2009 saw 60 Minutes cover some intriguing local and international stories, and according to Executive Producer Terence Taylor, 2010 will prove to be even more fascinating.

“As always we’ll be kicking off the 2010 season with a bang,” he says. “Shooting is already underway around the country and we have some brilliant stories coming in from overseas.”

When asked about details, Taylor is hesitant about revealing much, saying; “I can’t say too much, but what I will say is that we have some great stories already in the pipeline!”

This year will also see Mike McRoberts once again joined on screen by his wife Paula Penfold.

“As usual, Mike McRoberts will be presenting and reporting,” says Taylor. “And his wife, Paula Penfold, will be taking an on-screen role.”

As for the rest of the team, Taylor says they could not be more excited about the upcoming season.

“All of us have a good feeling about 2010 – and we’ll be keen to make it the best 60 Minutes season yet,” he says.

Make sure to join Mike McRoberts and the team for what is gearing up to be an unforgettable 60 Minutes season when the series premieres on a new night of Wednesday, February 17th at 7:30pm on 3.
