WE ALL KNOW WHERE THE QUEUE ENDS FOR THE QUEEN'S LYING IN STATE ` AT WESTMINSTER PALACE ` BUT WHERE DOES THAT QUEUE BEGIN? JENDY HARPER WAS UP EARLY IN LONDON AND WENT LOOKING TO JOIN WHAT COULD BE THE LONGEST LINE IN HISTORY. (FUNKY MUSIC) WHEN WE LEFT OUR HOTEL, WE WERE TOLD THE QUEUE STARTED JUST DOWN THE ROAD HERE, BUT IN THE TIME THAT IT'S TAKEN US TO TRAVEL HERE, IT'S NOW MOVED ANOTHER 2 MILES, DOWN NEAR THE TOWER BRIDGE. (FUNKY MUSIC CONTINUES) WE'VE DONE 1 MILE ALREADY, AND WE STILL HAVEN'T GOT TO THE BACK OF THE QUEUE. HOPEFULLY` DOWN HERE TO THE QUEUE. SORRY. THE QUEUE ` DOWN HERE. (FUNKY MUSIC CONTINUES) FOUND IT. (FUNKY MUSIC CONTINUES) ALONG THE WAY, SOME STUNNING VIEWS. (GENTLE, LOW-KEY MUSIC) I THINK WE FINALLY FOUND THE BEGINNING OF THE QUEUE. WE FOUND THE QUEUE. I KNOW. AMAZING. HERE WE ARE. DO WE KNOW ROUGHLY HOW LONG WE COULD BE IN THIS QUEUE? SOME PEOPLE HAVE SAID, 'OH, FRIENDS GOT THROUGH IN SIX HOURS.' OTHER PEOPLE ARE SAYING PRESS ARE REPORTING 12 HOURS. SO LET'S GO FOR THE MIDDLE ` MAYBE EIGHT HOURS. YEAH. WE'LL SEE. EIGHT WOULD BE GOOD, ACTUALLY. I THINK I COULD DO EIGHT. AND WHAT HAVE YOU BROUGHT WITH YOU TODAY? OH, WHAT HAVEN'T I? I'VE GOT SANDWICHES. I'VE GOT PASTA, CHOCOLATE, CRISPS, FRUIT, WATER. I'M STICKING WITH SAM, OK? (CHUCKLES) YEAH, ABSOLUTELY. (GENTLE, LOW-KEY MUSIC CONTINUES) AND WHAT MADE YOU DECIDE TO COME ALONG? WELL, MY MUM ASKED, SO I WAS COMING. (CHUCKLES) I WILL QUEUE OVERNIGHT IF I HAVE TO. THAT'S THE LAST I CAN DO AFTER ALL THE WORK THAT THE QUEEN HAS DONE OVER THE YEARS. LET'S FACE IT ` TWO DAYS BEFORE SHE SADLY PASSED AWAY, SHE WAS STILL WORKING. THE ENGLISH ARE VERY GOOD AT QUEUING TOO, AREN'T THEY? WE'RE VERY GOOD AT QUEUING, YEAH. AND WE GO STRAIGHT TO THE BACK OF THE QUEUE, YEAH, AND WE QUEUE POLITELY AND WAIT. I THINK THIS ONE MIGHT BE THE LONGEST ONE THAT I'VE EVER DONE. WHAT DO YOU THINK QUEEN ELIZABETH WOULD HAVE MADE OF ALL THIS? I THINK SHE WOULD HAVE BEEN DEEPLY, DEEPLY HUMBLED SEEING THIS TURNOUT AND THE OUTPOURING OF GRIEF, I THINK SHE'D PROBABLY GET A BIT OF A GIGGLE OUT OF IT TOO. OH, SHE WOULD. SHE WOULD. I THINK SHE'D BE GOING, 'WHAT A LOT OF FUSS FOR NOTHING.' TWO HOURS DOWN, SAM. HOW YOU DOING? MM-HMM. BIT OF SUSTENANCE. ABSOLUTELY. BEFORE WE GET TO SECURITY AND THEY TAKE THIS. (GENTLE, LOW-KEY MUSIC CONTINUES) SAM, WE'VE