NEARLY 500 days of house arrest in Britain has not stopped WikiLeaks editor Julian Assange from completing interviews with politicians, revolutionaries and intellectuals for a television series to be broadcast later this month.

Assange announced yesterday he had completed 12 episodes of The World Tomorrow, a series that includes interviews with Malaysian Opposition Leader Anwar Ibrahim, and Moncef Marzouki, the human rights activist who was elected interim president of Tunisia last December.

The WikiLeaks founder yesterday highlighted ''the eruption of revolutionary ferment in the Middle East and the emergence of new protest movements in the Euro-American world'' and said the aim of his TV series was ''to capture and present some of this revolutionary spirit to a global audience.''

In a recent interview with The Saturday Age, Mr Assange applauded Mr Marzouki as ''a rare politician'', who ''says it like it is'' and was ''unafraid to speak candidly of the compromises he has had to make in times of revolution and turmoil''.

Other interviewees understood to be included in what Assange described as an ''eclectic array'' include American conservative writer and policy advocate David Horowitz, a prominent exiled Iranian opposition leader, an Egyptian revolutionary also under house arrest, and, in what appears to be a journalistic coup, a prominent figure in a major political group listed as a terrorist organisation in the US, Britain and Australia. The identities of all participants are yet to be publicly disclosed.

Assange said he thought the show's strength would lie in its ''frank and irreverent tone''.

The first episode will be aired on RT, the Russian English language broadcaster, and released online on Tuesday. Assange said he was responsible for all editorial decisions.

Assange is awaiting a British Supreme Court decision on his appeal against extradition to Sweden to be questioned in relation to sexual assault allegations. He fears extradition to Stockholm will open the way for his extradition to the US.
