At home with Julia

Posted by on September 15th, 2011

This is seriously cool. It’s become a bit of a hit I understand. Wish we could do this stuff here. To the same quality.

Perhaps if we had a real public broadcaster. We certainly have the talent and the creativity. Just not the political will to back public broadcasting which believes in more than the next reality TV show.

Having the piss taken out of you is part of this business (as I’m realising). I reckon we’d be better off for a bit more satire and humour (and quality).

I hope the ABC makes the episodes available for a NZ audience too.

  1. We already get enough laughs from the New Zealand Liarbour Party.
    We don’t need TVNZ or Touchdown to give us anymore!

    We already do. Available on the Right here.

    Very funny. Her numbers will improve. But knowing how the ABC protects their product, we are unlikely to see it, Clare.

    More taxpayer money for politicians to see themselves on TV.

    Get bent. The degree to which you are out of touch is incredible.

    PMOFNZ, while the subtitles may be original, the orginal use of this footage is even funnier.

    John Clark is the King of downunder political satire and Michael if you think a political satire show that pokes fun AT politicians wouldn’t rate well, you sir, are out of touch.

    You want it, you pay for it.

    Or even better, a whip round from your wealthy South Dunedin constituents.

    Makes perfect sense.

    Clare,

    I’ve raised this before. Your little fantasy is only possible if Labour reverse the law that Mallard introduced stating that Politicians were not to be ridiculed.

    That law was the death of the excellent FaceLift.
