November 29th 2006 01:24
The Insiders Guide to Love scooped the drama prizes at the 2006 Qantas Television Awards in the award ceremony in Auckland last week, taking the prize for Best Actor, Best Actress, Best Drama, Best Camera, Best Director for a drama, and Best Script.
The seven-part series was about seven people's lives shaped after each one went through a sudden, unexpected bizarre incident.
Chatterpillar reviewed two of the episodes:
Who Taught You To Love?
It's Halloween and Nicole wants to do something wild, so she makes a steal and admires a wedding dress. But soon the loot is lost and a chase is on. Who does Zoe see on the other side? Maxine catches Marty with another woman, rids herself of all of traces of Marty in her life and chases her singing dream with Tom.

I do find it a little strange that Qantas, the 'spirit of Australia' sponsors these New Zealand television awards. Still, with Australia and NZ being such as short geographic and psychic distance, we might as well combine as one television industry. Perhaps then we'd get some more decent programmes!

About the only regular channel regularised Kiwi showing that I'm aware of is Friday Highway Patrol.
The casual approach Aucklanders show when stopped for not having a current vehicle warrant of fitness (car rego) always makes me smile. "Didn't know it had expired, eh," says the big chap. To which the patrol woman replies, "Well we can't let you drive it. Jump in, we'll give you a lift home."
Here in NSW it would be, "Get yourself a cab, mate."