MADE IT. HERE WE ARE. WE'VE MADE IT. I KNOW. HOW DO YOU FEEL? UM, QUITE EMOTIONAL, ACTUALLY, NOW. (EMOTIVE STRINGED MUSIC) AND OUR VERY OWN JENDY HARPER IS WITH US LIVE IN LONDON. LOVELY TO SEE YOU, JENDY. HOW LONG DID YOU SPEND IN THE QUEUE? AS YOU SAW, IT TOOK US AND OUR JUSTIFIED THE ACTUAL START OF THE QUEUE. ALL UP, FROM START TO FINISH, I STOOD IN LINE FOR 7 1/2 HOURS, WHICH WAS NOT TOO BAD. IN THAT TIME, WE ONLY COVERED AROUND 80 KM. IT WAS A SLOW AND STEADY PACE. THE FIRST FEW HOURS WENT BY VERY FAST, BUT IN THE LAST FEW HOURS, WHEN YOU ARE IN FRONT OF WESTMINSTER AND YOU ARE SNEAKING THROUGH METAL BARRIERS FOR SEVERAL HOURS, THAT WAS A REAL GRIND. THAT IS INCREDIBLE COMMITMENT. HOW WOULD YOU DESCRIBE THE ATMOSPHERE ALONG THE WAY AND ONCE YOU GOT INSIDE? THE VIBE IS INITIALLY VERY JOLLY, TO USE A VERY ENGLISH TERM. YOU ARE ON A DENTURE AND YOU QUICKLY FORM A BOND WITH THE PEOPLE AROUND YOU. I HAD NEVER MET SAM BEFORE AND WE KIND OF PAIRED UP. AS YOU COME WITHIN SIGHT OF WESTMINSTER, THE MOOD DOES BECOME MORE SOMBRE AND THERE IS AN AWARENESS AMONG THE CROWD ABOUT WHY YOU HAVE COME. YOU PASS THROUGH SECURITY, AND WITHIN A MINUTE OR SO YOU ARE STANDING ALONGSIDE THE QUEEN'S COFFIN AND YOU ARE GIVEN JUST A FEW SECONDS TO MAKE YOUR PERSONAL FAREWELL OR ACKNOWLEDGEMENT. WE ALL KNOW THE BRITISH ARE VERY GOOD AT QUEUING IN AN ORDERLY FASHION; WERE THERE ANY QUEUE JUMPERS? THE WEARER COUPLE. THERE WERE A COUPLE I SAW WHO TRIED TO SNEAK THROUGH. THE WITH A HEAVY SECURITY PRESENCE ALONG THE QUEUE, BUT IT WAS THE PEOPLE IN THE LIGHT WHO HELD THE LINE, AND THAT WAS CERTAINLY TRUE YESTERDAY. THERE WERE ONLY A COUPLE. THEY WERE GIVEN A KIND MESSAGE OF GOING BACK TO THE START. YOU HAVE TO DO THE HARD SLOG JUST LIKE WE DID. THANKS, JENDY. TAKE CARE. CAPTIONS BY SOPHIE PEARCE, MAEVE KELLY AND ALEX WALKER. CAPTIONS WERE MADE WITH THE SUPPORT OF NZ ON AIR. WWW.ABLE.CO.NZ COPYRIGHT ABLE 2022 THE BRITISH KNOW HOW TO QUEUE. THEY DO NOT MIND QUEUEING. I CANNOT IMAGINE NEW ZEALANDERS QUEUEING LIKE THAT. IT IS AMAZING. AS SOMEONE SAID, THEY SAID THAT THEY FELT IT WAS THE LEAST THEY COULD DO FOR ALL OF HER YEARS OF SERVICE. HOW MUCH OTHER PEOPLE GET PAID IS A SOURCE OF CONSTANT FASCINATION, AND DESPITE CALLS FOR MORE TRANSPARENCY OVER PAY, MOST PEOPLE KEEP THE DETAILS TO THEMSELVES. WHICH IS WHY A NEW REPORT