This program was brought to you by the number one vehicle company in Australia, Toyota.
Next Friday for the first time on television...
Scary, scary. Don't we look mean.
An epic adventure of war and peace.
She's got both those thoughts.
Disgusting. Let's hack her to pieces.
Of heroes...
Why didn't you come up by the stairs?
...and villains.
Throw down your weapons or we kill the children.
Well, now we'll kill the children anyway.
John Cleese stars in this bold voyage.
She wants to take us on the edge of the world.
There is no edge of the world.
Toyota presents Eric the Viking next Friday on 7.

This program proudly brought to you by Nike and Evian Natural Springwater.
Thank you.
Thanks, guys. Thanks so much.
And welcome to another Friday Night End Tonight Live.
And it is, of course, Valentine's Day.
Hey.
Oh.
It's a bit like that.
Named after, of course, St. Valentine, the patron saint of florists.
And it's a bit like that.
And sAh, it's changed France, but I mean, this turned out great.
And it's like that.
Oh, Group B.
Like I said.
Good vibes, right?
And thank you.
And then of course,
Last but not least at the end of the day Inc Sick from St. trust.
I'm sorry.
And this is amazing.
All right, folks.
and the stinking weather. What kind of weather is this? How'd you like to be up in Sydney
where they got belted by hailstones the size of hailstones?
And a big hi to all those people who took their holidays in February when the rest of us took it in January.
You know all those people who are going, oh yes we're taking our holidays in February
because of course it's after the school holidays, lot quieter, the weather's beautiful.
Ha ha bloody ha!
I put buckets down on you.
Now speaking of comedy, I think it always tends to send your mind towards the Victorian Government
and always good for a laugh, aren't they?
We're still reeling here in Victoria from the thought that 23,000 students have nowhere to go after passing.
Look, is it just me or am I the only one thinking why was this a surprise?
I mean it's not like these students have come from nowhere.
They knew they were doing year 12.
You know it's like yeah they're doing year 12. What they've all finished?
Oh god.
Ah, so that would mean we've got no places for them.
Oh I knew there was another step.
It is so embarrassing isn't it? Couldn't the Government at least pretend they had a plan?
This hopeless sort of, oh jeez I don't know it's all news to me.
If I can't say it they keep running around screaming the sky is falling, the sky is falling one more time.
But mind you we shouldn't laugh, but we will hopefully.
Because they have unveiled their master plan.
Yes the Victorian State Government unveiled the master plan and it's beautiful, beautiful plan.
Simple yet elegant in its complexity.
Basically all it is, we're in debt, we're in Stook Street, we get someone to give us a lot of money.
Why didn't we think of that?
Such a good idea from the Kermit Government.
Nah that's it, that'll get us out of it.
You give us a check for three bill.
Three billion? Like yeah I can see Paul Keating doing it.
Can you imagine it's along the lines of, um Dad I've stacked the car can I have another one?
Yeah no worries son, yeah get yourself a nice thing.
Can you imagine John Koenigar out there going, please sir I want some more.
More?
Speaking of Paul Keating, has anyone actually seen Paul Keating lately?
Where is he? Thank you it was rhetorical. Where is he?
I can't believe it we've had more confirmed sightings of Elvis than we have of the Prime Minister.
How long, how long can you stand in front of an open window going, mine, all mine?
Before you finally get out and actually do something.
I can't wait, the tension. When's he going to mount up and ride I keep thinking.
When's he going to get rolling? Compass is back.
Excited by that. Don't you feel good about that? Compass looks like it's coming back.
They managed to knock off a couple of old anset jets. They're spraying them one in the clock back.
Goodness do.
Just as well too, I thought that AAA airline, I'm sure it'll be fine but it sounds dodgy at the start doesn't it?
AAA airline, I mean they don't have any runways, they've got no planes, they're already in debt, they're run by Victorians I guess.
And they've got three pilots who currently are just standing there doing this a lot.
Sure on paper it looks bad but they have the largest hang glider air force in the known world.
You can glide down and look at the plus side, they've got no overheads, tickets are bound to be cheap.
It's got to be a plus, you can't use them for anything but that's standard procedure.
What else has been excitingly happening in this?
Well I guess it would have occurred to all of you, you would have seen this.
The Japanese in the news once again, whaling this time down in Antarctica.
Now before you get aggro, because I sensed you were about to, thank you.
The Japanese are purely doing scientific experiments down there with the whales.
