unexpected Journey of Squids the Burmese cat. She's been missing from her Hamilton for 3 months. Squids had been on an epic road trip... she was found on Waiheke Island almost 150km away from home. She was lucky enough to have been found by a kind soul who took her to the SPCA, whICH doesn't usually keep cats for more than 7 days. After a series of unexpected twists and turns, Squids has been reunited with her family in Hamilton.
2:30 Reading - In 1912, three men driving from Wellington to Auckland in a Model-T car were hoping to reach Taumarunui on the night of the second day out from wellington.

The sad story of the crashed air force Iroquois as the story comes out now about how they were trying to save money. Do we need to give pedestrians a better deal? We'll report from the red carpet for the Hobbit premiere, and Russell Brand the comedian also premieres his show tonight in Auckland. Is he right about our country's drug-taking?
