Current affairs show Tonight is the setting for this infamous battle of wills between journalist Simon Walker and Prime Minister Robert Muldoon. Walker interrogates assertions by Muldoon claiming an increased Soviet naval presence in the Pacific, and NZ vulnerability to Russian nuclear attack. Muldoon grows increasingly annoyed at being asked questions that are not on his sheet: "I will not have some smart alec interviewer changing the rules half way through." Walker still meets people who recognise him for this interview, 30 years later.
