Off the Radar - Is Modern Christmas Sustainable?

Television (Excerpts) – 2008

This is the Christmas episode of comedian Te Radar's green living series. In this excerpt, he prepares lunch for 17 family members, using only food he has hunted or grown himself. The turkey shoot (with a little help from his long-suffering neighbour) reveals him to be a better shot than a spotter. Then it's on to preparations for lunch, which include removing "organic matter" from the dining area. His young nephews and nieces are given a glimpse of the wonder of new life, but are not spared the harsh realities of just where lunch is coming from.

Here's a toast to the fact that you've raised a son who now lives in a caravan in the middle of a paddock — you must all be so proud!
– Te Radar’s Christmas toast to his parents
