 Synopsis

Jeremy Wells examines New Zealand history in a revisionist light, poking fun at the pretence of the past. From the makers of Eating Media Lunch, the show is self-described as "the most important series in the history of history". Each episode is devoted to a particular issue - including how the country has been affected by Crime, Visitors, Trouble and Evil. The show draws its material mostly from television archive basements, with the odd piece of fakery and animation thrown in. Michael King this defiantly ain't!
