Talk Talk - Series Four

Television (Full Length Episodes) – 2010

Add to watch list

Series four of Talk Talk brings another round of thoughtful interviews and live music to the screen. Across 15 episodes, host Finlay Macdonald shares the studio with a fresh line up of famous faces, politicians, musicians, scientists and writers, for candid one-on-one conversations. This series' guests include music legend Dave Dobbyn, former Governor-General Dame Sylvia Cartwright, author Charlotte Grimshaw and neuroscientist Richard Faull. Their conversations touch on everything from politics and poetry to identity and legacy. Each guest wraps up their episode by handpicking a musical act — or stepping up to the stage themself— for a live in-studio performance. Check out the episode guide here.

I can't sort of generalise about what other New Zealand writers are doing, but what I'm really interested in is writing about our contemporary New Zealand society, because I think it's really interesting. There's a hell of a lot going on, it's fascinating.
– Writer Charlotte Grimshaw on writing about contemporary New Zealand, in episode two
