Fair Go - 30 Years on Television

Television (Full Length Episode) – 2007

Fair Go is one of New Zealand TV's longest-running series. This episode — presented by its longest-serving host, Kevin Milne — looks back at 30 years and 860+ episodes of the popular consumer affairs show. Amidst regular Fair Go stories, there is a flashback to the 1977 debut of original host Brian Edwards; 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).
