THANKS, GUYS. DON'T RUSH AWAY ` WE'VE GOT A COUPLE OF BOY BAND STARS COMING UP. WESTLIFE, BOYZONE ` RINGING BELLS? I'VE PEPPERED THE SHOW WITH HOOKS FROM FAMOUS BOY BAND SONGS, AND AT THE END OF THE SHOW, FUN, FUN, FUN. ALSO ON THE SHOW ` REMEMBER RICKY BAKER FROM 'HUNT FOR THE WILDERPEOPLE'? HE WAS A BAD EGG. WELL, NOW HE'S A HIT IN HOLLYWOOD. WE SIT DOWN WITH KIWI FILM STAR JULIAN DENNISON AHEAD OF THE RELEASE OF DEADPOOL 2. BUT ALSO, I WAS NERVOUS, BECAUSE, YOU KNOW, THIS IS THE PRIME MINISTER. WHAT IT'S LIKE INTERPRETING JACINDA ARDERN'S WEEKLY POST-CABINET MEDIA CONFERENCE INTO SIGN LANGUAGE. PLUS, THE DENTIST WITH A NEW APPROACH TO TREATING CHILDREN AND GETTING RID OF TOOTH DECAY. CAPTIONS BY JAMES BROWN AND ALEX WALKER. CAPTIONS WERE MADE WITH THE SUPPORT OF NZ ON AIR. COPYRIGHT ABLE 2018 HI, EVERYONE. GREAT TO HAVE YOU WITH US ` ON A DAY UBER REVEALED IT'S WORKING WITH NASA TO EXPLORE A PLAN TO PUT FLYING TAXIS IN THE SKY. CHECK IT OUT. Here is the video. Look at this. It's like a helicopter. Is that a plane or helicopter? Is that really going to happen? You got to the top story of your building jump on that and go off. They could be testing for this in 2020. My question is this - have you seen the state of some Uber cars? If I go to the top story of TV NZ to catch my flying Uber home if the flying equivalent of a Toyota Yaris turns up I'm not going to get on it. What if it has mints? That will help. The flying equivalent of a Toyota Yaris - it's tiny. They might not pick you up with your rating. I've got a five-star rating on Uber. What have you got? 4.78. It's not my fault. I gave some people rides and they did some things they shouldn't have. You always want to be the person who rides in your Uber to keep your rating. 4.72. I always thought jet packs would be the future. Remember the jet back from the 1984 Olympics? That is the future. But that was 1984. Look at him go! That was the most memorable moment of that opening ceremony NLA. Why have we not got jet packs? Because we have people like you that have Uber ratings of 4.78. What would the soiling be for that? I would hate to imagine someone sorting themselves in a jet pack. WE START TONIGHT WITH THE YOUNG KIWI ACTOR MAKING IT BIG IN HOLLYWOOD. MOST OF US KNOW JULIAN DENNISON FROM HIS BREAKOUT ROLE AS RICKY BAKER IN TAIKA WAITITI'S BOX OFFICE SMASH HIT 'HUNT FOR THE WILDERPEOPLE'. AND HE WAS HANDPICKED FOR HIS LATEST ROLE IN BLOCKBUSTER DEADPOOL 2 BY NONE OTHER THAN HOLLYWOOD HEART-THROB RYAN REYNOLDS. BACK IN NEW ZEALAND, THE TEEN ACTOR SAT DOWN WITH TAMATI RIMENE-SPROAT. # X GON' GIVE IT TO YA... OHH. HEY. CHUR, BRO. GIMME ONE OF THEM. AND ONE OF THEM. AND THEN... EH. 