Sunday Night: Aug 23

More than a year after it aired questionable footage of Oscar Pistorius re-enacting the night Reeva Steenkamp was shot and killed, Sunday Night now hears from her parents, who attest he “got away with murder.”

And yes there is part two of the Mike and Pete show. Any guesses of the outcome?

What Really Happened.
It’s the story that captivated the world and as the latest sensational twist in the Oscar Pistorius saga unfolds, Sunday Night has a major exclusive with Reeva Steenkamp’s parents, June and Barry. Pistorius was due to be released from prison and begin a form of home detention this week after serving 10 months of a five year sentence for culpable homicide. His release was suspended at the last minute for a review. In an emotional interview, June and Barry tell reporter Steve Pennells how they’re coping with the tragedy and why they believe Pistorius should remain behind bars. For the first time they also reveal what they believe really happened on the night their daughter was shot and killed by Pistorius and why they fear the Olympic sprinter has got away with murder.

Part II: The Great Paleo Challenge.
It’s the experiment that’s got Australia talking, outraged some and saw others ask ‘would it work for me?’ and jump in to test the Paleo diet for themselves. But we’re only half way there. Can the self-declared ‘lab-rat’ Mike Willesee go the distance or will he revert to his appalling lifelong diet of soft drink, ice cream and almost no vegetables? And if he does make the finish line, has the new diet made a lot of difference to his health and wellbeing or not? Once again Pete Evans is there to answer Mike’s questions about the benefits of the Paleo way and the criticisms of it. We’ll here counterpoint from those who think there are aspects of the regime that are concerning. But in the end it was one sceptical bloke’s decision to put himself to the Paleo test. The results will surprise and once again ignite important conversations about how we eat.

Sunday at 7pm on Seven.
