Kyota Tara, good morning. Yes, 6 00:00:22,493 --> 00:00:25,973 Speaker 2: let's start off with Miriam Marghalie. She's been in Australia, 7 00:00:26,053 --> 00:00:28,333 Speaker 2: now she is in New Zealand. Miriam Marghley's in New 8 00:00:28,413 --> 00:00:30,253 Speaker 2: Zealand kicks off this weekend. 9 00:00:31,013 --> 00:00:34,013 Speaker 3: Yeah. This is a new documentary series that starts tomorrow 10 00:00:34,133 --> 00:00:36,973 Speaker 3: night and it's presented by the wonderful Miriam Marglees, who 11 00:00:37,493 --> 00:00:40,813 Speaker 3: some might know for her acting work on TV and films, 12 00:00:40,933 --> 00:00:44,173 Speaker 3: or from her appearances on The Great Norton Show, or 13 00:00:44,213 --> 00:00:47,533 Speaker 3: from her travel documentaries where she travels around Australia and 14 00:00:47,653 --> 00:00:50,613 Speaker 3: Scotland and a camper van. And now she's in New Zealand. 15 00:00:50,653 --> 00:00:53,173 Speaker 3: She lives in Australia, but she's never been here before 16 00:00:53,333 --> 00:00:56,453 Speaker 3: and she's curious to find out what makes us different 17 00:00:56,813 --> 00:00:59,853 Speaker 3: to Australia, What is the New Zealand identity? And so 18 00:01:00,453 --> 00:01:02,893 Speaker 3: she hires a camper van and drives around the country 19 00:01:02,933 --> 00:01:05,573 Speaker 3: and talks to different people about what it means to 20 00:01:05,613 --> 00:01:08,773 Speaker 3: them to be a new Zeander And I love this 21 00:01:08,853 --> 00:01:11,133 Speaker 3: a lot mostly because of Maria Margley, who if you've 22 00:01:11,173 --> 00:01:14,173 Speaker 3: ever seen or heard an interview with her, she's very funny, 23 00:01:14,253 --> 00:01:17,853 Speaker 3: she's blunt, and she is honest, but she's also very 24 00:01:17,893 --> 00:01:21,413 Speaker 3: curious and interested and she's all of those things here, 25 00:01:21,613 --> 00:01:24,093 Speaker 3: and I like that this is more than just your 26 00:01:24,133 --> 00:01:27,293 Speaker 3: typical travel documentary as well. It's much all thoughtful than that. 27 00:01:27,693 --> 00:01:31,213 Speaker 3: So she does go to Hobbiton and a Hurricanes rugby game, 28 00:01:31,253 --> 00:01:34,853 Speaker 3: but she also goes to the Mango, a refugee resettlement center. 29 00:01:34,933 --> 00:01:38,173 Speaker 3: She meets a nun in Typer Monastery, she watches the 30 00:01:38,173 --> 00:01:40,973 Speaker 3: Black Friends train, she meets a real variety of people, 31 00:01:41,053 --> 00:01:44,533 Speaker 3: and she is genuinely interested in them and their stories. 32 00:01:44,533 --> 00:01:47,173 Speaker 3: So it's a lovely watch. It shows us who we 33 00:01:47,213 --> 00:01:50,213 Speaker 3: are in a lot of different ways. Episode one is 34 00:01:50,213 --> 00:01:52,813 Speaker 3: on tomorrow night. It's free to air on Sky Open 35 00:01:52,933 --> 00:01:55,173 Speaker 3: and it will also be streaming on Neon as well 36 00:01:55,173 --> 00:01:56,013 Speaker 3: from tomorrow. 37 00:01:56,053 --> 00:01:58,333 Speaker 2: Fantastic. Yeah, really looking forward to that. She's such a 38 00:01:58,413 --> 00:02:01,893 Speaker 2: character but, like you say, really kind of curious in 39 00:02:01,893 --> 00:02:04,053 Speaker 2: a non judgmental way, which I think, yeah, makes it 40 00:02:05,533 --> 00:02:09,533 Speaker 2: magic TV on Netflix Apple side of vinegar. 41 00:02:10,733 --> 00:02:14,093 Speaker 3: Yeah, this is a new Australian drama and it's inspired 42 00:02:14,133 --> 00:02:17,053 Speaker 3: by a true story about a woman named Bell Gibson 43 00:02:17,093 --> 00:02:21,133 Speaker 3: who in the twenty tens became known as this Instagram 44 00:02:21,333 --> 00:02:25,253 Speaker 3: wellness guru. She claims she has healed herself of cancer 45 00:02:25,293 --> 00:02:29,453 Speaker 3: by using different alternative therapies, and people believed her. They 46 00:02:29,533 --> 00:02:32,733 Speaker 3: bought all the things that she was selling in the 47 00:02:32,733 --> 00:02:36,213 Speaker 3: belief that they too could be cured. The trouble was 48 00:02:36,333 --> 00:02:39,213 Speaker 3: that Bell Gibson was faking her illnesses. She did not 49 00:02:39,333 --> 00:02:42,973 Speaker 3: have cancer, and eventually she was found out and publicly 50 00:02:43,013 --> 00:02:47,053 Speaker 3: exposed as a scammer. And this series is about why 51 00:02:47,093 --> 00:02:50,253 Speaker 3: Belle did this, but it's also about the rise of 52 00:02:50,253 --> 00:02:54,293 Speaker 