Plots(1)

Discovery has set up camp in what it calls "downtown Sydney" tonight. This looks at the incredible amount of work that goes into the city's New Year's Eve celebrations.
There's dull stuff about the organising committee and traffic management but lots of interesting stuff about the fireworks.
Pyrotechnics guru Fortunato Foti (whose family business was founded in 18th-century Italy) explains the scale of his task in rigging up 100,000 fireworks on barges, roofs and the Sydney Harbour Bridge.
And he gives us a look inside a firework. I'm not sure that he needed those subtitles, though. He doesn't sound that ocker. (official distributor synopsis)
