Fair Go

Television, 1977–2024

Popular consumer affairs show Fair Go was one of New Zealand television's longest-running shows. It began in 1977, devised by Brian Edwards and producer Peter Morritt. The TVNZ programme mixed investigative reporting (daring to "name names" and expose rip-off merchants everywhere) with light-hearted segments. The show's roster of presenters included Edwards, Philip Alpers, Judith Fyfe, Hugo Manson, Kerre McIvor (née Woodham), Carol Hirschfeld, Gordon Harcourt, and its longest-serving host, Kevin Milne. A perennial favourite was the end-of-year round-up of ad campaigns.
