 Series Synopsis

Shortland Street is a fast-paced serial drama set in an eponymous inner city Auckland hospital. A South Pacific Pictures production, the iconic show is based around the births, deaths and marriages of the staff, family and patients. Screening on TVNZ’s TV2 network five days a week it is (as of 2009) into its 17th year of production, making it New Zealand’s longest running drama. Characters and lines from the show have entered the culture, most famously, “you’re not in Guatemala now, Dr Ropata!”.
