OK, that looks really good from the first couple of minutes watched at work. And even better, I can apparently watch Maori TV from Oz. By the look of it that might double my TV time for the next week or two.

Good to see some more coverage on the prisons issue, Russell. I too, have had a chat with those who know MECF well, and the place isn't designed well enough to afford understaffing. Prisons are places with high risks, but not to the point that you just succumb to them…

One interesting point on which both Ant and Tom agreed was that the video-on-demand market is undeveloped in New Zealand. In larger markets, it's already a key element of distribution.

Ihug founder Tim Wood and his wife Sasha, have brought private money and business sense. It’s very notable that the Woods’ $500,000 investment in The Dark Horse has already been returned.

The Dark Horse is also a film that's had a low-key but pretty astute international release — just getting…

It’s also unfortunate that it takes the use smuggled technology to illegaly film the domestic violence, for it to be taken seriously. Can’t we be a little bit more egalitarian?

How about "Prison TV"?
I'm sure Julie Christie and TV3 could put a package together, after all, their studios are…

Fight club, that’s an unfortunate phrase – for anyone remanded in custody. It’s domestic violence. But it’s a remand prision, everyone detained there is presumed to have done something wrong, so it’s less not ok:(

But, but, later on GE interviewed Nikki http://www.propellorproperties.co.nz/ Connors,
and just when we were wondering how much she paid to get on Natrad...Espiner cut her off. http://www.radionz.co.nz/national/programmes/morningreport/audio/201765211/as-auckland-prices-rise,-investors-look-to-other-nz-centres

Loss adjustment…
Sad that Maori TV / NZ on Air (?) can only see their way clear to support 20 weeks of excellent analysis and the reading-between-the-lines that our connected 24/7/365 electronic news and current affairs culture needs – so we’ll just have to struggle through the other 32 weeks…

his hat

A simple, effective, and very well used device for making a point. I also liked the Wai Worry ads. Not so simple, just just as effective.

Should be compulsory viewing

Following your directive Hilary....

It is programmes of this quality which almost make me feel disadvantaged not having a telly.

Toi has talent.

Loved that Get Your Arse Off the Table programme last night. A light and entertaining look at the very serious issue of tikanga which causes all sorts of anxiety, tension and misunderstanding. Should be compulsory viewing for schools, hospitals, businesses, organisations, or anyone anywhere across NZ. (Might need to change…