FROM JOB WEBSITE SEEK IS SHINING A SPOTLIGHT ON SALARIES, AND IT MAKES FOR RIVETING READING. (JAUNTY MUSIC) PAY, WAGES, PINGERS, DOUGH ` EXACTLY HOW MUCH WE'RE BRINGING HOME IS A TABOO TOPIC. BUT A NEW REPORT FROM SEEK PULLS BACK THE VEIL ON SALARIES, SHOWING WE'RE BEING VALUED HIGHER THAN EVER. DATA FROM MAY TO JULY SHOWS SALARIES ARE UP ACROSS ALL SECTORS, MOST ROLES GETTING DOUBLE-DIGIT PERCENTAGE BOOSTS COMPARED WITH THE PREVIOUS QUARTER. THE BEST-PAID JOBS ARE IN INFORMATION AND COMMUNICATIONS TECHNOLOGY, BUT THE BIGGEST JUMP IN PAY HAS GONE TO THOSE WORKING IN SALES ` SALARIES THERE UP A MASSIVE 20.5%, WITH AN AVERAGE PAY OF ALMOST $78,000. ALSO GETTING MORE IN THE BACK POCKET ` WAREHOUSE PACKERS. THEIR PAY'S UP 17.5% TO ALMOST 52 GRAND. SO ARE YOU BEING PAID ENOUGH? AND ROB CLARK FROM SEEK IS HERE NOW. LOVELY TO SEE YOU, ROB. WHAT IS THIS DATA TELLING YOU ABOUT THE WORLD OF WORK? YEAH, IT'S VERY INTERESTING AT THE MOMENT. WE'VE GOT SOME VERY FASCINATING DYNAMICS IN PLAY. WE CONTINUE TO HAVE RECORD JOB NUMBERS ON SEEK.CO.NZ, AND IT'S BEEN THAT WAY FOR A NUMBER OF MONTHS NOW. AND AS A CONSEQUENCE OF THAT, WE SEE A LOT LESS APPLICANTS PER JOB, AND SO THOSE LOOKING TO FIND TALENT, THEY'RE FINDING IT HARDER. AND WITH THAT IMBALANCE IN SUPPLY AND DEMAND, WE'RE SEEING SALARIES GROW ACROSS THE BOARD. AND ARE YOU SEEING GOOD INCREASES AT BOTH ENDS OF THE WAGE SCALE? YES, WE ARE, ACTUALLY. SO, WAREHOUSE PACKER ROLES UP 18% VERSUS LAST QUARTER, AVERAGE SALARY OF AROUND $52,000. SALESPERSON ROLES UP 20% IN THE LAST QUARTER, AT AROUND AN AVERAGE, ADVERTISED SALARY OF AROUND $80,000. AND, OF COURSE, THE I.T. ROLES, AS I MENTIONED, AVERAGE AT ABOUT $111,000, UP 6%. SO IT IS ABSOLUTELY ACROSS THE SPECTRUM. AND ROB, WHAT ROLES WERE WORST PERFORMING IN TERMS OF PAY INCREASE? SO WE'RE SEEING SOME SOFTNESS IN AREAS LIKE REAL ESTATE ` AS YOU CAN IMAGINE, THAT INDUSTRY IS GOING THROUGH A TOUGHER TIME THAN IT HAS. SO WE SAW A SLIGHT DECREASE IN ADVERTISED SALARIES IN THAT AREA. AND THE OTHER AREA WHERE WE SAW DECREASES WAS IN COMMUNITY SERVICES, AND SOME OF THE CHALLENGES THERE ARE MORE AROUND THEIR INABILITY TO COMPETE WITH THE PRIVATE SECTOR WHEN IT COMES TO SALARIES, PARTICULARLY WHEN WE'RE SEEING SIGNIFICANT INCREASES. THERE'LL BE SOME PEOPLE WATCHING THIS WHO MIGHT FEEL THAT, BASED ON THIS