1:15 New Zealand's forgotten Wimbledon Champion

He was born in New Zealand and won Wimbledon four times, so why isnt he more well known?

Anthony Wilding was born in Christchurch in 1883. He went on to win 11 Grand Slams, including four consecutive Wimbledon titles. He was world number 1 and the first and so far only player from New Zealand to have won a Grand Slam singles title.

Anthony Wilding was killed in action in France in 1915 - while fighting for the British army.

His great niece, Anna Wilding is a White House correspondent and says because he was from the colonies, the British have not given him the recognition he deserves.

1:25 Inconceivable - Dr Andrew Murray

Inconceivable is a six-part documentary series, that follows the hopes and struggles of eight couples, who are trying to conceive, by IVF.

Figures from Statistics New Zealand, show fertility and live birth rates have dropped significantly in New Zealand since the 1970's.

Dr Andrew Murray from Fertility Associates in Wellington discusses infertility and its possible causes.

2:20 Great New Zealand Album

This week's Great New Zealand Album, is the biggest in the career of a man who has entertained Kiwi's across five decades.  He's a former entertainer of the year and has been recognised for his contribution to music with a New Zealand Order of Merit and an honorary masters degree from Waikato University.  From humble, beginnings as the only Fender Stratocaster guitar owner in the North Island, this blues aficionado has taken his music to many corners of the globe and encouraged a number of high profile musicians to visit these shores.

Today's album under the spot light is "Burning Rain" by Midge Marsden.

3:10 Sylvia Patterson: I'm not with the band

In 1986, the Pet shop Boys, Madonna and Billy Ocean had number one singles on the Charts, Queen released A Kind of Magic, and a 20 year old woman, left Scotland for London to write for on one of the most popular pop music magazines of the time. As a writer for Smash Hits, Sylvia Patterson interviewed Amy Winehouse, shared a plum with Johnny Cash, was threatened by Eminem  and watched the music industry as she knew it completely change.

30 years later, Sylvia Patterson reflects on her own life, feminism in rock and roll and the demise of music journalism in her book, I'm Not with the Band: A Writer's Life Lost in Music.
