Tonight is the final episode of Nine’s first outing of Big Brother. With 300 crew members, 42 cameras and almost 90 hours of television broadcast each series, there is no TV production quite like it. Encore managing editor Brooke Hemphill visits the set of the revived reality show to see how it is put together and finds the training ground for Australia’s television industry.

She is also the first woman to wear both hats and to direct the legendary Christmas extravaganza on her own. (From 1971 to 1973, Emilia Sherman directed the Rockettes but was not in charge of the Christmas show, and in 1979, Dru Davis co-directed the Christmas show with Howard Parker.)The most renowned chorus line in the world, the Rockettes (originally known as the Roxyettes) made their debut at Rockefeller Center's Radio City Music Hall in 1932, under the direction of the Broadway dance director Russell Markert, who led the troupe until his retirement in 1971. Despite historically epitomizing the all-American girl, the precision-dance company has always, for the most part, been led by men. "For some reason, it's always been that way," says Haberman, "although I believe there...
