00:00:26,373 --> 00:00:28,773
Speaker 2: three shows for us this morning. Let's start off with

7
00:00:28,893 --> 00:00:30,853
Speaker 2: the new one. Starr In Colin Firth is on TV

8
00:00:30,893 --> 00:00:33,333
Speaker 2: and Z Plus TV and Z one from tomorrow, tell

9
00:00:33,413 --> 00:00:35,573
Speaker 2: us about Lockerbee's search for a truth.

10
00:00:36,693 --> 00:00:36,853
Speaker 1: Here.

11
00:00:36,933 --> 00:00:39,973
Speaker 3: This is a new British drama about the Lockerby playing

12
00:00:40,013 --> 00:00:43,653
Speaker 3: disaster in December nineteen eighty eight, when a pan Am

13
00:00:43,733 --> 00:00:46,653
Speaker 3: flight from London to New York exploded midia over the

14
00:00:46,693 --> 00:00:49,333
Speaker 3: small Scottish town of Lockerby. And as You Say It

15
00:00:49,373 --> 00:00:52,493
Speaker 3: stars Colin Firth who plays the real life father of

16
00:00:52,573 --> 00:00:56,213
Speaker 3: one of the passengers who died. He plays Dr Jim Swire,

17
00:00:56,293 --> 00:00:59,493
Speaker 3: who was an English GP and when his daughter Flora

18
00:00:59,653 --> 00:01:03,053
Speaker 3: was killed, Jim became obsessed with finding out what really

19
00:01:03,093 --> 00:01:07,293
Speaker 3: happened and spent the next few decades up with journalists

20
00:01:07,333 --> 00:01:10,973
Speaker 3: and lobby and governments. And he was unrelenting and persistent

21
00:01:11,133 --> 00:01:14,053
Speaker 3: about uncovering the truth about who was responsible for the

22
00:01:14,093 --> 00:01:17,773
Speaker 3: bombing and went to some extraordinary lengths to get those answers,

23
00:01:17,853 --> 00:01:21,093
Speaker 3: and the drama captures all those details. It's a pretty

24
00:01:21,093 --> 00:01:24,893
Speaker 3: extraordinary story and it's told from Jim Swire's perspective, so

25
00:01:24,933 --> 00:01:28,533
Speaker 3: it's inspired by his own research. Colin Firth is very

26
00:01:28,573 --> 00:01:31,533
Speaker 3: good in this as the grieving father who just becomes

27
00:01:31,893 --> 00:01:35,893
Speaker 3: obsessed with getting justice. If the story does interest you,

28
00:01:36,173 --> 00:01:38,973
Speaker 3: there's also a good documentary series on Netflix called on

29
00:01:39,493 --> 00:01:42,613
Speaker 3: Neon called Lockerby that features the real Jim Swire, which

30
00:01:42,653 --> 00:01:45,213
Speaker 3: will give you a bit more real life background, but

31
00:01:45,853 --> 00:01:50,613
Speaker 3: the drama itself is a very compelling story that gives

32
00:01:51,093 --> 00:01:53,733
Speaker 3: a human insight into what is a really terrible tragedy.

33
00:01:53,813 --> 00:01:56,693
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, this sounds really interesting. Okay, Lockerby Search for Truth.

34
00:01:56,693 --> 00:01:59,493
Speaker 2: So that's on TVNZ one tomorrow and on TVNZ plus

35
00:01:59,493 --> 00:02:04,293
Speaker 2: of course on Netflix. You've seen Friends Like Her. Yeah.

36
00:02:04,293 --> 00:02:06,613
Speaker 3: Friends Like Her is a new Zealand drama that came

37
00:02:06,653 --> 00:02:09,253
Speaker 3: out early last year on three but it's just shifted

38
00:02:09,293 --> 00:02:12,013
Speaker 3: over to Netflix and is getting a brand new audience

39
00:02:12,053 --> 00:02:14,413
Speaker 3: both here and in Australia, which is why I wanted

40
00:02:14,413 --> 00:02:16,653
Speaker 3: to mention it again today because it's such a great

41
00:02:16,653 --> 00:02:18,773
Speaker 3: local drama. And if you missed it the first time

42
00:02:18,813 --> 00:02:22,413
Speaker 3: around on three, it's definitely worth catching on Netflix. This

43
00:02:22,573 --> 00:02:26,133
Speaker 3: is written by novelist Sarah Kate Lynch. It's a family

44
00:02:26,213 --> 00:02:29,573
Speaker 3: drama that turns into a thriller as it goes along,

45
00:02:29,773 --> 00:02:33,613
Speaker 3: and it's set in Caykolda after the twenty sixteen earthquake.

