Blokes 'n' Sheds is a documentary where you'll find the content is exactly as titled: a tour of selected New Zealand blokes in their sheds, with the affable Jim Hopkins as tour guide. Based on Hopkins' best-selling book Blokes and Sheds (1998) the television version was made with the direct uncomplicated style that is a hallmark of Dunedin's Taylormade Productions. The contents of the sheds in question include vintage cars, oversize traction engines, a self-designed plane, and an old paddle-boat from the Whanganui River.
At the office, Nick's the complete executive. But when his day's work is done he comes home to his shed, and to his real passion: building things with his hands which can then take pride of place in his newly renovated home.– Presenter Jim Hopkins describes Nick’s carpentry workshop, early in clip two