'HE'S PROBABLY NEW ZEALAND'S MOST FAMOUS 15-YEAR-OLD. 'YOU'VE PROBABLY SEEN HIM IN THIS.' HE INVENTED SKIDDIES, MORE LIKE IT. OR THIS. RICKY BAKER. HE IS A BAD EGG. WELL, NOW... HE'S IN THIS. MY WHOLE LIFE I'VE BEEN WAITING ON SOMEONE TO SAVE ME. OK, YEAH, HE'S DEFINITELY NEW ZEALAND'S MOST FAMOUS 15-YEAR-OLD. BUT HE STILL SEEMS LIKE THAT KID FROM NAENAE/MORRINSVILLE. HAVE YOU STILL GOT THAT...? NO? SEE, YOU STILL GOT IT. YEAH, I STILL GOT IT. I GET THE BIG LIPS FROM MUM'S SIDE OF THE FAMILY. HIT IT! (FUNKY ROCK MUSIC) THERE'S THIS KID... IN DEADPOOL 2, DENNISON PLAYS RUSSELL, AKA FIREFIST, THE NEWEST SUPERHERO ON THE BLOCK, ALL THE WHILE MAINTAINING A CERTAIN LEVEL OF SKUXX ` LIKE KINDA GANGSTER, BUT IN A COOL WAY. YEAH, YEAH, YEAH. WAS A BIT SKUXX, ACTUALLY, YEAH. LITTLE BIT SKUXX. MAJORLY SKUXX, MAN. ONE OF THE BIGGEST MOVIES... ACTUALLY, LIKE, A LOT SKUXX. YEAH. BUT A HUMBLE SKUXX. YEAH. HUMBLE SKUXX. LIKE A SKUXX WITH ONE 'X' INSTEAD OF TWO. SO SKUXX, IN FACT, THAT HE'S BROS WITH SUPERSTARS LIKE RYAN REYNOLDS AND JOSH BROLIN. HOO! YEAH! YOUR BULLETS. THEY'RE REALLY FAST. I WAS REAL INTIMIDATED BY THEM, YOU KNOW? THEY'VE BEEN IN THE INDUSTRY SO MUCH LONGER THAN ME. THEY'VE DONE BIGGER FILMS. THEY'VE DONE... THEY'RE REALLY INFLUENTIAL PEOPLE IN THE INDUSTRY. SO YEAH, I DID HAVE TO PINCH MYSELF AND I REALLY HAD TO OPEN MY EYES. I'M LIKE, MAN, THIS IS REALLY HAPPENING. BUT WITH HIS FAMILY BY HIS SIDE, DENNISON'S STORMING HOLLYWOOD WITHOUT LOSING HIS SOUL. DO YOU GO BACK TO SCHOOL? YEAH, I GO BACK TO SCHOOL. HAVE YOU BEEN KEEPING UP WITH YOUR GRADES AND STUFF? YEAH, I'VE BEEN KEEPING UP WITH MY SCHOOL WORK AND TRYING TO GET ON TOP OF IT. BUT IT'S HARD WHEN YOU'RE OUT AND YOU DON'T HAVE TIME TO DO IT. BUT I LOVE JUST CHILLING OUT WITH FAMILY. AND DO YOU TEXT YOUR MATES AND BE LIKE, 'UP TO THIS WEEKEND?' YEAH. THEY'RE LIKE, 'HOMEWORK ` YEAH, YOU'VE GOT PAGE 167-168. 'MATE, YOU BETTER GET ON TOP OF IT.' STILL THE SAME HUMBLE BRO, BUT NOW WITH GLOBAL AMBITIONS. ALL RIGHT. IT'S SHOWTIME. AS A YOUNG MAORI ACTOR, I DON'T WANT TO BE SEEN AS A CHILD STAR. I WANT TO BE SEEN AS A SERIOUS ACTOR, JUST AN ACTOR WHO CAN CHANGE THE WORLD. THANK YOU SO MUCH, BRO. AWESOME. IT'S A PLEASURE. He is so fantastic. The people who don't know what skuxx life is... it is awesome, gangster. It's this. Is it? Tamati he showed me something. WHEN IT COMES TO LANGUAGE, WE KIWIS CAN SAY A LOT BY HARDLY SAYING ANYTHING, REALLY ` WHETHER IT'S A SLIGHT RAISE OF THE HEAD AND A LIP PUCKER FOR 'HOW'S IT GOING?' TO A HEAD WOBBLE AND EYE LIFT FOR 'NOT TOO BAD.' What was that? Ahead wobble and a partial eye lift. A LOT OF OUR COMMUNICATION IS NON-VERBAL. AND FOR SIGN-LANGUAGE INTERPRETERS, IT'S