The Monster of Mazan, Big Deal
THE MONSTER OF MAZAN
On 60 MINUTES a story so deplorable it redefines the meaning of immorality. Mazan used to be an unremarkable little village in southern France. Today it's better described as a place of evil because it's now known that among its residents lived a monster. Dominique Pelicot pretended he was a loving family man when in fact he was a sexual deviant. His victim was his unsuspecting wife Gisèle, who he repeatedly secretly drugged and raped. That's horrific enough, but Pelicot also recruited more than 70 other men to join his criminal depravity that went on for almost ten years before it was discovered. However, while Gisèle Pelicot suffered terribly, there was no way she going to let the torture she endured ruin her life. At her husband's trial, she bravely agreed to waive her right to anonymity so the full extent of his nefarious behaviour would be exposed. Caroline Darian is the daughter of Gisèle and Dominique Pelicot, and in an exclusive interview with Dimity Clancey, she gives an insider's account of the case that shocked the world.

BIG DEAL
What makes Luke Combs such a big deal is that he's not. Sure, he's a country and western megastar, but as Adam Hegarty discovered, when you meet him off stage he's so disarmingly normal it's just like having a natter with a neighbour over the back fence. It's no wonder millions of people around the world love this bloke from North Carolina. For the past few weeks Luke has been touring Australia, playing to record crowds in packed-out stadiums. Seeing the joy he brings to his fans is, well, a joy to behold.

Furniture restorers, horologists, metal workers, ceramicists, upholsterers and all manner of skilled craftsmen and women have been brought together to work in one extraordinary space, restoring much-loved possessions to their former glory.
Many of these items have incredible stories behind them and a unique place in history: from an accordion played in the Blitz by a woman who is now in her 90s, to a beautifully crafted clock made by a father who was completely blind; a Pinball machine that is currently being used as a kitchen counter, and a Davenport desk with its trademark fake drawers which fooled burglars - and their crowbar.
The Repair Shop is an antidote to our throwaway culture and shines a light on the wonderful treasures to be found in homes across the country.

The Gilded Age
The American Gilded Age was a period of immense economic change, of huge fortunes made and lost, and the rise of disparity between old money and new.
Against this backdrop of change, the story begins in 1882 — introducing young Marian Brook, the orphaned daughter of a Union general, who moves into the New York City home of her thoroughly old money aunts Agnes van Rhijn and Ada Brook. Accompanied by Peggy Scott, an accomplished African-American woman, Marian inadvertently becomes enmeshed in a social war between one of her aunts, a scion of the old money set, and her stupendously rich neighbors, a ruthless railroad tycoon and his ambitious wife, George and Bertha Russell.
In this exciting new world that is on the brink of the modern age, will Marian follow the established rules of society, or forge her own path?