INFORMATION, THEY'RE MISSING OUT. WHAT'S YOUR ADVICE TO THEM? YES, LOOK, IT'S A GREAT TIME TO LOOK FOR A JOB. THERE IS A BOOM OUT THERE; THERE'S NO QUESTION ABOUT IT. IF YOU'RE UNHAPPY OR YOU'RE LOOKING FOR THE NEXT STEP, THERE'S NEVER BEEN A BETTER TIME. YOU COULD ARGUE IT'S LESS COMPETITIVE, FEWER PEOPLE APPLYING PER ROLE THAN THERE HAS BEEN. SO IF YOU'RE LOOKING FOR A CHANGE, NOW'S THE TIME, BECAUSE YOU'VE GOT THE BEST BARGAINING POSITION THAT YOU'VE EVER HAD. THANK YOU SO MUCH, ROB. TAKE CARE. YOU'RE WELCOME. CHEERS. LAST WEEK, A MASSIVE FIREBALL APPEARED IN THE NIGHT SKY SOMEWHERE AROUND OTEPOTI, DUNEDIN. THE METEORITE HAS LANDED SOMEWHERE NEAR THERE. IT'S POTENTIALLY ONE OF THE LARGEST WE'VE EVER SEEN. NOW THE HUNT IS ON, AND THE GEOLOGISTS LOOKING FOR IT ARE VERY, VERY CLOSE. JULIAN LEE REPORTS. A RARE GALACTICAL GIFT FROM THE STARS ` A MASSIVE FIREBALL, TERRIFYING AND BEAUTIFUL, THE CREATOR AND DESTROYER OF WORLDS. THIS IS SO MUCH MORE THAN A ROCK, ISN'T IT? OH, OF COURSE. IT'S SO MUCH MORE THAN A ROCK. IT'S A PIECE OF THE EARLY SOLAR SYSTEM. THESE OTAGO UNI GEOLOGISTS ARE BRIGHT ` THEIR LANGUAGE IS FROM ANOTHER PLANET. THE PERIDOTITES IN THE ALPINE DYKE SWARM HAVE THE SAME, UH, COMPOSITION AS ARCHEAN MANTLE, SO WE'RE TRYING TO FIGURE OUT WHY THAT IS. BUT THE ROCK THEY'RE LOOKING FOR AT THE MOMENT IS ONE WE CAN ALL UNDERSTAND. YOU'RE EXPOSED TO THIS ALL THE TIME, BUT DO YOU EVER SIT THERE AND JUST GO, 'THIS IS AMAZING'? YEAH, THIS IS` THEY'RE PRETTY CRAZY THINGS. LIKE, WHEN YOU THINK ABOUT THE HISTORY OF SOME OF THESE ROCKS ` IT'S AMAZING. LIKE, SOME OF THESE ARE THE OLDEST ROCKS YOU CAN FIND IN OUR SOLAR SYSTEM. METEORITES ARE THOUGHT TO HAVE DELIVERED THE ORGANIC COMPOUNDS THAT ARE ESSENTIAL FOR LIFE ` SO THE COMPONENTS OF DNA AND PROTEINS AND MAYBE EVEN LIQUID WATER AS WELL. WITHOUT THOSE THINGS, EARTH WOULD JUST BE ANOTHER BARREN PLANET. THESE ROCKS HAVE CRAZY HISTORIES IN SPACE WHERE THERE'S COLLISIONS THAT HAVE CAUSED PARTS OF THEM TO MELT, AND SOME OF THEM COLLECT UP INTO BIG MASSES WHICH THEN FORM, SORT OF, SMALL PLANETS OR` HAVE FORMED THE EARTH. AND SO DENSE AS WELL, AREN'T THEY? YEAH, THEY'RE BASICALLY MOSTLY IRON AND NICKEL, SO THEY'RE LIKE PICKING UP A LUMP OF STEEL. THEY CONTAIN A LOT OF PRECIOUS ELEMENTS THAT AREN'T` THAT ARE HARD TO COME BY ON EARTH, AND I JUST THINK THEY LOOK