HUH?

Miss Mohammed again. Two graphics in your "Things that make you go Huh?" segment: "Swaratsingh was once a Catholic priest" and "Priests know about keeping people's secrets".
We don't quite know what to make of those statements. Well the first one is factual, but the second one?
So if the only reason Swaratsingh is keeping the secret of the ratters is because he was trained to do so as a priest, what's the reason all the other ratters, including presumably Hazel Manning, are holding their tongues? Perhaps Mr Swaratsingh has been giving lessons? Or perhaps the ratters congregate around their Christmas DVD "Silence of the Lambs" as suggested by Gail Alexander?

And TV6 it's commendable that you named Che your first good samaritan angel, but Miss Gulston's story was confusing.
First of all the lead paragraph for the story read by Samantha John clued us in that the accident victim was a staffer from your company. And while we saw Sasha Mohammed handing over the flowers to Che and a shot of her sitting next to him halfway through the story, you never told us it was her until the story was almost over.
Then you said "what really strucked her..."
And while Samantha said viewers could call 623-5337 if they wanted to nominate a good samaritan, the number we saw on the screen was 623-6557.
