Havoc Presents Quality Time marked a new venture for Mikey Havoc. For the first time he flew solo — without his usual sidekick of Jeremy "Newsboy" Wells — and had moved from TVNZ to TV3. Each episode explores a different topic through a combination of sketches, interviews and other comedy bits, in a loose and chaotic style. The first episode was coming in hot, with the highly political themes of 9/11, the war on terror, and the United States as a world power. While in Wellington, Havoc tries to get an interview with the United States Ambassador to New Zealand, before a brief catchup with Prime Minister Helen Clark.