PRETTY. (LAUGHS) THEY'RE VERY NICE DISPLAY PIECES. HEY, THAT'S A GOOD ENOUGH REASON FOR ANYTHING. ONLY NINE HAVE EVER BEEN FOUND IN NEW ZEALAND. SO, WE'RE LONG AND SKINNY, AND MOST METEORS THAT PASS OVERHEAD WOULD GO FROM WEST TO EAST, AND THEY SORT OF OVERSHOOT THE COUNTRY AND FALL INTO THE OCEAN A LOT OF THE TIME. ANOTHER REASON IS JUST THE TYPE OF TERRAIN WE HAVE ` SO, NEW ZEALAND HAS A LOT OF VERY RUGGED, MOUNTAINOUS TERRAIN, A LOT OF BUSH. THE LAST ONE WAS ALMOST 50 YEARS AGO ` THE LARGEST EVER, THE DUNGANVILLE METEORITE. THE GEOLOGISTS CAN'T WAIT ANOTHER 50 YEARS, SO THEY'VE BEEN SETTING UP A NATIONWIDE CAMERA GRID CALLED FIREBALLS AOTEAROA. WE CATCH METEORS AS THEY FALL THROUGH THE NIGHT SKY. SO, THEY APPEAR AS QUITE A FAST-MOVING BRIGHT LIGHT, UM, AND THE CAMERA DETECTS THAT, AND IF THERE'S A REALLY BIG ONE, YOU CAN CALCULATE THE TRAJECTORY AND WHERE IT MIGHT LAND. SCIENTISTS ALL OVER THE WORLD HAVE BEEN TRYING TO FIGURE OUT WHERE THIS ONE LANDED LAST WEEK USING A LOT OF VERY COMPLICATED MATHS. THEY'VE REDUCED THE AREA DOWN TO ABOUT 4km BY 500m. WHAT ARE YOUR CHANCES OF FINDING IT? UM, I THINK OUR CHANCES ARE` ARE STILL PRETTY GOOD. (INTREPID MUSIC) THERE'S SOMETHING HERE. BUT IT'S NOT IN DUNEDIN CENTRAL; IT'S OUT HERE. WE CAN'T SAY EXACTLY WHERE. THE LOCAL FARMERS ARE ALREADY GETTING HARASSED. THESE THINGS CAN BE WORTH ASTRONOMICAL PRICES. WE CAN USE A DEVICE LIKE THIS ` WE CAN SORT OF JUST SHOOT` ZAP THE ROCK, BASICALLY, AND IT GIVES US A CHEMICAL COMPOSITION, AND IF THE ROCK CONTAINS LOTS OF NICKEL, WE WOULD TEND TO THINK THAT THAT COULD BE A METEORITE. SO YOU GUYS CAN FIND THE FAKES ONLINE AND IMMEDIATELY, YOU KNOW, FIGURE IT OUT? YEAH, YOU COULD GET A PRETTY QUICK IDEA BASED ON` YEAH, ON ITS COMPOSITION. NOW, TO FIND A METEORITE, IT'S IDEAL TO BE IN A PLACE LIKE ANTARCTICA OR AUSTRALIA, WHERE IT'S NICE AND FLAT ` AND NICE AND EASY TO FIND A BIG HOLE IN THE GROUND. BUT HERE, IN THE HEAVILY UNDULATING TERRAIN OF BACKBLOCKS OTAGO, IT'S A COMPLETELY DIFFERENT STORY. ALL OF THE MATERIAL IN OUR BODY HAS COME FROM ROCKS THAT GATHERED TOGETHER IN OUR SOLAR SYSTEM TO FORM THE EARTH. SO WE COME THE EARTH, AND, YOU KNOW, THE EARTH COMES FROM THESE BITS OF ROCK THAT GATHERED TOGETHER (CHUCKLES) IN THE SOLAR SYSTEM. THAT'S AMAZING. CHUCKLES: YEAH. THAT IS AMAZING, ISN'T IT? THAT WE'RE