Actor Michael Hurst began life in northern England, then moved to Christchurch at age eight. In this episode of Here to Stay Hurst looks at the elements of Kiwi culture that derive from mother England - including roasts, rugby, and the Mini, as well as a language and legal system. Hurst heads to the East Coast (to meet the English-Māori Ormond family), to Mt Peel, Kapiti Island, and Christ's College, and goes ... Morris dancing. A chorus of Kiwis, including rugby player Frank Bunce, actor Tim Balme and historian Jock Phillips, ponder the influence.
