BryanShaw

Bryan Shaw's interest in working in television was sparked partly by his late father Barry Shaw, a longtime writer about television for The NZ Herald. 

In 1984 Shaw applied for a job at Northern Television and began working in the tape room, where each morning boss Graeme Douglas would ask him if he knew what he was doing. If Shaw said yes, the reply was usually "pig's arse"; if Shaw admitted he had no idea, he was told to carry on.
