Nine’s 60 Minutes, airing at 8:15pm, pulled in 849,000 metro viewers. Last night’s episode of the current affairs program saw anchor Ross Coulthart update audiences on the child-recovery story which resulted in Tara Brown and her crew being arrested in Lebanon.
According to a report in The Huffington Post, Coulthart said: “60 Minutes has been featured in the news a lot over the last week because four members of our team remain in police custody in Beirut, Lebanon. They were detained while filming a story on a child custody battle.
“We want you to know that every possible effort is being made to ensure our team’s wellbeing as they go through the legal process. We are working relentlessly to bring them home and we acknowledge the strong support of their families in helping us do that.
“Before the next court appearance, scheduled tomorrow, my colleague Tara Brown tells us she is being well treated in a women’s detention centre. Stephen Rice, the producer on the story, is detained separately with cameraman Ben Williamson and sound recordist David Ballment. And there’s Sally Faulkner, a mum from Brisbane who was trying to retrieve her two young children.
“They’ve been held now for 11 days but are said to be in good spirits and coping very well. It is a nerve-wracking time for them all, and of course for their families waiting for news at home. We’ve been doing our very best to keep them informed of every development.
“The Nine Network has been very grateful to the authorities in Lebanon for the respect shown to our crew and we acknowledge the untiring efforts of diplomatic staff in Beirut and in Canberra. We’ll keep you posted on how it’s going. ”

I think I represent a true minority – these shows rile me where food is used as a prop for throwing, smashing, tossing, and just straight out WASTING… in an era of food security. Unless any person has literally been starving, living in poverty, and not known where the meal is coming from, there’s no way to understand how distressing it is to see food – real edible food – is wasted and used to play with.
Darrell should know better, and the hypnotist should ashamed. Besides, a “ratings grabber” attempt by Ch9 with this show is just pathetic. I agree with the other comment; Darrell, RETIRE. Get off TV.
