Well, we didn't see that coming…

It's Australia Day 1988, the biggest television event of the 1980s and the News at Six team are bringing the action to their viewers in a marathon live TV extravaganza.

Helen makes plans for the future, Dale moves into a new flashy house and Gerry asks Dale for help when he's caught with his pants down.

Hosts Lisa Millar and Leigh Sales have a cuppa with Sam Reid (Dale Jennings) to recover from the dramatic, sometimes dark and emotional season finale and to unpack Dale's ruthless power play.

Show creator and writer, Michael Lucas also drops by again to enlighten Leigh and Lisa on all of the behind-the-scenes goss from the writer's room.

And Dale, wow, Dale.
