60 Minutes: Oct 20

60 Minutes screens it Mark ‘Chopper’ Read interview this weekend, in which he admits to murdering 4 men.

But it’s not all about him. Ray Martin sits down with the one and only Dolly Parton. And she wouldn’t hurt a fly.

Chopper
This past week, there have been many send offs for Mark ‘Chopper’ Read. Through his stage shows, his books and a very successful feature film, he became Australia’s favourite crook. But for all the mythology around Chopper, the truth about what he did is monstrous. Just 16 days before he died, Tara Brown sat down with Mark Brandon Read for his last ever interview. It quickly became a confessional – in which he admitted in graphic detail to murdering 4 men. Beyond the brutal killings, what made his admissions so chilling was his flippancy and utter lack of remorse. The language is coarse, the subject matter confronting – just like the man himself.

Dolly
Dolly Parton is a show business superstar. She’s sold more than 100 million records, and won eight Grammys. She’s starred in box office hits – winning Oscar, Golden Globe and Emmy nominations. So much about Dolly Parton is unreal, the cosmetic surgery, the wigs, the false eyelashes and fingernails. But, when Ray Martin met her in Nashville Tennessee, he found her to be real, honest, straight talkin’, and to coin a phrase – upfront.
