Segment: Saving the 'Roo. Official Publicity summarised: ''There was a time, not so long ago, when anyone looking skyward could see a flying kangaroo soaring by. Then COVID struck. Immediately, the 'roo went on the endangered list. After that, things got even worse. Extinction became a very real possibility. Thousands of Qantas employees were stood down and thousands more lost their jobs. Billions of dollars of revenue evaporated as the iconic Australian airline suffered like never before. But as Karl Stefanovic reports, from Monday the skies will once again be busier because the battle to save the flying 'roo is now being won.''
Segment: No Time to Waste. Official Publicity summarised: ''Super-spy James Bond has faced and conquered countless villains, but nothing prepared him for the evil of COVID-19. The pandemic derailed the release of the 25th Bond movie, No Time To Die, by almost two years. Now it's about to hit Australian screens and the hero is facing his toughest battle. Bond's mission is to revive an ailing film industry by getting audiences back into cinemas. But there is also another problem for the movie's producers. Star Daniel Craig says this is the last time he'll be calling himself 007. Thankfully, finding the new Bond won't be mission impossible, but it will be challenging.''
The episode was originally scheduled for a regular Sunday Night prime time time-slot of 8.30 - 9.30 pm on its Halloween 31st October 2021 airdate but the sad passing of Australian television legend Bert Newton over the weekend meant the episode was re-scheduled to 10 pm in order to run a special 90-minute tribute documentary about the late great Aussie icon of Australian television - Bert Newton.
The interviews for the 'No Time to Die' (2021) segment ''No Time to Waste'' were actually conducted in early 2020 ahead of the movie's original release date of which was in April 2020.
Segment: Collateral Damage. Official Publicity summarised: ''It was always going to be a risky assignment, but Australian construction engineer Robert Pether thought helping to rebuild war-torn Iraq was an important and noble job. He doesn't think that now. In April, Robert was thrown in jail. An overcrowded Baghdad prison cell will be his home for at least the next five years, and after that he will only be freed if he pays a US$12 million fine. As for his crime? Well, it seems to be nothing he's done. Rather, it's because the building company he works for is embroiled in a dirty business dispute with its client, and Robert, caught in the middle, has become collateral damage.''
