MICHAEL J FOX Hollywood's most inspirational star opens his heart to Sunday Night’s Rahni Sadler about his battle with Parkinson’s disease. Michael J Fox no longer wants to hide his plight, but instead wants to talk about his “charmed life” and his mission to find a cure. Today, signs of Fox’s Parkinson’s symptoms are very noticeable – he even struggles to sip a glass of water – but he is empowered to find a cure and has been inspired by a fellow Aussie sufferer, . The former teen heart throb takes Sunday Night into the foundation he set up to search for a cure for the disease and reveals the real hope on the horizon. BARRY HUMPHRIES’ TRIPLE TREAT For the first time ever, three iconic Australians come together for a remarkable and explosive interview – Barry Humphries, Dame Edna and Sir Les Patterson take to the stage at the same time in an historic showbiz spectacular. When he received the Australian of the Year UK award recently, Humphries knew Dame Edna would be jealous. With cameras rolling, Dame Edna, in a fit of rage and egged on by Sir Les Patterson, launches herself at long-time friend Humphries armed with her gladioli. Sunday Night’s Ross Coulthart sits down with all three Aussie icons and witnesses the fireworks. GORILLAS IN THE CONGO Sunday Night reporter Tim Noonan this week goes deep inside the jungles of the Congo to discover the endangered mountain gorillas who have managed to elude the rebels wreaking havoc on the species. Just as Joseph Kony and his LRA have committed horrific crimes in Uganda, Rwanda and the Congo, another group of rebels – the FDLR – have been threatening the survival of these gorillas. There are only 800 mountain gorillas left in the world, and Sunday Night encounters a group of these magnificent animals which have survived the onslaught.