3: social media and influences and misinformation and how that form 53 00:02:54,333 --> 00:02:57,053 Speaker 3: of media means you can portray yourself in a certain 54 00:02:57,093 --> 00:03:01,013 Speaker 3: way and it's hard to challenge that. Belle is played 55 00:03:01,053 --> 00:03:04,413 Speaker 3: by Haitlin Deaver, who is American, but who pulls off 56 00:03:04,413 --> 00:03:08,213 Speaker 3: the most amazing Australian acts I've heard on TV. It's 57 00:03:08,213 --> 00:03:11,613 Speaker 3: pretty flawless, yet he's incredible. And a couple of other 58 00:03:11,613 --> 00:03:13,773 Speaker 3: things about this one. This is a show that you 59 00:03:13,933 --> 00:03:16,773 Speaker 3: have to concentrate on. It's not quite sure how it 60 00:03:16,813 --> 00:03:19,093 Speaker 3: wants to tell the story, so there's lots of different 61 00:03:19,173 --> 00:03:22,613 Speaker 3: voiceovers and time jumps, so it can be quite confusing. 62 00:03:23,013 --> 00:03:24,613 Speaker 3: And of course the other thing is that there's a 63 00:03:24,653 --> 00:03:27,333 Speaker 3: lot of medical treatments and cancer related scenes in this 64 00:03:27,453 --> 00:03:30,773 Speaker 3: which may not be for everybody. But otherwise this is 65 00:03:30,813 --> 00:03:34,093 Speaker 3: a sharp, smart series. Some dry Australian humor in here 66 00:03:34,133 --> 00:03:37,293 Speaker 3: as well, and it's just about it. Quite an unbelievable 67 00:03:37,333 --> 00:03:38,893 Speaker 3: and quite a sad story as well. 68 00:03:39,213 --> 00:03:41,973 Speaker 2: Yeah, okay, cool, that sounds interesting. Appleside a vidiot that's 69 00:03:42,013 --> 00:03:44,973 Speaker 2: on Netflix and on Neon. You've got a couple of 70 00:03:45,053 --> 00:03:46,333 Speaker 2: seasons of Grace. 71 00:03:47,333 --> 00:03:49,693 Speaker 3: Yeah. This is a new police drama. It's has come 72 00:03:49,733 --> 00:03:52,333 Speaker 3: to Neon. It's based on a series of books by 73 00:03:52,333 --> 00:03:56,493 Speaker 3: Peter James and has been adapted for TV by Russell Lewis, 74 00:03:56,493 --> 00:03:59,573 Speaker 3: who's written shows like Endeavor and Sharp and so if 75 00:03:59,573 --> 00:04:02,733 Speaker 3: you like those quieter kinds of crime dramas, I think 76 00:04:02,733 --> 00:04:05,133 Speaker 3: you'll like this as well. This is set in Brighton. 77 00:04:05,533 --> 00:04:08,813 Speaker 3: It's about a troubled police detective, because they are always 78 00:04:08,853 --> 00:04:12,653 Speaker 3: troubled police detectives, played by Johns, whose wife went missing 79 00:04:12,653 --> 00:04:15,893 Speaker 3: five years ago. He is very talented at his job, 80 00:04:15,933 --> 00:04:19,253 Speaker 3: but is still coming to terms with his wife's disappearance, 81 00:04:19,333 --> 00:04:21,573 Speaker 3: and in the first series he has to deal with 82 00:04:21,973 --> 00:04:23,813 Speaker 3: the case of a missing property developer. 83 00:04:24,173 --> 00:04:25,013 Speaker 2: And it's a. 84 00:04:24,933 --> 00:04:29,613 Speaker 3: Pretty formulaic, reliable British police procedural. You know, there's no violence, 85 00:04:29,693 --> 00:04:33,173 Speaker 3: it's not particularly gritty. It's a pretty safe watch, pretty understated. 86 00:04:33,613 --> 00:04:36,213 Speaker 3: Johnson is great in this and there's lots of twist 87 00:04:36,253 --> 00:04:38,453 Speaker 3: and turns to keep you watching. I think it's one 88 00:04:38,493 --> 00:04:43,093 Speaker 3: for lovers of a British drama that appreciate more of 89 00:04:43,133 --> 00:04:46,013 Speaker 3: that quiet dialogue and slower pace rather than needing those 90 00:04:46,013 --> 00:04:47,893 Speaker 3: big stunts and actioncy. 91 00:04:47,533 --> 00:04:50,133 Speaker 2: Yeah, nice, Okay, this sounds good though. That's Grace that's 92 00:04:50,173 --> 00:04:52,973 Speaker 2: on Neon. Apple Side of Vininger is on Netflix, and 93 00:04:53,133 --> 00:04:56,573 Speaker 2: Miriam Marghlie's in New Zealand is on Sky Open. It's 94 00:04:56,613 --> 00:04:59,373 Speaker 2: seven thirty tomorrow night in streaming on Neon as well. 95 00:04:59,453 --> 00:05:01,333 Speaker 2: We'll have all the details of those shows on the 96 00:05:01,373 --> 00:05:02,893 Speaker 2: News Dog Z'DB website. 97 00:05:03,213 --> 00:05:06,293 Speaker 1: For more from Saturday Morning with Jack team, listen live 98 00:05:06,453 --> 00:05:09,253 Speaker 1: to News Talks ed B from nine am Saturday, or 99 00:05:09,333 --> 00:05:11,213 Speaker 1: follow the podcast on iHeartRadio.