They're just testing how harpoons work.
And there's a bit of a symposium going to see how many slices of whale meat you can get per serve.
This is all necessary stuff.
But for mine the big one happened today.
Did you see this?
A Japanese tanker ran aground on a sandbar off Western Australia.
And you know that was no accident, they were led there by whales.
It's their crack anti-terrorist squad in operation.
Yes, score one for the whales, yes!
That's great.
Now we have a thrill-packed show for you tonight.
We're going to the Desperate and Dateless Ball.
We've got Steve Monaghetty, the world champion inter-chat.
We're also going to be doing lots of viewer faxes.
And we've got Ian Moss playing.
Plus, controversially, we have Fat Cat here live in the studio.
Yes, that's right.
The one they thought they were rid of, he's going to spill his guts for us tonight.
In a visual kind of way.
But first, with the latest headlines, here is Naomi Robson.
Good evening everyone.
And just when things look bleak for Compass Airlines,
New Flyers Southern Cross have stepped in with a merger offer.
Compass and many of its staff could be back in the air within three months.
Nearly two months after the grounding of Compass,
the emergence of a white knight, the first real hope of a rescue deal.
We're pleased to advise that Southern Cross Airlines has made an offer to us
to merge their company with the activities of the Compass Airlines and Compass Holdings Group.
Southern Cross has to raise $60 million to take over 75% of Compass.
It hopes to lift off in three months.
Cheers Australia! We're back.
We did it!
Friends of Compass wasted no time cracking open the champagne.
Southern Cross has signed an important deal with American Airlines
to provide funding and ground services.
Iceman James Scott is under guard in Brisbane's Royal Hospital tonight.
The Himalayan Trekkers homecoming sparked a security bun fight
and anger over the use of police and other government facilities.
A blanket shielding the seriously ill medical student from prior media rise,
James Scott and his two-person medical team were offloaded into a waiting fleet of ambulances.
Under police escort he was rushed through red lights often on the wrong side of the road
to the Royal Brisbane Hospital.
Inside doctors said James is now out of danger.
I think he was subjected to intense tribation.
I must say that it's a miraculous recovery.
But outside it was the media who were at risk from protective hospital security.
Don't start on me pal.
What's your name?
Large.
Bastard.
And tonight a lot of Queenslanders want to know why government agencies
like the police and ambulance services gave one man such VIP treatment.
Especially his high-speed dash to hospital which is normally reserved for the critically ill.
I have no knowledge that that occurred and if it did and if it was inappropriate
I will have it looked at, yes.
Four men appeared in a Sydney court today over a $50 million heroin seizure.
The high-grade heroin in 25 one kilogram bags was allegedly found inside two cars
which federal police had under surveillance.
Two men from Sydney and two from Hong Kong have been charged with possessing a prohibited import.
The maximum penalty is life imprisonment.
Across the continent police believe they found their state's first act of eco-terrorism
in forests south of Perth.
They're blaming radical green groups for dozens of metal spikes driven into tree trunks.
A lethal trap when loggers try to fell the trees with chainsaws.
And a judge today accused a dozen Melbourne police of a cover-up.
Their crime arriving late for court.
Last Friday the prison transfer service turned up with their inmate at the usual time of 10am.
Unfortunately, Morewell Judge Mullaley launched into his morning session at 9.30 sharp.
Today all 12 officers responsible from the commander down were summons to apologise.
No one had bothered to read the jail order which clearly set out the early time.
And finally a story for the pampered pets file.
Candyman will be a cut above the rest of the horses at tomorrow's gymkhana
thanks to an Adelaide Hills hairdresser.
The salon hasn't tackled a main before.
Some of their regular customers aren't too sure about the new service.
I don't want to get my hair cut there.
But trimmed, teased and tinted Candyman took it all in his stride.
I don't think I'll be having my hair cut there either.
And that's all our news.
Richard, I believe you're about to become a father.
Well, yeah.
Any second now, isn't it?
Well, yeah, basically. See, hi Deb. Deb's due now.
And so I've got, this is quite real, I've got the pager.
So if it goes off, Naomi, you've got the gig.
As an official member of the B team, you get to run with the ball.
If the beeper goes, I'm out.
Not a problem. I'm not nervous though, that's a good thing.
Now look, we've got something special that came up.
Now before I do it, let me introduce Count Paul Grabowski and the Group Maddox, ladies and gentlemen.