NO DIFFERENT. SO WHEN THE PRIME MINISTER'S WEEKLY POST-CABINET PRESS CONFERENCE WAS INTERPRETED LIVE FOR THE FIRST TIME THIS WEEK, TONE WAS EVEYTHING. OK, I WANT TO ACKNOWLEDGE, AS WELL, THAT... That is amazing. I had not realised the shortcuts with names. That is a lovely one. That is Jacinda's one, relating to her smile. We've been doing some practising as well. I'm going to give it a go. Apologies if it's not quite right. That means hello my name is Hillary. Very useful. I only remember this from when I was a kid. I tried to do some this afternoon. I have a learning difficulty. Keep cool till after school. That doesn't relate to the show at all. Right. And what would your shortened sign language name be? COMING UP, WE MEET A KIWI-BORN SUPER-DENTIST ON A MISSION. HOW HE PLANS TO STOP DENTAL DISEASE BEFORE IT EVEN STARTS. IT'S PREDICTIVE OF YOU HAVING A LIFETIME OF DENTAL DISEASE. HOW HE PLANS TO STOP DENTAL DISEASE BEFORE IT EVEN STARTS. PLUS, WHEN '90S BOY BANDS COLLIDE ` THE BEST OF BOYZONE AND WESTLIFE COME TOGETHER TO FORM BOYZLIFE. That's Bros, Hillary. Before the break, Jackson five. Just because we've got former boy band star is coming and you have decided to hijack the music and play really lame songs. WELCOME BACK. IMAGINE BEING ABLE TO TEST FOR TOOTH DECAY IN BABIES WHO ARE ONLY JUST GETTING THEIR TEETH. WELL, IT IS ACTUALLY POSSIBLE. AND IT COULD BECOME ANOTHER WEAPON IN THE WAR TO SHOW JUST HOW EASILY THE LIQUID GETS INTO THE CHALK. WHICH IS GOOD NEWS, BECAUSE A STUDY OUT THIS WEEK REVEALED OVER 6000 KIWI KIDS NEEDED HOSPITAL TREATMENT FOR SEVERE DECAY IN JUST ONE YEAR. GILL HIGGINS REPORTS. # IT MAKES ME SMILE. # YEAH, IT MAKES ME SMILE. # LOTS OF CHEEKY GRINS AND STRONG, HEALTHY TEETH. WOW, THEY LOOK FANTASTIC. BUT AT RHODE STREET SCHOOL IN HAMILTON, IT WASN'T ALWAYS THIS GOOD. GOING BACK NINE OR 10 YEARS, A DENTAL HYGIENIST COMING AND WORKING IN THE SCHOOL, THEY WERE HERE FOR NEARLY EIGHT WEEKS, REFERRING CHILDREN TO WAIKATO HOSPITAL FOR TEETH TO BE PULLED. NOW INSTEAD OF PULLING OUT TEETH, THEY'RE PULLING OUT ALL THE STOPS. NO TUCK SHOP. WE'VE GOT A KITCHEN WHERE WE GROW OUR OWN FOOD AND COOK OUR OWN FOOD. GETTING OUT OF JUNK-FOOD HABIT AND MAKING GOOD LIFESTYLE CHOICES OF HAVING YOUR FRUIT AND VEG. WE BANNED SUGARY DRINKS AND WE SAID ONLY WATER, AND ONLY MILK, UNFLAVOURED. WE'VE GONE TO OUR DAIRIES AND A VOLUNTARY AGREEMENT WAS DRAWN UP THAT THEY WOULDN'T SELL FIZZY DRINKS OR LOLLIES TO STUDENTS FROM RHODE STREET SCHOOL IF THEY WERE IN UNIFORM. I REMEMBER WHEN I WAS AT SCHOOL, WE WERE CHECKED EVERY MORNING WHETHER YOU HAD BRUSHED YOUR TEETH, WHETHER YOUR NAILS WERE CLEAN. AND IT'S OLD-SCHOOL, BUT WE'VE SORT OF