MADE OF STARDUST. STARDUST NOW SOMEWHERE OUT HERE THAT WILL SHINE LIGHT INTO THE DARKEST, MOST CRYPTIC CRACKS AND CREVICES OF THE COSMOS AND CREATION ITSELF. KEEP YOUR EYES PEELED, EVERYBODY. E WHAI AKE NEI ` COMING UP ON SEVEN SHARP ` IT'S A MARATHON OF MUSIC, SO WHAT'S A 24-HOUR BRASS RAZOO? I LIKE THE NAME. I THINK IT'S ROCKIN' OUT. WHATEVER THAT MEANS. (CHUCKLES) NAU MAI, HAERE MAI ` WELCOME BACK. LOVELY TO HAVE YOU WITH US. WITH WARM WEATHER ON THE WAY, THE SKI SEASON IS COMING TO AN END, BUT THERE'S ONE MORE EVENT IN THE SOUTH THAT'S GOT SNOW SPORTS FANS EXCITED ` THE JOSSI WELLS INVITATIONAL. BEN HURLEY GOT HIMSELF TO CARDRONA AND TREBLE CONE TO CHECK OUT ALL THE ACTION. (THE BLACK EYED PEAS' 'PUMP IT') AT AGE 16, WANAKA LOCAL JOSSI WELLS BECAME THE YOUNGEST EVER SKIER TO COMPETE AT THE X GAMES. SINCE THEN, HE'S BEEN FLIPPING, SPINNING AND GENERALLY BEING TOTALLY SICK ALL OVER THE WORLD. BUT, NOW, HE'S INVITED THE WORLD TO HIS HOME. I'M ALMOST AT THE TOP OF TREBLE CONE FOR THE JOSSI WELLS INVITATIONAL, AND FOR THIS GUY, WHO'S NEVER BEEN SKIING, NEVER EVEN BEEN THIS FAR UP A MOUNTAIN, IT'S A BIT CHALLENGING! SO THIS IS THE FIFTH YEAR THAT WE'VE BEEN RUNNING IT. WE'VE BEEN OFF FOR TWO YEARS FOR OBVIOUS REASONS. UH-HUH. IT STARTED OFF AS A BIG AIR EVENT, INVITED MY FRIENDS FROM AROUND THE WORLD TO COME DOWN. HOW MANY FRIENDS ARE WE TALKING? WE'RE TALKING 100 OF THE WORLD'S TOP RIDERS FROM 18 DIFFERENT COUNTRIES HAVE COME DOWN HERE TO WANAKA. MY GOD, THAT'S A LOT OF FRIENDS. IT'S A LOT OF MATES. YEAH. (BOTH LAUGH) NOTHING QUITE HAS THE BACKDROP LIKE WE HAVE RIGHT BEHIND US, SO, YEAH, EVERYONE DEFINITELY LOVES COMING DOWN HERE. (ROCK MUSIC) WHAT ARE YOU GONNA DO ON THIS FIRST JUMP HERE? WHAT DO YOU WANT ME TO DO? UM, I DON'T KNOW ` ONE WITH THE FUNNIEST NAME. OOF. LIKE, IS THERE A McTWIST OR A`? JEEZ, A McTWIST? CAN YOU DO A McTWIST? YEAH. AM I GONNA SEND YOU TO YOUR DEATH? MAYBE. I DON'T KNOW. (CHUCKLES) YEAH, WE'LL SEE. I DON'T EVEN KNOW WHAT A McTWIST IS, SO YOU CAN DO ANYTHING. MIGHT TRY, LIKE, A CORK FRONT 7. A CORK FRONT 7. I HAVEN'T DONE ANYTHING OFF THIS THING YET, BUT... CORK FRONT 7, LET'S DO IT. SEE HOW WE GO. (GUNS N' ROSES' 'WELCOME TO THE JUNGLE') UM, I THINK HE'S ALL RIGHT. I'M SURE` I FEEL` I FEEL SOMEWHAT RESPONSIBLE. SO, WHERE HAVE YOU COME FROM? FINLAND. FINLAND. OK. I