Yeah, right, all right, all right. That's plenty, that's plenty.
Don't, don't. That's plenty, you'll just milk it.
Now the bizarre thing is the Archibald Prize went up today.
And nothing bizarre about that.
It was won by a painting of Paul Keating, which is a bit sad really.
That's where he was.
Yeah, yeah, I guess. He's been posing for that all these months.
But it's silly to have that the winner, because you know, you can only see it during the week.
Weekends they want it back at the ghost train.
But the, but the runner-up, get this, was a painting of none other, Count Paul Grabowski.
Can you believe this?
Count, this is special. How did you get to be a, what do they call it?
A settee.
A settee, thank you. Good name for the Archibald Prize.
Well, I happen to know the painter. He's the father of a musician who I play with.
And he wanted to paint me for the Archibald.
Oh, couldn't you have worn a frock or something? What is that?
What are you wearing there? What is it, your bathrobe?
Yeah, it is actually.
Oh, Paul, really.
See, I wonder if it'll be like the Mona Lisa in years to come, they'll wonder what you were thinking about.
As indeed, do we think that about the painter come to think of it?
Possibly nursing a hangover.
Hey, listen, whereabouts are the groupmatics off playing somewhere, or are you off playing somewhere?
I'm in Kiama and Wollongong over the weekend.
Are you going to be playing or just a bit of fruit picking?
I'm playing in Kiama tomorrow night and Wollongong Sunday.
Excellent. Excellent. So, all those people...
Oh, look, gosh, there happen to be the dates.
However, did they get there?
I've got to stop letting him go into the director's area.
Take them off. Take them off.
We've got lots to do, so we'll get on with it.
If you've got any faxes you'd like to send him for Valentine's Day, do it right now.
Quickly, here's the number in front of you right there.
You can read, so jot it down.
Send me a Valentine's Day type fax.
We'll go away. When we come back, all sorts of stuff.
Fat Cat, Patsy Biscoe here, live. This is live.
Thank you.
You've probably worn things like our new running shoes before.
You've probably worn them around your feet.
Tarachi by Nike.
They gave you the world's prettiest woman.
Oh! Ha ha ha!
Funniest disc chompy.
And happiest three men and a baby.
Now all Australia is laughing at and loving Steve Martin as father of the bride.
Relaxed, sophisticated, and oh, so subtle.
Drive carefully and don't forget to fasten your condom.
Dad!
Father of the Bride, Australia's number one comedy hit.
Spectacular, isn't it?
Yep. Pretty one day it may be gone.
What do you mean gone?
They'll have to build a dam here if people keep wasting water.
Well, why don't they tell them to stop?
They tried that. Some people never listen.
Of course, if everyone started using less water right now,
we could save hundreds of millions of dollars as well as this valley.
Would you reckon they would?
Of course I... They would.
Don't be a wally with water.
It's the summer of 92 and Nissan dealers have really turned up the heat on the last of their 91 stock.
It's your last chance to grab a hot deal on New Ventura.
Price is right. Hard even better.
Too hot to miss, so hurry.
Bevels will give you an extra 10% off everything.
That's all marked prices, even sale items.
Everything can be purchased on a no deposit lay-by, but only until 5pm Saturday and only at Bevels.
Beautiful things, better prices.
Violent Femmes, the band that charmed crowds worldwide with their live shows,
held music lovers entranced through five albums, including their latest album, Why Do Birds Sing.
They're like a mackerel music, they never heard of mackerel music.
They're in all the music, sleep my soul.
Violent Femmes, see them live across Australia this summer and look for the bonus tour CD of Why Do Birds Sing.
Don't miss it.
Oh hi darling, I thought I was going to miss you.
Completely forgot about that late uni lecture, remember?
Anyway, Gina's picking me up and I'm late as usual, but I haven't started dinner.
Rissoles, you know those new beef ones? Why don't you do them on the barbie?
Those are basil and parmesan and those are for the kids.
Oh, this Gina, oh there's some veggies in the fridge.
Better go. Won't be home too late.
Hey, see you around, I hope you know what.
Anyone can play this game.
Hope you're doing this at home.
The Generation Game, where anything can happen, 7.30 Saturday on 7.
Welcome back.
Now, the sudden axing of a national television star has prompted tonight's top seven.
Yes, it is in fact the top seven comments heard when Fat Cat got the axe.
Number seven.
Hey Fat Cat, it's from Agro, he's giving you the address of a vile industry factory.
