When I open the link, it says video loading but nothing happens (correction - it finally comes thru but then says it can't be viewed). Off to the left it also says can be viewed by Australian residents only.

Is anyone else having the same problems?

 

[ThreeMusketeers]

Could you send me the link as well? Been searching all over for it!
Thanks..

Ain't nothing like a dame

THE difference between Australian and US network TV is buckets of money. The discrepancy was laid bare when Ray Martin for Nine and Barbara Walters for US network ABC descended on Australia Zoo on the weekend to record interviews with Terri Irwin. It is a measure of the status of the Irwins in the US that Walters would deign to travel all the way to Australia to talk to her. As Walters has reportedly noted, it was two 22-hour flights in three days. Walters has interviewed everyone from world figures such as Russia's Boris Yeltsin, China's Premier Jiang Zemin and former British prime minister Margaret Thatcher to famous mistresses such as Monica Lewinsky. The matriarch of American TV arrived at Beerwah on the Sunshine Coast on a Qantas jet with an entourage of 30, including the advance party that arrived a few days earlier to smooth the way for the grand dame. While Nine had two cameras for the shoot, Walters had seven. Seven cameras to film one person. The US production was akin to a mini-movie as truckloads of equipment were flown in to make the hour-long special, which aired on Wednesday at 10pm US time. Walters recorded her interview with Irwin on the Friday, then spent a long day on Saturday at the zoo recording extra footage. The Americans needed lots of shots of Walters, Terri and the koalas, kangaroos and snakes, so creatures were strategically placed in trees to get the right effect. While Walters was charming on Friday, we hear she was a little snappy on Saturday as her patience ran out and the jet lag kicked in.

Those three can be viewed by anyone and are the only three that are available to be viewed by non Australian residents.

I was hoping to e-mail them to ask if or when they would be able to be viewed by non Australian residents, but they don't have an e-mail addy.. only a snail mail one.

Thanks again Nutsy! Much appreciated.

I'll check them out when I get home.

Personally I like the Ray Martin interview a lot more than the walters interview. I think it was more cohesive, I had a big problem with the breaks in Barbaras interview for random footage and voiceover. But both were so sad

My heart breaks for Bindi the most. She completely idolized her father, and now he's gone. Poor thing

As usual on network TV, it was a lot of commercial extravaganza...can't they ever do anything without so much advertising? I really know the answer to that one....but it's sad they couldn't give more airtime to Steve's causes along with the interview.

I agree with you. I felt like in the Walters interview, we saw Terri speak for maybe a sum total of 10-15 minutes. The Martin interview was much more comprehensive and gave a much fuller picture of everything.

Have just finished watching the Aussie interview and I have to say it was really lovely.

I just hope that the Barbara Walters one is as good.

If anyone would like to watch the Aussie version either before or after the Barbara Walters one I can tell you where you can watch it.

Yes, I would like to see it too. I saw the 20/20 one last night & my heart just breaks for Terri. But God Bless her, she is so strong in her faith. That will carry her through. As will those lovely children.

I finally watched the interview today and wanted to ring Barbara's neck half-way through. What a pompous and obnoxious woman.

My heart is breaking for Terri though, she just looks worn down.

I watched the Australian interview on youtube. Wonderful interview (the interviewer did an excellent job). I really feel for Terri Irwin, but she seems like an exceptionally strong woman and she will do a good job of continuing their work and raising their children without him.

I completely agree with you.

I personally felt that any other US journalist would have done a better job. Barbara acted like the pampas *** she generally does.

So sad that we couldn't have sent somebody else who would have done the occasion justice.
