Loose Enz - Graham's Mum and the Goulden Tour

Television (Full Length) – 1982

This off-the-wall comedy of errors — from the Loose Enz series — sees hapless tour operator Graham (Ian Watkin) and his wide boy driver Ron (John Bach) leading a busload of international visitors (well) off the beaten trail. the teleplay neatly skewers clichéd promotional travelogue commentaries (with the music of Sibelius never far away) and takes broader shots at the tourists’ various cultural stereotypes. With Graham well-meaning but dim, and Ron too busy looking after number one, Graham’s mum (a formidable Yvonne Lawley) and enterprising local Iwi come into their own as hosts.

We made two hundred million dollars last year out of tourism. Four hundred thousand tourists, All I want, Ron, is our fair share.
– Graham Goulden (Ian Watkin)