It's a cruel industry, isn't it?
Number six, but he's irreplaceable, no other TV presenter can lick themselves all over.
So many lines, so many lawsuits.
Number five, great, we've finally found an opening for television for Hawkeye,
but I think he might scare the kids.
Number four, bloody Gerald Stoney won't work with anyone who's got whiskers.
Darren, how are you?
Number three, my personal favourite, there was a dispute over the clause in his contract.
It was my favourite, I never said it was funny.
Number two, it's his own fault he refused to sign the nudity clause.
And the top comment heard when Fat Cat got the axe.
It's just that 9.30 in the morning is a bit early to watch someone cough up furball.
Yes, this week did send shockwaves throughout the television industry
when the Great Cat flap door closed for the last time behind a popular furry TV character.
Would you please now give a warm welcome to Fat Cat and friend, Patchy Bisco.
Ladies and gentlemen, Patchy Bisco.
Thank you.
What is this?
Take a seat.
No, settle, settle, please.
I understand it's an emotional time and...
Yes, quite frankly, we're looking at a broken cat, ladies and gentlemen.
Patchy, welcome.
Thanks.
Thanks for being here.
We're on a first-name basis, I feel we can.
Fat, if I could just go right into one of the subjects that's caused a lot of controversy about this whole thing.
Do you feel in yourself that this whole sacking is a manoeuvre by the anti-pants lobby?
Because I just happen to note that almost every other children's character doesn't actually wear pants.
And I wondered if...
Yeah.
All right, I was thinking of him.
Do you think, Fat, that it's got something to do with the fact that you've got pants and they haven't and they're jealous of it?
Yeah, I felt that.
Patchy, your thoughts on this one?
Well, it was said, how come Humphrey's still on air and he doesn't even wear pants?
So you're right.
Fat did say that, didn't he, before?
It's open there.
It's a lederhosen thing.
But you've been replaced by...
It's a kind of friendly show run on a first-name basis.
Excuse me, he's calling me Fat.
You've been replaced by the worm.
How does that feel?
Speechless?
Have you got any...
Fat's choked.
Patchy, has he been?
Has he been off his feet since this happened?
Yeah, he has been off his feet.
He's been very sad and I think...
I was wrong.
Says it all, really. Says it all.
What do you look for?
Do you think the two of you will stick together as a bit of a team now?
Oh, we're a definite team.
What are we talking here, Red Spot Specials?
Where are we going to be seeing you?
Is it come to this that you and the Fat will be there going...
Choppers this, chickens there going out?
Well, I don't see there's any life after Fat Cat and the Fritz.
Oh, it's...
Fat, try to put yourself together, mate.
It's national television.
I understand.
If you could just hear a small round of applause or something like that,
you'd feel so much better.
Oh, all right, then. Could you give him a round of applause, please?
Thank you.
CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
Well done.
Fat, I'm sorry.
They love it.
I'm...
LAUGHTER
Fat, I've got to ask some questions here.
I might have to take a bit of a hard line, look at it,
but I think at this stage, an emotional stage in your career,
we've got to be honest,
do you think...
Do you think that having no neck has held you back?
LAUGHTER
I don't know. Maybe...
Has it slowed you down at all?
All right, what about the rumours, Fat?
We've heard the rumours.
Is it true Channel 10 have approached you for a current affairs show?
LAUGHTER
You're a certainty to host New Faces now?
That's been rumoured.
Can you confirm or deny?
He confirms.
Fat Cat and New Faces.
It talks to me.
Now, a lot of the gossip scandal sheets, Fat,
I've got to be honest with you here,
have been going around saying that it was your after-hours life
that has caused this sacking.
LAUGHTER
You know what I'm talking about, Fat?
Don't turn away from me now.
I can read body language. No.
Oh.
No, you turn right.
You know what I'm talking about?
The late nights on the fence.
See that? The stretch?
The cat-a-walling, the Tom Ketting,
the vague smells outside on your doormat every morning.
LAUGHTER
All right, Fat, all right, I apologise.
Come back. I was just funning you. Come on.
Come on, sit down, sit down.
All right, there was almost a walk-out there on national television.
Fat, I'm sorry, I pushed you to that.
Listen, Patsy, perhaps we should chat
while the big C gets himself together.
Can you just tell me something I've always personally wondered?
Maybe you can help me with this.
Does Fat Cat wear jammies?
LAUGHTER
Well, no, actually.
