Diplomatic Immunity - First Episode
Television (Full Length Episode) – 2008
In the first episode of this madcap sitcom, fallen Foreign Affairs high flyer Leighton Mills (Craig Parker) arrives at the Auckland consulate of The Most Royal Kingdom of Fe'ausi, with orders to whip the office into shape — an outcome its loquacious ambassador (David Fane) would rather avoid. Mills meets the possibly corrupt staff, including "lady-lover" Malepe Fa'auigaese (Mario Gaoa), Tourist Liason Suga Fa'auigaese (Kayte Ferguson) and the ambassador's daughter Leilani (Lesley Ann Brandt), who claims she's a political prisoner. The show was created by James Griffin (Outrageous Fortune, Serial Killers).
Yo, yo, yo this is DJ Lady Killer, Party Filler, filling the yard with love....– Cultural Liason 'DJ' Malepe Fa'auigaese (Mario Gaoa) gets the welcome party started
