Jim Hopkins's screen career has ranged from science reporting to shed anthropology. The long-time public speaker has been an NZ Herald columnist, talkback radio host, “thoroughly boring” Waitaki district councillor, and author (Blokes in Sheds; later a documentary). Though his television encounters have often been quirky or comedic, Hopkins has also done time as a straight reporter (80s science show Fast Forward).
Come on, Wallywood. Show some skerrick of imagination. Cast off the corsets of rectitude. Don't be vulgar, be really vulgar. Don't be tacky, be 3D tacky. Try "Naff off!" in neon, or "We don't like being here either".
– Jim Hopkins in the NZ Herald, on proposals to erect a Wellywood sign near Wellington airport
