From The Attic (10.30 AM) uncovers the stories, mysteries and meaning behind ANZAC taonga or treasures so many Kiwis have stashed ‘in the attic’ and includes a fascinating tale of a lost locket.

Kiwi survivors of the RAF’s Bomber Command in World War II (pictured) – some who have now passed on – are interviewed as part of the stunning feature documentary Night After Night (5.45 PM). The Homai Te Pakipaki ANZAC Special (8.00 PM) features talented performers from Invercargill, Rotorua, Nelson and Auckland who will share their ANZAC music with a live studio audience as well as the viewers at home.
