CHRISSY AMPHLETT’S NEW HOPE It is five years since the Australian queen of rock, Chrissy Amphlett, revealed she had multiple sclerosis, and just a year since she told Sunday Night that she was suffering from breast cancer. This week Sunday Night returns to the story of this remarkable woman as she fights back against one deadly disease and takes aim at another. She tells Rahni Sadler about her revolutionary new treatment for MS. It’s a controversial discovery that could hold the key for thousands of sufferers – so why is it being ignored here in Australia? BATTLESHIP BRAVEHEARTS For the first time on TV Sunday Night presents spine-chilling video of the infamous HMAS Perth resting on the sea-bed where she sank in battle, and took with her so many Australian lives. It’s been 70 years since the Battle of Sunda Strait, arguably the most significant Australian naval battle of World War Two. It was 1942 and the crew, 681 young Australian sailors, found themselves confronting the might of the Japanese navy as it advanced towards Australia. Half the sailors were killed in the ensuring battle off the Indonesian coast, the rest became Japanese prisoners of war and just 218 of them saw Australia again. There are now just a few survivors left, and they have told their extraordinary story to guest reporter Mike Carlton. TORNADO TOURISTS While most sane people run away from deadly tornadoes, a select few Australians love nothing better than running towards them – hoping to witness Mother Nature at her cruellest. This week Sunday Night meets the storm chasers – and the pictures they capture are amazing. Alex Cullen joins the action and goes chasing the eye of the storm. DANNY DEVITO Ross Coulthart sizes up the lovable comic villain in LA, Danny DeVito, who speaks openly about love, life and living with good mate Michael Douglas. At nearly 70, DeVito boasts one of the longest lasting marriages in Hollywood. And he also holds some very frank views on the differing political views of his former Twins co-star Arnold Schwarzenegger, who he describes as “a thick-headed meat-head”.

The Real Housewives of Potomac

Just up the river from our nation's capital lies a hidden gem—Potomac, Maryland. Its rolling hills, gated mansions, sophisticated prep schools, and exclusive country clubs all serve to keep the area invitation-only. Sprinkled throughout this community are a handful of old-line, wealthy African-American families who have historically broken racial barriers to provide a life of privilege for their children. The Real Housewives of Potomac follows the upscale lives of six intriguing, well-to-do women: Gizelle Bryant, Katie Rost, Karen Huger, Charrisse Jackson-Jordan, Robyn Dixon, and Ashley Darby, all of whom have fought for their places in this society by way of legacy or marriage. In a town where entry is granted only through class, pedigree, and lineage, how far will these ladies go to secure their spot at the top of this prestigious circle?