MEAN, QUITE A STRONG COUNTRY IN TERMS OF SNOW SPORTS, RIGHT? YEAH, TO BE HONEST, WE DON'T HAVE THAT MANY BIG MOUNTAINS IN FINLAND, BUT A LOT OF, LIKE, SMALLER RESORTS. WE KNOW FINNISH PEOPLE LIKE TO HAVE FUN, AS IS PROVEN BY YOUR PRIME MINISTER, OF COURSE. (LAUGHS) YEAH. (JAUNTY MUSIC) IT'S ALWAYS NICE TO SPEND SOME TIME WITH FRIENDS, RIGHT? (LAUGHTER) I'M SO EXCITED TO BE BACK. I THINK IT'S BEEN FIVE YEARS NOW, AND, OH, IT FEELS SO GOOD. FOR ALL OF US TO GET TOGETHER AT, LIKE, SUCH A UNIQUE TIME OF THE SEASON IS REALLY WHAT IT'S ALL ABOUT. HOW GOOD IS THIS EVENT? YEAH, UNREAL. IT'S SO SPECIAL TO BE OUT THERE, AND, YEAH, JOSSI PUTTING ON THIS EVENT AND HOSTING ALL THESE INCREDIBLE SKIERS AND SNOWBOARDERS DOWN IN WANAKA, I GET TO SLEEP MY BED AND COME SKI AT MY LOCAL MOUNTAIN, SO IT'S PRETTY COOL. ARE THESE THE COOLEST PEOPLE IN THE WORLD? UM, THEY ALL SEEM TO THINK SO. I ALWAYS FEEL LIKE I SHOULD MAKE IT UNCOOL JUST BY BEING HERE, JUST TO BRING DOWN THE EXCLUSIVITY OF IT SOMEWHAT. YEAH, GOTTA MAKE IT WELCOMING TO EVERYONE, YOU KNOW? YEAH. DO YOU THINK` (CHUCKLES) DO YOU THINK I'M ACHIEVING THAT? YEAH, EXACTLY. DOING A GOOD JOB. GREAT (!) OK, JOSSI, I'VE SEEN A LOT OF SICK MOVES TODAY. YOU'RE SHOWING THE WORLD OUR BACKYARD ` THE BEST VIEWS, THE BEST SKIING; ARE YOU SHOWING THEM THE BEST CUISINE? THE ABSOLUTE FINEST DELICACIES RIGHT HERE. YOU REALLY ARE. THIS IS WHAT YOU'VE DONE. PEOPLE HAVE COME FROM FINLAND ` THEY'RE GETTING A SAUSAGE AND BREAD. I LOVE IT. IT'S SO GOOD. SO GOOD. (CHUCKLES) OK. IT'S TIME FOR YOU TO SIGN OFF, THIS HAS BEEN JOSSI WELLS WITH 720 SHARP. (CHUCKLES) SICK. (CHUCKLES) DISAPPOINTED THAT BEN HURLEY DIDN'T END UP SENDING IT OVER A JUMP SOMEWHERE. HE IS TOO OLD. FOR THE NEXT 24 HOURS, THE SWEET SOUNDS OF BRASS WILL FILL THE AIR OF THE WAIKATO THANKS TO AN EVENT KNOWN AS THE BRASS-RAZOO. THE RAZOO IS A NON-STOP FUNDRAISER FOR THE HAMILTON CITIZENS BAND, A GROUP THAT INCLUDES BOTH NEWBIES AND SEASONED PROS. (LIVELY TROMBONE MUSIC PLAYS) SO, WE'VE GOT PEOPLE IN OUR ORGANISATION FROM 7 YEARS OLD UP TO 82. I WAS LUCKY ENOUGH, IN 1953, WHEN THE QUEEN VISITED, TO PLAY IN THE TIMARU BAND. WELL, IF I TAKE IT REALLY FAR BACK, WHEN MY MUM WAS PREGNANT WITH ME, SHE WAS ACTUALLY PERFORMING ON THE STAGE AT A CONTEST. I REMEMBER MY FIRST BRASS RAZOO WHEN I WAS PROBABLY 7 OR 8. THE BRASS