And if you’re talking about it, why not tell us what you think.
Also, just a bit of an early erratum. Towards the end of the show Brett says that Robyn Butler is married to Bob Franklin. This is incorrect. She is married to Wayne Hope.

In a move that shows that TV networks might actually, finally, understand the way the world works, this was reported in the New York Times:
NBC Universal, acknowledging that viewers are increasingly moving away from traditional television viewing, announced plans today for a service that will make popular NBC programs available to download free to personal computers and other devices.
Then again, it says that the files will expire after seven days which means there’s some kind of ridiculous DRM present.
What do you think? Will this be another horrible failure? Has anybody been following the iTunes store debacle?
This came in a Seven media release this afternoon:
Tonight on Australia’s number one public affairs program, Opposition Leader Kevin Rudd opens his home and
sits down with host Anna Coren for an intimate interview.During the very candid interview, the man who wants to be Prime Minister talks to Coren about his family,
the opinion polls…and what happened when he was stuck on a plane with John Howard last week.Anna Coren – at home with Kevin Rudd – Today Tonight exclusive tonight, at 6.30pm on Seven.
Make of that what you will (and I’m sure you will).
