2:10 'Operation Jericho' - Gary Bridger - 70 years ago today.. a group of young pilots took off on a daring bombing raid in a bid to help free prisoners of war in Amiens, France.
Leading the charge was a young kiwi pilot named Merv Darrall.. who'd joined the RNZAF at 22 and had become skilled at low-level precision attacks in his de Havilland Mosquito. The raid was called 'Operation Jericho' and it became known as one of the most epic aviation feats of World War Two. Gary Bridger is a great nephew in law of the late Merv Darrell.

2:20 10dd - Julie Lamb - Last Friday we spoke with 10cc founder, Graham Gouldman who was being inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. And it prompted an emailer to alert us to a Wellington Choir called... 10DD.
As the name suggests, it's a tribute band of sorts...well, a choir actually. Fourteen women interpreting 10cc songs.. using only their bodies and voices...and as you just heard, it sounds pretty impressive.
Jim talks with 10dd founder and 10cc fan, Julie Lamb.

3.45 Pre Panel Show - Jim with Zara Potts, and today's panellists.

4:06 On The Panel today are Ellen Read and David Slack:  Brendan McCullum's batting triumph, TVNZ's General Manager of Maori and Pacific Programmes using the building on behalf of the Labour Party, more thoughts on Colin Craig sueing David Cunliffe. Why ABBA wore outlandish costumes, why haven't these people who owe huge amounts in parking fines been chased down before now, and do we need warrants of fitness for cars at all? The way Lotto should be won. Let's face it, there are some deserving big lottery winners but often the money is allocated with complete cosmic indifference. Someone who really needed to win big has just done so. I'm sorry that it wasn't you.
