Then Again - Colin Broadley interview

Television (Excerpts) – 1986

Colin Broadley was part of the Kiwi soundtrack during a decade of dramatic change. A DJ on NZ's first pirate radio station, he was also hunky star of Runaway, the first local movie in 12 years. In 1986 'whatever happened to' style series Then Again found him in the Coromandel, where he was tending bees and living back to the basics. Broadley talks exciting times on the Radio Hauraki boat, and inside a cell; the perils of kissing Bond girl Nadja Regin in the Opononi mud; a near-fatal crash; visits to China, and his belief that modern day economics and land use are unsustainable.

When I came back to the Waikato on the train and saw how much of the country, good country, was being abused, ill-used or forgotten, I began to be aware how much more could be done, and how much potential there was here in New Zealand...
