If it helps, Harry Cording said he could MC the evening again - he's
just need to be briefed about what to say about which pieces Geraldene.

Chloe - can I drop off Oceania News reel for you to preview as well? (Is
that ok with you G?) 

Cheers, Kim

Have just chatted off loop to Kim

The hikoi is talking up my weekend 'free time', but I could dash in to
introduce and contextualise the east timor and newsreal pieces; Debbie,
could do foie gras; and Kim, Outfoxed?

I think Chloe's programming breakdown would work best - the other option
of breaking part way through Outfoxed might run the risk of a)
disrupting focus on the argument, and b) is less than ideal from a
maker's perspective
