Born to Smile
When a baby is born with Williams Syndrome, even the doctors don't always recognise the symptoms. The most striking characteristic is their extreme friendliness. They were born to smile. But that smile is not always returned when their loving nature is taken advantage of. Emma Keeling meets two inspirational women who keep smiling no matter what the world throws at them.

Material Girl
Nothing is off limits when pop icon Madonna sits down with 20/20 for an exclusive and intimate conversation about her music, movie, family life, dating, age and even Lady Gaga. She also answers some of the thousands of questions that viewers wrote in wanting 20/20 to ask her.

Once Upon a Time
Hannah Ockelford heads to Hollywood to talk to the stars of America's new hit show Once Upon a Time.  This ratings winner turns the traditional fairy story on its head and explores the dark side of every Once Upon a Time tale, meaning that it doesn't always end with a happy ever after.

Challenge for Eva
Last year we met Eva, the little girl who's so sick she's spent her whole life living at Starship Hospital. Hannah Ockelford was so moved by the challenges Eva faces every day that she took on a challenge of her own. Watch as Hannah and Eva's mum Tiffany take part in the Accor Ten Dollar Challenge, a competition which involves travelling from Queenstown to Auckland on only ten dollars - all the while trying to raise money for Cure Kids.
