Synopsis

Popular consumer affairs show Fair Go is one of New Zealand TV's longest-running series. This episode - presented by current (and longest serving) host, Kevin Milne - looks back at 30 years and 860+ shows of Fair Go. Amidst regular Fair Go stories, there is a flashback to original host Brian Edward's 1977 debut; retro segments on soapbox rights in Christchurch Square, blocked gutters, and neighbours at war; a 1982 spoof on the struggle to open screw tops on soft drink bottles; and a 1980 survey of NZ's most untrustworthy occupations (lawyers, car dealers).