ADOPTED THAT THINKING. AND THE BENEFITS OF ALL THIS? WELL, THOSE TREATMENTS THAT TOOK EIGHT WEEKS? TALK TO OUR DENTAL TECHNICIANS NOW. THEY'RE HERE FOR TWO WEEKS. IT'S THE KIND OF THING THEY THINK EVERY COMMUNITY CAN DO. BUT EVEN BETTER WOULD BE TO STOP THE PROBLEM IN KIDS BEFORE SCHOOL EVEN STARTS. ENTER DR MARK GUSSY. HE'S LIKE A SUPER-DENTIST, ON A MISSION TO DITCH CONVENTION AND FIND WAYS TO WORK WITH KIDS ` BABIES, EVEN ` THAT REALLY WORK. THE STAKES ARE HIGH. IF YOU HAVE TOOTH DECAY AS A CHILD, IT'S PREDICTIVE OF YOU HAVING A LIFETIME OF DENTAL DISEASE. DADDY'S JUST GOING TO PUT YOUR HEAD DOWN HERE SO I CAN LOOK AT YOUR TEETH. IS THAT ALL RIGHT? WE NEED TO THINK OUTSIDE THE BOX. OUR DENTAL SYSTEM IS SET UP TO DELIVER TREATMENT SERVICES IN A DENTAL SURGERY TO A PERSON WHO IS ABLE AND WILLING TO SIT IN A CHAIR. VERY YOUNG CHILDREN CAN'T DO THAT. I'M JUST GOING TO PUT ON MY MAGIC BLUE GLOVES. HE WANTS EASY, EARLY CHECKS. 2 IS TOO LATE. ONCE THEIR DIETARY PATTERNS ARE ESTABLISHED AT 2, THAT'S IT. SO WE'RE REALLY INTERESTED IN THAT FIRST YEAR OR TWO OF THEIR LIFE. WELL DONE. THERE WE GO. ESPECIALLY NOW THEY'VE DEVELOPED A SIMPLE SALIVA TEST. AS EARLY AS ONE YEAR, THEY CAN TEST THE MIX OF BUGS IN THE MOUTH AND PREDICT WHICH CHILDREN ARE LIKELY TO HAVE DECAY. IT WAS THAT EVENT THAT WE WERE THEN ABLE TO WAS ASSOCIATE WITH SEVERE DISEASE AT THE AGE OF 5. I THINK WHAT PARENTS WOULD WANT TO KNOW IS HOW CAN THAT BE APPLIED TO ACTUALLY HELP THEIR KIDS? A SIMPLE TESTING OF SALIVA DONE IN MATERNAL CHILD HEALTH OR PLUNKET COULD START A CONVERSATION WITH THE PARENT ABOUT, 'YOUR CHILD POTENTIALLY IS AT GREATER RISK, 'AND THEREFORE WE NEED TO DO THESE THINGS EARLIER.' SO WE HAVE SOME CONCENTRATED FLUORIDE VARNISHES WHICH ARE EXTREMELY EFFECTIVE, EXTREMELY SAFE, AND CAN BE APPLIED TO TEETH IN A VERY SIMPLE WAY. AND BY NURSES, WHEREVER CHILDREN HANG OUT. AND THAT'S NOT TRADITIONALLY THE DENTAL SURGERY. SO, WHERE ARE CHILDREN? THEY'RE IN DAY-CARE CENTRES, THEY'RE IN SHOPPING CENTRES. THE OTHER KEY IS DIET, WHICH BRINGS US BACK TO RHODE STREET SCHOOL, WHERE, DESPITE ALL THE GOOD STUFF THEY'RE DOING, THEY AGREE IT'S TIME FOR CHANGE. WE NEED A MOVEMENT. I THINK WE NEED THE COUNTRY TO ACTUALLY, LIKE WE'VE DONE IN THIS COMMUNITY, KNOW WHAT'S GOING ON, TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR IT COLLECTIVELY AND DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT COLLECTIVELY. # THEN I JUST SMILE. # I GO AHEAD AND SMILE. # That is some fascinating research. A saliva test to see if you are predisposed to it. How long do kids get free dental care for? Up to 17. You have to qualify at some point. A lot of people don't seek it out. A lot of people