Dream Catchers - Full Series

This eight episode series introduces a raft of expat New Zealanders based in the United Kingdom. Celebrating success across business and the arts, the show is directed and presented by London-based expat Hilary Timmins (It's in the Bag). Each episode is built around a loose theme (see descriptions below the player), and features two or three interviews. In total, director and presenter Hillary Timmins talked to over 30 expats — from chefs (Peter Gordon) to aerobatic pilots (Emmet Cox) to performers (Jonathan Lemalu), to Piano production designer Andrew McAlpine and Emmy-nominated sound designer Blair Jollands (who also worked on the sound for Dream Catchers). 

...a lot of the firsts in this country have been New Zealanders, Australians, Americans, and I think it's partly because we don't know that we ought not to do it.

– Dame Judith Mayhew Jonas on the success of expats in England, early in episode four
