1985 Television
  • Comedy
  • Adaptation

In this episode of the classic office comedy, the team find themselves saddled with the task of mentoring Whetu (Open House's Christina Asher), a young student, as part of a work experience scheme. The office attempts to share all they know about the world of paperwork and files. Meanwhile, Whetu gathers signatures for a petition advocating for more Māori programming. Beryl is on a mission to charm her co-workers into buying raffle tickets, and learning some te reo — including a begrudging Jim. The show marked an early producing credit for actor Ginette McDonald, who also directed this episode.
