A Week of It - First Episode

Television (Full Length Episode) – 1977

A Week of It was a pioneering satire series that entertained and outraged audiences from 1977 to 1979, with its irreverent take at topical issues. The debut episode opens with an investigation into what Labour politician Bill Rowling is like in bed, and then Prime Minister Muldoon gets a lei (!).
