Synopsis

In the second episode of this drama based on the 1888-89 tour of Great Britain by the NZ Natives rugby team, Pony — one of the side’s stars — is courted by society and invited to shoot with the Prince of Wales; and his Māori blood is also a novelty in the music halls. He’s hoping to renew his acquaintance with Charlotte — the granddaughter of a rugby loving Earl — but there are matches to be played in London. Locating his English father is far from heart warming, but his disappointment is more than compensated for as Charlotte follows him to the city.

Quotes

One loss after I don’t know how many wins and we’re back to being heathens. 
I had never worked in my home country - which is Scotland - on any major project, so I jumped at the chance. It was an enormously pleasurable film to make. I’d never met Maoris before and I found them absolutely enchanting.