You're telling me the big cat sleeps in the buff?
LAUGHTER
Well, he likes to pretend he's half-free when he goes to sleep.
Really? He likes to pretend?
Please, it's getting too weird for me.
I just won't even deal with it.
Perhaps we should see a bit of vintage, Fat Cat.
Look at this, ladies and gentlemen.
This is what they had the temerity to get rid of.
This is fat in action, as we knew and loved him.
OK.
And then we're going to clap. Step and clap.
Step and clap. Step and clap.
Step and clap.
Four of those. Four step claps.
Three, four. Right.
Right, let's try from the beginning.
And...
Arms up.
And up.
Up and down.
And down.
And steps and clap!
Step and clap!
Step and clap.
Officer أنay.
And up and...
Down and...
Down.
Step, step.
Step and clap.
APPLAUSE
Yeah!
Here's his fat cat for mine.
Here's his fat cat.
You saw it here, ladies and gentlemen.
The crowd's going wild.
Fat, settle yourselves down.
I know it's an emotional time. I can't tell you the joy.
There are so many kids not going to be able to step and clap now.
I mean, we were looking at that vision.
Our crew were right into it.
Little off beat, getting it wrong, sure, but they were into it.
Fat, sit there, control yourself.
Patchy, stay with us. This is live. We'll be back.
We'll be back shortly after this.
Applause
Music
Mexico City in 1968 saw a number of world records fall, but it was in the field events
that Olympic history would be reshaped.
World record holder Bob Seidron vaulted to gold with the American winning on counter.
Bob Fosbury introduced the remarkable Fosbury flop and the high jump headed a whole new
world.
He won gold with an Olympic best of 7 feet 3 and a quarter inches.
But it was in the long jump that 22 year old Bob Beeman shattered the previous mark.
He left 8.9 meters but didn't understand metrics.
He collapsed with shock when told he jumped 29 feet and better the old mark by nearly
22 inches, a record that stood for 23 years.

Yeah, we're here for the long run.
Not just passing through.

And it's thanks to you.
You made us what we are.

Herb Fanning is the only landmark in Lynchburg, Tennessee, the government doesn't know about.
Our courthouse dates back to 1885.
Jail's even older.
And Jack Daniel's distillery is registered as America's first.
The government named all three of these places national historic landmarks.
And if they ever met Herb, we bet they'd name him one too.
Jack Daniel's Tennessee Whiskey.
Oh, hi, darling.
I thought I was going to miss you.
Completely forgot about that late uni lecture, remember?
Anyway, Gina's picking me up and I'm late as usual.
But I haven't started dinner.
Rissoles, you know those new beef ones?
Why don't you do them on the barbie?
Those are basil and parmesan and those are for the kids.
Oh, this Gina.
Oh, there's some veggies in the fridge.
Better go.
Won't be home too late.
Oh, I'm sorry.
I'm sorry.
Hey, see you around, I hope you know what.

Elizabeth R. Saturday 6.30 on 7.
Robin Williams and his most famous role.
Good morning, Vienna!
7.30 Sunday on 7.
Oh, what a tragedy.
Mugging is an art form.
It's Valentine's Day and at an annual event to raise money for the Red Cross, the desperate
and dateless ballers in full swing couples who have been matched by computer are having
their very first date.
To find out how it's going so far, we've got Triple M's Jane Gennady bravely standing by.
Janey, you there?
Oh, Richard, yes.
And the words desperate and dateless are very apt.
Excellent.
Janey, give us a look.
What sort of frock are you wearing there, Janey?
That's the important thing.
I've got a blue number on but I don't want them to pan down because I, well, you know,
I just don't want it to go down anymore, okay?
Okay, sure.
That's fine.
Your personal life's your own.
Janey, how is the desperate and dateless ball looking?
I tell you what.
There are just 5,000 people here and they're feeling very hormonal this evening.
Janey, I don't like to say anything but there's a grinning geek sitting next to you.
There's plenty of those around tonight.
In fact, all these people have been matched up by computer and I saw them all arriving
and I tell you what, from the moment they walked from the taxi when it dropped them
off down to where we're partying now, it's a very long walk and I was trying to go through
what in God's name the conversation would be.
There was a lot of silent partners.
But did you know that last year's desperate and dateless ball, there were 7 marriages
from it?
You're kidding.
No, I'm serious.
So they're original partners or do people go and desperately swap numbers during the
walk?