who have free dental care don't go and use it because it is scary. It gets scarier the longer you don't go. HERE AT 7 SHARP, WE'RE BIG FANS OF CELEBRATING KINDNESS AND SUCCESS. AND THAT'S WHY WE NEED YOUR HELP. DO YOU KNOW SOMEONE DOING SELFLESS THINGS FOR OTHERS IN YOUR COMMUNITY? I CAN'T BELIEVE IT! I DIDN'T KNOW WHAT WAS GOING ON TODAY. OR MAYBE THEY'VE HAD A TOUGH TIME AND DESERVE A TREAT. OH MY GOSH, YOU'RE KIDDING! WELL, WHY NOT NOMINATE THEM FOR OUR ASB GOOD AS GOLD AWARD. GO TO OUR FACEBOOK PAGE AND TELL US THEIR STORY. A root canal is not what you want. STILL TO COME AFTER THE BREAK ` WHAT HAPPENS WHEN BOY BANDS COLLIDE? WELL, THEY FORM AN ENTIRELY NEW BAND. BUT THEY'RE NOT BOYS ANY MORE. IN FACT, THEY'RE NOW INTO GOLF. THAT IS NEW KIDS ON THE BLOCK. They were so tough. WELCOME BACK. REMEMBER BOYZONE AND WESTLIFE? BOTH BOY BANDS WERE MEGA-FAMOUS IN THE '90S AND EARLY 2000S, SELLING OUT ARENAS AND BREAKING HEARTS, INCLUDING MINE. O-M-G. BRYAN FROM WESTLIFE WAS SUCH A BABE. WELL, NOW, ONE MEMBER FROM EACH OF THOSE '90S BANDS HAVE JOINED TOGETHER TO MAKE ` WAIT FOR IT ` 'BOYZLIFE'. AND NOW THEY ARE IN NEW ZEALAND, AND CAROLYN ROBINSON TRACKED THEM DOWN. WELL, IT WAS MORE LIKE STALKING, REALLY. # THOSE ARE THE THINGS THAT MAKE YOU MINE. IT'S A '90S DREAM COME TRUE. # AND IT'S LIKE FLYING WITHOUT WINGS. # I'M FLYING WITHOUT WINGS. KEITH DUFFY FROM BOYZONE AND WESTLIFE'S BRYAN MCFADDEN ` IN THE SAME PLACE,... AT THE SAME TIME! BETWEEN MYSELF AND BRYAN, OR BRYAN AND I, WE HAVE OVER 20 NUMBER-ONE SONGS. SO WHAT WE'RE DOIN' AT THE MOMENT IS WE'RE JUST KINDA GIVING PEOPLE THE WHOLE STEP DOWN MEMORY LANE, A BIT OF NOSTALGIA. WE'RE DOIN' ALL THE NUMBER-ONE SONGS. AND WE LIKE TO HAVE A BIT OF FUN. WE LIKE TO HAVE A BIT OF BANTER. WE LIKE TO SLAG EACH OTHER OFF ONSTAGE. # I HAVE A DREAM. THEY'VE ONLY BEEN IN NEW ZEALAND A COUPLE OF HOURS, BUT PRIORITY ONE IS ` MY GOD, HOW TIMES HAVE CHANGED ` A ROUND OF GOLF. WE DON'T LIKE TO NOT PLAY WELL, AND THE ONLY TIME WE DON'T PLAY WELL IS WHEN WE'RE HUNGOVER OR DRUNK. SO IT KEEPS US SOBER. YEAH. SO IT'S A POSITIVE THING NOW. IT IS. IT KEEPS US ON THE STRAIGHT AND NARROW. # YOU'D BE THERE # WHEN I NEEDED SOMEBODY. BOYZONE FORMED IN 1993, PUTTING OUT PLENTY OF CHART-TOPPERS. REMEMBER THE... (BOYZONE'S 'NO MATTER WHAT') # CHIKA-CHA, HA-HA. RIGHT ON ITS HEELS CAME WESTLIFE, OPENING FOR BOYZONE IN 1998 AND GOING ON TO HAVE 14 NUMBER ONES. # I CAN HARDLY BELIEVE # THAT YOU'RE MINE. # THIS LOVE IS UNBREAKABLE. AFTER BOYZONE ENDED, KEITH FOUND A NEW CAREER, STARRING IN CORO STREET FOR A DECADE. YOU'RE CONSTANTLY MENTALLY UNDRESSING ME WITH YOUR EYES. YOU'RE DOING IT RIGHT NOW. OH, PLEASE! THE ACTING REALLY KINDA