RAZOO ` IT'S AN OLD PHRASE, AND WHEN WE DECIDED, AROUND 15, 20 YEARS AGO, THAT WE WANTED TO HAVE A 24-HOUR PLAY-A-THON, WE WANTED A CATCHY NAME. AND SO I THOUGHT, 'HEY, I HAVEN'T GOT A BRASS RAZOO.' I LIKE THE NAME. I THINK IT'S ROCKIN' OUT. WHATEVER THAT MEANS. (CHUCKLES) IT'S ROCKIN'. IT'S ROCKIN'! AND JOINING US FROM BRASS RAZOO HQ, PRINCIPAL TROMBONIST AND RAZOO VETERAN MALCOLM BARR. LOVELY TO TALK TO YOU, MALCOLM. WHAT'S IN STORE FOR THE NEXT 24 HOURS? KIA ORA. YEAH, 24 HOURS OF NON-STOP MUSIC ` LOTS OF FUN, LOTS OF NOISE, LOTS OF SOUND, NOT A WHOLE LOT OF SLEEP. WE'RE GOING TO HAVE ALL SORTS OF GROUPS HERE. WE'VE GOT OUR BRASS BANDS; WE'VE GOT SOME CHOIRS COMING; WE'VE GOT A CHILDREN'S SING-ALONG IN THE MORNING; SOMETIME IN THE MIDDLE OF THE MORNING, WE'LL PROBABLY HAVE A MEATLOAF SING-ALONG, WHICH WON'T BE SOMETHING YOU WANT TO MISS. MALCOLM, HERE'S YOUR CHANCE TO BLOW YOUR OWN HORN. WHAT ARE YOU FUNDRAISING FOR AND HOW CAN PEOPLE HELP OUT? OK, SO, WE'RE FUNDRAISING FOR NEW CARPETS FOR OUR BAND ROOM, A NEW TROMBONE LIKE THIS ONE, SOME NEW CORNETS. IT'S A VERY EXPENSIVE ORGANISATION TO RUN, AND WE DON'T OWN OUR OWN INSTRUMENTS; THE ORGANISATION OWNS THEM, SO THE FUNDRAISING GOES TOWARDS THAT AND THESE INSTRUMENTS PASSED DOWN TO THE YOUNGER PLAYERS IN THE BAND. IF PEOPLE WANT TO HELP OUT, THEY CAN JUMP ON THE GIVEALITTLE PAGE ` JUMP ON GIVEALITTLE.CO.NZ AND SEARCH FOR 'RAZOO' ` IT'S R-A-Z-O-O ` AND YOU'LL BE ABLE TO FIND US THERE AND GIVE US ALL THE MONEY YOU'VE GOT SPARE THIS WEEKEND. NICE TO TALK TO YOU, MALCOLM. NOW, ALL THE BEST FOR THE WEEKEND. ARE YOU GONNA PLAY US OUT WITH SOMETHING? YEAH. WE THOUGHT THE MOST APPROPRIATE THING TO PLAY FOR YOU THIS` TONIGHT IS 'GOD SAVE THE KING'. THANK YOU SO MUCH, MALCOLM. BEST OF LUCK WITH EVERYTHING. LET'S HAVE A LISTEN. (BAND PLAYS 'GOD SAVE THE KING') (RITARDANDO, MUSIC ENDS) ABSOLUTELY BEAUTIFUL. WE'LL BE BACK IN JUST A MOMENT. I COULD JUST GET THE SKIN OFF WITH A PARING KNIFE. ON THE SHOW NEXT WEEK, CORGIS ` IF YOU'VE EVER THOUGHT ABOUT OWNING ONE, WE'VE GOT ALL THE REASONS TO LOVE THE QUEEN'S FAVOURITE DOGS. THOSE WERE OUR PEOPLE TODAY; THAT WAS SEVEN SHARP TONIGHT. WE'LL SEE YOU ON MONDAY. HAVE A GREAT WEEKEND. PO MARIE. CHEERIO. CAPTIONS BY SOPHIE PEARCE, MAEVE KELLY AND ALEX WALKER. CAPTIONS WERE MADE WITH THE SUPPORT OF NZ ON AIR.