Well, I think there is a bit of swapping going on here quite frankly but some blokes really
got the right idea.
They got the horse and cart.
They hide every horse and cart in Melbourne and drop the girlies off and some guy even
hide a helicopter and dropped his date off by helicopter tonight.
Unbelievable crawlers.
I can't believe it.
Absolutely.
Now, Janie, have you got a date?
That's the big question.
Well, no because ever since I found out that Stan Grant was married, well, my life's not
worth continuing really.
Sure.
Hey, I understand that but Janie, be brave.
You've got to go on.
I've got a cat here whose career's shattered.
He's going on.
I might find a date with that cat.
You never know.
All right.
See if you can pick it.
No, there's a terrible line there.
Let's leave it.
Janie, you can put it.
I'm sorry.
Gumpi's giving me a hard time here.
We'll come back to you, Janie.
We'll talk to you later on when they're more drunk.
I love you, Stan.
Thanks, Richard.
Okay.
Whatever.
Yes, indeed.
Our next guest, it's with great pleasure we welcome a champion Australia can be proud
of, a masochist, sure, but a world champion masochist.
Would you please welcome world champion Olympian marathon runner, Steve Monaghetty, ladies
and gentlemen.
Monaghetty, you've met Patsy.
Have you met Fat?
Yes.
Hi, Fat.
How you going?
Really?
Monaghetty, can I just say right off the bat, beautiful suit.
Thank you.
Yeah, thanks.
It's not often I get out of a tracksuit and into a suit.
But it's incredible the way you work the Nike logo in there.
You little corporate animal, you.
You're the greatest.
Thanks.
They're all at home cheering.
I look after my sponsors.
Exactly.
Now, I talked about you as being a masochist and to most people, I've got to tell you Monaghetty,
you are.
No one in their right minds runs that far often.
No, I don't run them often either.
That's probably my secret.
You've only done the A's, haven't you?
Yeah, since 86.
So I'm spreading them out a little bit trying to keep them safe.
As you would.
Yeah.
Well, it takes you a long time to forget how bad the last one was like about a year.
I've got to tell you, I'm not much of a runner and to me the thought of doing a marathon
is a bit like hitting yourself in the head with a piece of wood, you know.
Feels so good when you stop.
Yeah.
Well, I hadn't thought of it like that.
I'm sure that'll be inspirational when I was jogging in the Olympic marathon.
Think of it when you hit the wall, mate.
Just think of that.
Stubbs, you said this would hurt.
Yeah.
It's too late for brain damage anyway.
I'm safe on that count.
I've always wondered, you know, forget the questions like why do you do it, because it's
there, I guess.
But what I've always wondered is what you go through as you run your race.
So what sort of thoughts do go through your mind?
Because it's not like a sprint.
I mean, you've got time to think about what you're doing.
Yeah, a bit too long probably.
You tend to try and be very relaxed in the early part of the race, worry about your own
form and look around at the people that are running with you.
Make sure you're not running too quick, which I've done on occasions.
You've always got your game plan worked out and you know your opposition and all that
sort of stuff.
Yeah, it's pretty well.
Yeah, pretty well.
It never works out as you plan.
You always, I have this mental imagery where before the race you go through how it's going
to pan out and of course let's face it, mental imagery, you always end up winning.
Sure.
But it never quite works out that way.
Do you do that stuff?
Do you do positive visualisation, seeing yourself going yes, slow-mo across the thing, you know?
Yeah, you try and sort of get a bit of that in your mind because if, you know, it gets
very difficult at the later part of the race, you're losing a bit of your sensing.
So if you practice, it's a lot easier.
Sorry, hang on a second.
Go back.
You're losing a bit of your sensing.
Yes.
What is, I'm a little fuzzy on the losing the sensing thing.
What is that, Monnur?
When you get early on in the race, you're looking around, you know, terrific, beautiful
place to be running here, Barcelona, the fountains, lovely.
And then by the end of the race, it's straight down the bitumen because all of your energy
is really going to just keeping your mechanisms going and you really can't be afforded to
be looking around waving to people in the crowd and this sort of stuff.
It sounds like fun.
Now, it's not here.
Thanks.
What about before the race?
In a lot of events, I feel there's a lot of psyching out of their opponents in the change
rooms and stuff.
Is there much of that between marathon runners?
No, I would say there's great camaraderie between marathon runners.
Yeah, I've always felt that.
I think we all sort of realize that it's a personal challenge.
