The Eggplant - Full Series
Web (Full Length Episodes) – 2020
When a giant papier-mâché eggplant is found on the rugby field at Hilltop High, an investigation soon follows. But as Principal Morris (Wellington Paranormal's Karen O'Leary) and her sidekick (Tammy Davis from Outrageous Fortune) interrogate each suspect, they uncover deeper issues affecting the students' lives. Each webisode unveils a different story of one student's unfortunate experience with the internet. The quirky, award-winning web series was created to educate young Kiwis about the dangers of social media and the internet in the digital age. Episode six, which includes bloopers, was followed by a one-off special featuring Jack Tame (episode seven). Check out the episode guide here.
Um, stab in the dark but the large aubergine on the field, perhaps?– The response from Simon (Hamish Parkinson) when Principal Morris (Karen O'Leary) asks if the staff know why they're having an emergency meeting, in episode one
