The Others
Are we really all alone in the universe? It seems hard to believe
that only Earth is populated, but when most of us think of aliens,
little green men seem equally far-fetched. Well as 20/20's Pete
Cronshaw discovers, there are plenty of Kiwis who say they've had
contact with beings not of this planet. You'll meet one man, who
after losing time for a number of years, discovers under hypnosis
that he could have been abducted by aliens & another who
believes he's seen an alien ship, and a group of ordinary New
Zealanders who devote their spare time to the worship of
extraterrestrial beings. We take you in to the world of the
believers.

Diary of a Soldier
In every war, soldiers find a way to record what's really going on,
whether it's by diary, or now in Afghanistan and Iraq, by video.
But as 20/20 reveals what they have to say, is not what the
Pentagon wants you to know. Tonight you'll hear in their own words
why some of them think the war's become a joke, and their chilling
insights into what's really going on, on the frontline.

Triple the love
When Hugh Hefner does it it spawns a hit TV series. But ordinary
couples say they're automatically classed as sex fiends, when they
invite others into their marriage. 20/20 talks to several families
about why they believe it's healthier for everyone to live in
polygamous relationships, and what they get out of it. As several
of the women say it's not always about being attracted to someone
else's husband that seals the deal - but a chance to have a
meaningful friendship and sisterhood with the other wives.

Life without Pain
Gabby seems like any typical seven-year old girl who loves playing
board games, idolises her older sister, and dancing, but she has an
incredible medical condition that forces her to wear a helmet and
goggles. She literally can't feel pain, which leaves her at
constant risk of serious injury without knowing it. Her parents say
they've spent her whole life worrying about knocks and bruises that
other people wouldn't give a second thought. But as 20/20 discovers
there's hope, when we uncover a woman who's made it to adulthood,
despite suffering the same condition.

PLUS
- They call him Jimmy Justice - a renegade who takes
on officials armed with a camera and points out the bad behaviour
that they ticket other people for. No cop or traffic warden is
immune, any illegal u-turn is fodder for his constant stream of
blogging. But is he really performing a public duty or just being a
dangerous renegade?
