Takatāpui was the world's first indigenous gay, lesbian and transgender series. Produced by Front of the Box Productions for Maori Television the show was magazine-styled with a Māori queer focus. It was light-entertainment but not afraid to delve into some hard-hitting issues affecting the takatāpui communities all over New Zealand. Presented by transgender singer Ramon Te Wake, Taurewa Biddle (with his distinctive facial moko) and Tania Simon.

One of the best, if not THE best, series of high interest ever to be produced in Aotearoa/New Zealand. Totally choice!
