title: Malaria Claims an Explorer

overview:
enedict and Pasquale reach an uneasy truce as the explorers trek to Tabora, site of the Livingstone house. There, one of the team comes down with malaria – ironically, the same place where Stanley contracted it. This puts the future of the expedition entirely in question. In the end, they decide to continue, and the Expedition heads off toward an uncertain future, knowing any relapse could lead to their failure. Time is critical if they want to make Ujiji in 30 days.

With one of the team ill and needing care, the balance of power changes, and the group is exhausted. They make camp, but must build fires to ward off the danger from hippos. After a decision to rest for a day, confrontations ensue. Two of the team get into a huge fight, putting team unity – and hope for a successful expedition – into shambles.

title: Malaria Claims an Explorer

title: Heart of Darkness

overview: Spirits are on the upswing as the expedition starts its trek to the Malagarasi. With the finish line is finally in sight, the three experienced explorers use their common love of exploration to help them put aside their differences and enjoy the remainder of the expedition while Kevin has his sights set on the finish line. The group reaches an abandoned village where they reluctantly set up camp near croc-infested waters (they would learn that the village was abandoned because crocs attacked the children). Pasquale and Benedict find themselves getting along, while Kevin grows frustrated. The next day, Pasquale wants to get moving early because thunderstorms and danger loom on the horizon. They make their way to their next campsite, where a night of chatting leads the explorers to open up about their pasts and gives them a better perspective on their fellow expedition mates. The next day, they will begin the final trek toward Ujiji. They must say goodbye to the porters who have helped them come this far. But now, traveling alone, the rains come...

Nine News reporters from around the country and overseas provided reports on news and entertainment.

On 15 July 2009, the Nine Network axed This Afternoon only just 12 editions due to poor ratings. With the demise of This Afternoon, Nine reinstated Nine Afternoon News, followed by Antiques Roadshow at 5.00pm and Hot Seat at 5.30pm. As a result, Nine News had Mark Ferguson as national presenter until left the Nine Network on 25 September 2009 to join the Seven Network.

title: Bang Goes the Winter Weather

overview:
A special hour-long edition of Bang Goes the Theory sees the team set up camp in their very own weather workshop. Their mission is to get under the bonnet of our winter weather and explain it as never before.

Dallas, Liz and Jem find out first-hand what it feels like to stand in one of our worst British rain storms and to have a blizzard smack you right in the face, as they challenge their ingenious weather chamber to recreate the conditions of two recent big storms in order to really experience how much of a punch those weather events packed. And in a genuine Bang first, they attempt to make cloud, rain and snow in the studio and from scratch.

In the first half of the special we explore what makes wind, where clouds come from and why we get battered with wet and windy storms every winter. In the second half, the team turns down the temperature dial as they ramp up the challenge to explain the science behind the big freeze that has paralysed the UK for two winters in a row.

As they uncover the extremes of our winter weather out and about in the wettest and windiest parts of Britain, back in the studio we follow table-top demonstrations that put the science of the weather to the test, from how to make your own cloud, to whether boiling water will crack a frozen windscreen and why some kind of snow is simply the wrong kind..

From recreating a rather dramatic ancient Chinese alchemy accident to splitting an atom in his own home-built replica of a 1930s piece of equipment, Jem reveals how explosives work and how we have used their power throughout history. He goes underground to show how gunpowder was used in the mines of Cornwall, recreates the first test of guncotton in a quarry with dramatic results and visits a modern high explosives factory with a noble history. Ground-breaking high speed photography makes for some startling revelations at every step of the way.

title: The Search For Life: The Drake Equation

overview: We look up at the night sky and see millions of stars and galaxies, but is there anyone looking back? Fifty years ago, astronomer Professor Frank Drake took a handful of guesses and turned them into proper science. Bang Goes the Theory's Dallas Campbell meets the man who made the search for aliens respectable. Drake used probability to estimate the number of intelligent civilizations there might be in the galaxy. His conservative figures suggest that there are up to one hundred million planets with intelligent life in our galaxy alone. Drake's search became formalized into SETI, the Search for Extraterrestrial Intelligence in Northern California. Scientists hunt for alien intelligence through radio waves, hoping to find a radio footprint or perhaps a beacon announcing themselves to the whole universe. Yet 50 years later, where is everybody?

title: My Kind of People

overview:
My kind of people is an ITV television show presented by British entertainer Michael Barrymore broadcast in 1995. Barrymore travelled around the country in his customised sports car visiting shopping centres, where amateurs performed on a stage for the programme unrehearsed.

Some acts were simply shown performing together with the audience reaction, whereas others were interviewed by Barrymore or shown inter-dispersed with footage of Barrymore to the side of the stage engaged in foolish behaviour in order to get reactions from the audience. Often, Barrymore would join the act on stage and continue the tomfoolery.

Notably, Susan Boyle performed on the show before she became famous worldwide for her Britain's got talent audition in 2009. Barrymore mocked her as she performed "I don't know how to love him" from Jesus Christ Superstar at the Olympia Mall in East Kilbride, lying on the stage beneath her and pretending to look up her skirt as she performed, attempting to sing with her during the end of the song and then staging a kiss with her. The clip was viewed several million times after Boyle rose to prominence, with many viewers criticising Barrymore for his rude and disrespectful behaviour, unfavourably comparing his notoriety since with Boyle's then-newfound fame and vocal ability.
