Throughout 2021, 'Afternoons with Jesse Mulligan' on Radio New Zealand shone a spotlight on a fondly remembered Kiwi TV show each Thursday. The audio-only series features interviews with key talent who were involved in each production. Take a walk down memory lane.
New Zealand's longest running soap opera, Shortland Street, was met with much disappointment from audiences when it first aired in 1992. But the show has since managed to win people over to remain a television staple. Original executive producer Chris Bailey, first assistant director Carmen Leonard, and actor Michael Galvin join Jesse Mulligan to talk about the show's early years.