SAVED MY LIFE AT THE TIME, BECAUSE WHEN BOYZONE BROKE UP, I DIDN'T REALLY KNOW WHAT AVENUE TO GO DOWN OR WHAT TO DO. BRIAN MADE HIS NAME IN TELEVISION, WORKING ON SHOWS LIKE AUSTRALIA'S GOT TALENT. BOTH SING: # SHE CHANGED MY LIFE. # SHE CLEANED ME UP. EVEN THOUGH I ENJOYED DOING IT, IT WASN'T WHAT I WANTED TO DO. WHAT I REALLY WANTED TO DO WAS BE ONSTAGE SINGING. YEARS LATER, THEY MET... AT GOLF... (SIGHS) ALL RIGHT, ALL RIGHT. ...AND BEGAN HATCHING A PLAN TO GET BACK TO MUSIC, GIVING FANS THAT AND MUCH MORE. YOU CAN EXPECT ALL THE HITS, BUT A LOT MORE, BUT WE JUST DON'T KNOW WHAT YET. YOU CAN DEFINITELY EXPECT THAT NO TWO SHOWS WILL EVER BE THE SAME, AND THEY NEVER HAVE BEEN. IT'S GREAT, BECAUSE YOU TAKE IT FOR GRANTED THE FIRST TIME ROUND. BUT GETTING SERIOUS ABOUT GOLF ISN'T THE ONLY SIGN THEY'VE GROWN UP. WHEN I FORGET THE LYRICS OF A SONG, I LOOK AT BRYAN,... EVERY GIG. ...AND I TRY AND MAKE EVERYONE THINK IT'S HIS FAULT AND NOT MINE. THE BEST THING IS HE GETS THE LYRICS WRONG FOR THE BOYZONE SONGS, NOT THE WESTLIFE SONGS. BUT YOU SEE, THERE'S A REASON` YOU'D ALMOST GIVE HIM A PASS... THERE'S A REASON FOR THAT. WE HAVE A KARAOKE SCREEN ONSTAGE. EVERYBODY THINKS IT'S A SPEAKER, BUT IT'S ACTUALLY ALL THE WORDS. AND HE STILL GETS IT WRONG! YEAH, BECAUSE I'M 'LEXDYXIC'. I CAN'T READ IT. (BOTH LAUGH) AND IT'S NICE THE FACT IT'S JUST THE TWO OF US, YOU KNOW? ONLY HAVE TO SPLIT THE MONEY TWO WAYS. (CHUCKLES) # WE'RE FLYIN' WITHOUT... CROWD: # ...WINGS. # We haven't got time to do a quiz. THERE'S ONLY 48 HOURS LEFT FOR YOU TO ENTER THE DRAW FOR A TRIP TO PARIS ` THANKS TO OUR FRIENDS AT ASB MUSIC. THE WINNER GETS TO TAKE THREE MATES ON WHAT WE HOPE WILL BE THE TRIP OF A LIFETIME. # HOLD BACK THE RIVER. LET ME LOOK IN YOUR EYES. FANCY LIVING LIKE A STAR IN PARIS WITH JAMES BAY? WELL, THANKS TO ASB MUSIC, YOU AND THREE MATES COULD FLY TO THE CITY OF LOVE AND MEET UP WITH JAMES BAY ON HIS 'ELECTRIC LIGHT' TOUR. # HOLD BACK THE RIVER. LET ME LOOK IN YOUR EYES. # 'ELECTRIC LIGHT' IS OUT ON MAY 18TH, AND TO CELEBRATE, WE WANNA FLY ONE LUCKY WINNER AND THEIR THREE MATES TO JOIN THE TOUR IN PARIS. YOU'LL MEET WITH JAMES BAY AHEAD OF THE SHOW, GET TO HANG OUT BACKSTAGE, SEE THE INS AND OUTS OF WHAT HAPPENS ON TOUR, AND THEN WATCH THE SHOW. WE'LL PUT YOU UP FOR THREE NIGHTS AND GIVE YOU $1000 EACH TO SPEND WHILE YOU'RE IN PARIS. TO GET IN THE DRAW, GO TO... AND TELL US WHY YOU WANT TO LIVE LIKE A STAR WITH JAMES BAY. We are going out with the great Kiwi band. True bliss. THOSE WERE OUR PEOPLE TODAY. THAT WAS SEVEN SHARP TONIGHT. WE'LL SEE YOU TOMORROW. CHEERIO. CAPTIONS BY JAMES BROWN AND ALEX WALKER. CAPTIONS WERE MADE WITH THE SUPPORT OF NZ ON AIR.
