(working title “Seven Faces of New Zealand).

If you could visit a place in New Zealand for three or four days, where would you choose? And what would govern your decision? Nostalgia; a feeling for history or folk lore; an appreciation of the open spaces or perhaps a liking for the diversity and pace that is part of city life?

Each week, in this seven part 15-minutes series, a well-known New Zealander visited a part of the country of particular interest to them. The personalities involved represented a wide range of occupations and this was reflected in the differing areas that have been chosen and the varied reason behind their choices.
