THE UNAUTHORISED HISTORY OF NEW ZEALAND. FOLLY

“Who are we? Who were we? How are we now? The Unauthorised History of New Zealand delves into the deepest recesses of the history books and television archives, to tell what promises to be the definitive story of Aotearoa, just below Australia.
It may well be the most important series in the history of history, according to presenter Jeremy Wells, who describes it as a ‘landmark of televisual excellence.’" TVNZ; tvnz.co.nz; 10/04/2007

Jeremy Wells looks at New Zealand’s tragic history of folly; the mistakes made in moments of inspiration such as Chief Wikipedia’s Pancake Rock Sculptures, Suzanne Paul’s Maori Village, Martin Crowe’s hair, the camel toe epidemic of the 1970s (brought about by foolishly tight pants), the introduction of domestic cats, the New Zealand Space Programme and inane world record attempts.

With Catherine Saunders, Dave Fane, Sir Robert Jones, Prof. Michael Taylor.