46
00:02:34,093 --> 00:02:37,493
Speaker 3: It stars MORGANA O'Reilly and Tess Halbrich. They play sisters

47
00:02:37,533 --> 00:02:40,733
Speaker 3: in law Nicole and Tess, and when the show begins,

48
00:02:40,813 --> 00:02:44,173
Speaker 3: Nicole is having a surrogate pregnancy for tests, but the

49
00:02:44,293 --> 00:02:46,933
Speaker 3: agreement between them goes wrong. Nicole wants to keep the

50
00:02:46,933 --> 00:02:50,573
Speaker 3: baby and it destroys the family. And they have this

51
00:02:51,293 --> 00:02:53,853
Speaker 3: secret in their past, these two women that they're both

52
00:02:53,933 --> 00:02:56,853
Speaker 3: desperate to keep hidden. But things start to snowball and

53
00:02:56,893 --> 00:02:59,773
Speaker 3: the secrets start to rise to the surface. And it's

54
00:02:59,813 --> 00:03:03,693
Speaker 3: all taking place in a community that has been damaged

55
00:03:03,693 --> 00:03:07,333
Speaker 3: and fractured physically and emotionally by the earthquake. And the

56
00:03:07,373 --> 00:03:11,253
Speaker 3: show really captures that feeling of small town New Zealand

57
00:03:11,293 --> 00:03:14,333
Speaker 3: where everyone knows everyone else's business. It's just a show

58
00:03:14,453 --> 00:03:18,933
Speaker 3: with great performances, well written, fantastic cast. You know, it's

59
00:03:18,933 --> 00:03:21,293
Speaker 3: a whole package and I'm so pleased that it's getting

60
00:03:21,533 --> 00:03:23,293
Speaker 3: out to a new audience on Netflix.

61
00:03:23,373 --> 00:03:25,013
Speaker 2: Oh so good. Oh it's really good to see it

62
00:03:25,053 --> 00:03:27,053
Speaker 2: up there. I thank you that friends like her on

63
00:03:27,093 --> 00:03:29,773
Speaker 2: Netflix and on Disney Plus High Potential.

64
00:03:31,133 --> 00:03:35,253
Speaker 3: Yeah, this is a new American crime drama. And if

65
00:03:35,253 --> 00:03:37,333
Speaker 3: you're a fan of shows like Monk or Matt Locke,

66
00:03:37,413 --> 00:03:39,533
Speaker 3: I think you're like this as well. It's a classic

67
00:03:39,893 --> 00:03:42,893
Speaker 3: fish out of water story and it's about a single

68
00:03:42,933 --> 00:03:46,293
Speaker 3: mother called Morgan who is raising three children. She works

69
00:03:46,293 --> 00:03:48,853
Speaker 3: at night as a cleaner at the local police station,

70
00:03:49,093 --> 00:03:53,293
Speaker 3: and she has this amazing brain, which means she processes

71
00:03:53,333 --> 00:03:56,613
Speaker 3: information differently and sees things that other people don't. And

72
00:03:56,653 --> 00:04:00,293
Speaker 3: she starts to solve these crimes in the office at night,

73
00:04:00,413 --> 00:04:03,853
Speaker 3: much to the annoyance of their detectives. And Morgan is

74
00:04:03,893 --> 00:04:06,933
Speaker 3: so good at it that they reluctantly have to start

75
00:04:06,973 --> 00:04:09,933
Speaker 3: bringing her in on their tricky cases, except that you know,

76
00:04:09,973 --> 00:04:12,733
Speaker 3: she's not a trained detective. She's a straight shooting, fast

77
00:04:12,773 --> 00:04:16,493
Speaker 3: talking heart of gold, single mum who doesn't really follow

78
00:04:16,533 --> 00:04:19,693
Speaker 3: the rules, which leads to a lot of chaos. It

79
00:04:19,853 --> 00:04:21,893
Speaker 3: is all a bit ridiculous, but I also thought it

80
00:04:21,933 --> 00:04:24,213
Speaker 3: was a bit of fun that you shouldn't take too seriously.

81
00:04:24,293 --> 00:04:27,173
Speaker 3: It stars Caitlin Olsen from Hacks, who holds the show

82
00:04:27,213 --> 00:04:28,053
Speaker 3: together beautifully.

83
00:04:29,093 --> 00:04:29,293
Speaker 1: You know.

84
00:04:29,613 --> 00:04:32,253
Speaker 3: It's far fetched, but it's also light and quirky and

85
00:04:32,253 --> 00:04:35,253
Speaker 3: there's a lot of charm. It's one of those formulaic

86
00:04:35,333 --> 00:04:37,053
Speaker 3: crime of the week kind of dramas. But it's a

87
00:04:37,053 --> 00:04:38,253
Speaker 3: really fun, easy.

88
00:04:38,013 --> 00:04:41,053
Speaker 2: Watch, a nice okay, cool that's high potential. It's on

89
00:04:41,133 --> 00:04:43,813
Speaker 2: Disney Plus. Friends Like Her is the Keiwi drama that's

90
00:04:43,813 --> 00:04:46,893
Speaker 2: on Netflix, sit and Kaikder and Lockerb. Search for a
