Biography
Bruce Morrison grew up "middle class" in Dunedin. In 1966 he abandoned arts studies at Otago University to work part-time at regional television channel DNTV2. The fascination of television soon pulled him in full-time. "We learned as we went along," recalls Morrison. "From that point of view it was a good time to be in television — I was able to experiment."