Like, I think in some of the events, we know that people are going to make it.
It's not a matter of whether you're going to get there.
It's just a matter of who gets there quickest.
But I think in the marathon, we realize everywhere in the world, you know, I'm not concerned
about what the other guys in the world are doing, the other people, because you know
they'll be training just as hard as what I am and we all respect the work you put in
and when we're out there, we're fiercely competitive.
But afterwards and before, it's business as usual.
In a lot of ways, it does have that real Olympic ideal still.
I think where a lot of sports have perhaps gone a different way, gone into money sports,
it does still have that vibe of camaraderie and striving for a personal best as well as
for your country.
Yeah, I'm pretty lucky to be in an event that really does have that camaraderie.
Yeah, I guess.
It still hurts.
Yeah, I know.
Which brings me now into the next thing.
You do stuff that I've always found fascinating, fun runs.
Now, to me, that would have been a contradiction in terms, you know.
I don't.
Call me crazy, but I don't wake up eight o'clock on a Sunday and go, oh, I might get into my
shorts and run 20 clicks.
You know, just for a laugh.
Now, you do those and I heard from Ian Cove that you freaked him out by saying hello to
everyone when you ran with him.
Is that true?
Well, that was a race in Ballarat and most people in Ballarat are probably pretty aware
of who I am.
They're supportive, so I feel like if I don't say g'day, that they won't be supporting me.
So Cove was having a little bit of trouble, but we were running pretty quick for Ian Cove's
pace.
So whereas I was on a training run, so I was coping with it a bit more.
So he's straining himself and you're running next to him going, yeah, hey, Fred, the garden's
looking nice.
Well, I was talking to him trying to talk him through it, but we had a couple of problems
along the way.
I hate someone trying to talk me through it as I'm gut busting, quite frankly.
Yeah, I think often, and Cove has mentioned this before, he often says, look, just don't
talk to me because I'm focusing, concentrating and I suppose it's probably pretty frustrating
when you're running as hard as you possibly can and this guy's just jogging along the
side.
I think you're probably running backwards chatting to him really putting him off too.
I think that's the real bummer.
And let's have a look at you in action actually.
We've got some scene of you in Berlin pounding the pavement there.
More than 30,000 took part in the gate.
On a get, he took the early lead and in a brilliant performance broke away five kilometres
from the finish, posting the year's fastest marathon of two hours, eight minutes, 16 seconds.
Thanks, fat, bit of training.
It could be a new career.
Steve, what makes a favourite run?
You said that was one of your favourites.
Oh, I won that one.
Oh, fantastic.
But that's such an emotional one too.
I mean, that was just as what, two days before or after the wall came down?
It was, yeah, the reunification.
Yeah.
So it was commemorating.
It was actually three days before they were having the big celebration for reunification.
So very emotional.
And as you've probably noticed, marathons can be a bit emotional as it is.
And actually the lady that won the women's race, Ute Pippig, was from East Germany and
she ran through the Brandenburg wall, the Brandenburg gate and she was actually crying.
Yeah, but normally you had to run through it a lot faster.
Yeah.
She's probably the only one that could run over and get back inside.
Yeah, you really screwed up on that starting gunfight.
Let me tell you.
And on that somewhat tasteless and dramatic note, let's go to a break.
When we come back, Ian Moss plays live.
This is Tonight Live.

Oh, baby, you know time is our only friend.
Don't you worry, don't you worry, don't you worry, my friend.
Wishing away all the troubles.
Moving to bring back the daylight again.
And I say, never give up until the feeling's right.

Never give up until the night is gone.
Never give up until the daylight has gone.
Oh, baby.
Never give up until the night is gone.
Never give up until the day is gone.
Oh, baby.
Never give up until the night is gone.

Welcome back.
I'm sitting here casually with Mona, Patsy and Fat.
Fat, how are you feeling?
Good, you okay?
Listen, mate, don't take it hard.
You're a professional.
You'll land on your feet.
Little cat joke there, sorry.
Mona, give him a bit of positive reinforcement.
Maybe you need a running partner.
Fat's got the feet for it.
He's definitely got the feet.
Imagine how many strides I'd have to take
if I had feet that big.
Exactly, buddy.
To say nothing of the old cheating at the start line.
Stick that foot out, half the front rank goes over.
Look, it's time now for something we love to call Viewer Faxers.
Remember at the top of the show I asked for some Valentine-y type ones.
