TV work
Here is a selection of some of the TV shows I have had the pleasure and the privilege of working on over the last few years.
2017
Te Radar’s Chequered Past (TVNZ)
2017 Nominated: Best Factual Series, NZ TV Awards
“No stranger to the small screen, this time Radar has literally pushed the boat out in eight half-hour episodes celebrating our rich tapestry of eccentrics, adventurers, rascals and dreamers”

2012
Best Bits (TVNZ)
Te Radar hosts Best Bits, a sharp new comedy series that takes cleverly selected television moments from the week and creates a weekly half hour of comedy havoc.
2005
B and B (Maori Television)
Shot before a live audience, the show merged a chat show with sitcom elements. Te Radar and Hori Ahipene played a mixed race couple who interviewed two guests each episode, at their fictional bed and breakfast. In one episode Radar’s nerdy anthropologist character donned a suit of armour to marry Ahipene’s character.
1998
Homegrown (TVNZ)
Te Radar wrote, and fronted this light-hearted journey through the history of some of New Zealand’s greatest natural resources – our famous food and beverages, our illustrious fibre and fleece, from precious metals under the ground to the seafood in our abundant waters.
1998
Hidden In The Numbers (TVNZ)
In 2006 Te Radar fronted a three-part documentary Hidden in the Numbers, which examined the changing face of New Zealand.
1998
News Flash (TVNZ)
This show combined some of New Zealand’s most seasoned television comedians with some fresh stand-up comedy talent and centred on the antics of the television journalists working on a small news / magazine style television show.
1998
Pulp Comedy (TVNZ)
The iconic TV stand up show was established to capitalise on the country’s burgeoning early 90s stand-up scene. Te Radar appeared in 6 series.
1994
A Bit More After 10 (TVNZ)
In 1994 Te Radar entered this comedic TV Talent quest, and after scoring the highest of anyone in the first round, made it all the way to the final.
