Overview

Greenstone TV is best known for its factual content, but the company's range is so diverse, it's hard to know where to begin. Observational shows like The Zoo and Motorway Patrol both had epic runs on air. Greenstone has also made apocalyptic teen dramas (The Cul de Sac), Lucy Lawless hit My Life is Murder, and a gaggle of documentaries and factual series. In this 30th anniversary collection, Greenstone founder John Harris recalls the good old days, and making overseas sales; and current Chief Executive Rachel Antony talks about changing times, 30th birthday parties, and her "clever, kind, kick-ass" team.

“I was in a tourist shop in Namibia, about to buy a wooden trinket. The cashier heard my accent, looked at my desired purchase and said ‘Kiwi? Seriously man, you can’t take this to New Zealand; don’t you watch Border Patrol?’”

— ex Greenstone Managing Director Richard Driver
