Austria kidnap girl aims for TV

Natascha is in great demand from the Austrian media

Former Austrian kidnap victim Natascha Kampusch has said she is hoping to present a television talk show.

The 19-year-old told an Austrian magazine a monthly half-hour programme would be broadcast by a private channel set to be launched next year.

Ms Kampusch was snatched on her way to school aged 10 and held for eight years. Her captor, Wolfgang Priklopil, killed himself after her escape.

Ms Kampusch has been the subject of media fascination since her escape.

"[My guests] could be famous people, but also very ordinary ones - just anyone who has a story to tell really," she told the News magazine in an interview published on Wednesday.

"I don't want to just skim the surface in these conversations, I want to go deeper."

The channel, Puls 4, said Ms Kampusch had approached them with the idea.
