this genre.  Worth checking out just about every week...

> heard the surprise news that someone else had fathered the child he 
> believed was his own, Australians may have thought that was the end of 
> the story. But then in an extraordinarily frank interview last night 
> on Channel Nine, Kathy Donnelly delivered the latest intimate 
> instalment.
