This week, one of the toughest challenges of Andrew’s career: how do you interview a friend of 40 years, someone you’ve known since you were teenagers, someone you’ve worked with, laughed with and already shared most of your life with?

In a rare chance to find out what’s actually going on inside the head of this fascinating comic, an Australian enigma, a man who hides in plain sight - Carl Barron.

The indefatigable Jade has pitted herself against some of the toughest conditions on the planet and come up smiling. And now, after making it back in one piece, she has something to tell us about how to live our lives.

Australia loved Stephen Curry in The Castle. It loved him as Graham Kennedy in The King. From his teenage debut in Fast Forward, he’s been a constant presence on our screens, appearing in projects as different as Blue Heelers, The Secret Life Of Us, Cloudstreet, and this year’s Mr Black.  

This week, the amazing and heart-warming story of Dr Munjed Al Muderis, whose bold new approach to surgery is helping hundreds of Aussie amputees to walk again.

This week on Interview, a special treat: Madonna in the blue guest chair. Marking the release of her new album, Madame X, the pop icon sits down for a chat with Andrew in London in her only Australian TV interview.

This will be one to watch!

This conversation with Andrew is wide-ranging, covering the brother he never knew he had, sharing a dole queue with Sean Connery, being frightened by Heath Ledger on the set of Batman and spotting his future wife in a TV commercial, among many, many other things.

She’s a delightful surprise packet of a human being, a woman secure enough to be open about her anxieties and her challenging background.
