The King and Us

Not many people at age 74 get a new job, much less one they'll have for the rest of their lives, but such is the case with King Charles III. This weekend, the new monarch will be crowned, marking the beginning of the arduous task of following in his late mother's footsteps. According to surveys, not only is Queen Elizabeth II more beloved than Prince Charles, but so are William, Anne, and the rest of the royal family's offspring.

The new King has a lot of people to win over, and not just in the UK. The word "republic" is making a comeback in current Australian political discourse. On the other hand, 60 Minutes's Tom Steinfort hears from close friends and associates of His Majesty and Queen Camilla that the monarchy is in good hands with them.

Hammer Blow

A major crisis is developing in Victoria at a time when Australia needs a strong construction industry to build desperately needed housing.

In that state, the building regulator, a crucial part of the Andrews state government, appears to have given up. The VBA's stated mission is to safeguard Victoria, Australia residents from unreliable building firms and professionals.

Christine Ahern of The TODAY Show, on assignment for 60 MINUTES, discusses the devastating impact the VBA's inaction has on people who are just trying to put a roof over their heads.

Family Guy

Family Guy follows Peter Griffin the endearingly ignorant dad, and his hilariously offbeat family of middle-class New Englanders in Quahog, RI. Lois is Peter's wife, a stay-at-home mom with no patience for her family's antics. Then there are their kids: 18-year-old Meg is an outcast at school and the Griffin family punching bag; 13-year-old Chris is a socially awkward teen who doesn't have a clue about the opposite sex; and one-year-old Stewie is a diabolically clever baby whose burgeoning sexuality is very much a work in progress. Rounding out the Griffin household is Brian the family dog and a ladies' man who is one step away from AA.

EastEnders

Set in the East End of London, the show focuses on the tensions between love and family with stories ranging from hard-hitting social issues, to personal, human tragedies. And there's plenty of funny moments too. 

Classic characters old and new across thousands of episodes have shared a drink in The Queen Vic, shed tears of despair or joy, sat on Arthur's bench in the Square... and at some point or other they probably crossed paths with Ian Beale.