And we've got lots and lots of faxes in.
Thanks so much to everyone.
We'll just do a few.
Hi, can you please tell Cherie, brace yourselves everyone,
we could have to reach for the bags during this.
Could you please tell Cherie, I love her, miss her, need her, want her.
She's the sweetest, cutest, most adorable girl I've ever known
and I can't bear to lose her.
Two O's.
Thanks, Shane.
Aw.
That was a joke.
Dear Richard, there's something strange about my Valentine-y.
Promise me you'll never forget me.
There's something strange about my Valentine-y.
Promise me a romantic dinner and turn it up at my place
with McDonald's and roses.
Thanks, Clarice, for that.
Gorgeous.
Here's one.
No, as it turns out, it will get us taken off air
and is anatomically impossible.
But thanks so much.
I don't believe I've ever seen that done with a nanotube and Roman rings.
Thank you.
Have enormously special. No, that's not quite right.
There are two people in your audience who are getting married tomorrow.
Could you please embarrass the heck...
Andrew, Karen, Aaron, Karen, Andrew, Karen,
there they are.
Andrew, Karen, get them out of here.
Get them out of here.
Andrew, come on.
Oh, Andrew, have you no shame, honestly.
Stop the senseless waving, waving around the place.
Stubbs, it happened one night, weird Valentine,
one at my girlfriend's house.
She wears contact lenses, I went to bed.
She went to take out her contacts, she can't see anything without them.
Uh-oh.
She decided to go to the bathroom.
She went to the bathroom, she went to the bathroom,
she can't see anything without them. Uh-oh.
She decided to gargle what she thought was mouthwash.
She came running in saying her mouth was on fire.
She couldn't breathe properly, I asked her what was wrong.
She told me she gargled death oil instead.
I killed myself laughing and told her to go drink water.
Then she came to bed still saying her mouth was burning
and that was that half an hour later.
She said to me, would you like to do naughties?
And of course I agreed.
Can we keep going or...?
She went down to Stanley
and you can guess what happened about 15 minutes later.
Stanley was on fire, she was the one laughing.
That's the...
That's the week of Bill Faxes, ladies and gentlemen.
APPLAUSE
But don't worry about it, I'll tell you about it later, buddy.
It's a showbiz type thing.
No, just as well, really.
Well, meanwhile, speaking of all that type of thing,
still reeling from the whole concept,
it's the desperate and dateless ball in full swing.
Triple M's Jane Kennedy is lurking there somewhere.
Janey, how's it going?
I'm a bit stressed, Richard. Yeah, yeah, I can believe that.
What's happening? What's the state of play?
Well, I'll tell you, the best spot to be is in the girls' toilets
because all the girls are going,
oh, I hate him, I hate his guards.
And they're all running away and everyone's doing the runner.
Lots of people have lost their partners.
But there are some people, you know, who are getting on pretty well.
In fact, so I went out and I've gone and found a couple
and I just want to ask Andrew and Michelle how they're getting on.
How are you getting on, guys?
OK.
Oh.
OK, maybe...
Yeah, maybe we might move away from Andrew and Michelle.
Yeah, no.
Actually, I do have another couple over here.
This is Herbie and Anne.
Yeah, nice suit, Herbie.
Aren't they a good looking couple?
Yeah.
OK, now, Herbie,
you've given Anne the lovely corsage.
Yes, I did.
Very romantic touch.
Oh, you've got to do your best, don't you?
You do, Herbie.
Now, I believe that
you did a very romantic gesture
in bringing Anne tonight. What did you do?
We came in a horse and cart.
Yeah, OK.
His personal life's his own, Janie. I think we'd better leave him with that.
Janie, listen, how do you think...
How do you think you're going to...
How do you think you're going to finish up?
Well, I don't like to say, Richard,
but I think I might be getting in the cab
and heading home soon.
We're actually having an auction of young men.
It's purely sexist, yes, I know.
There's no women on stage.
I'm going to auction off some celebrities in a minute,
and that should be pretty wild, I'd say.
Well, Janie, I've got $10 for you, if that'll swing it.
You know, chuck it in for me. I think it might help.
Janie, thanks so much and good luck tonight with a desperate and date, Les Vaughan.
Bye.
APPLAUSE
Oh, my God.
Well, this is like, we'll come back, fun pages,
weather, more with Vat, Mona and Patsy.
It's live, you know, tonight live.
APPLAUSE
