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.

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.

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.

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.
