Speaker 2: Tara Award is here with her three picks for us

6
00:00:20,813 --> 00:00:24,773
Speaker 2: this week. Gilda Tara KYOUDA, good morning. Okay, let's begin

7
00:00:25,013 --> 00:00:28,013
Speaker 2: with the show streaming on TVNZ Plus from tomorrow, tell

8
00:00:28,093 --> 00:00:29,093
Speaker 2: Us About Ludwig.

9
00:00:29,973 --> 00:00:33,013
Speaker 3: Yeah. This is a delightful new British crime drama that

10
00:00:33,093 --> 00:00:37,213
Speaker 3: starts tomorrow. It stars British comedian David Mitchell who plays

11
00:00:37,573 --> 00:00:41,133
Speaker 3: a guy called John Taylor. And John is an introverted

12
00:00:41,733 --> 00:00:45,333
Speaker 3: genius puzzle setter, so his job is to create the

13
00:00:45,333 --> 00:00:47,973
Speaker 3: crosswords and the puzzles that people do each day in

14
00:00:48,013 --> 00:00:51,293
Speaker 3: the newspaper. And he's contacted by his sister in law

15
00:00:51,333 --> 00:00:54,853
Speaker 3: who is worried about John's identical twin brother, James. And

16
00:00:54,933 --> 00:00:57,813
Speaker 3: James is a detective who has disappeared on a job

17
00:00:58,013 --> 00:01:02,053
Speaker 3: and John is persuaded against his better judgment to impersonate

18
00:01:02,093 --> 00:01:05,453
Speaker 3: his brother, to infiltrate the police system and to work

19
00:01:05,453 --> 00:01:08,573
Speaker 3: out where his brother is and what's going on. He

20
00:01:08,613 --> 00:01:10,893
Speaker 3: gets caught up in the case and because his natural

21
00:01:10,933 --> 00:01:14,173
Speaker 3: talent is puzzle solving and logic. He starts putting all

22
00:01:14,213 --> 00:01:17,253
Speaker 3: the pieces together on the case that his brother is

23
00:01:17,253 --> 00:01:19,533
Speaker 3: working on and begins to solve that. And I mean

24
00:01:19,573 --> 00:01:21,213
Speaker 3: it sounds a bit far fetched, but it is a

25
00:01:21,253 --> 00:01:23,653
Speaker 3: lot of fun. It's the perfect kind of show to

26
00:01:23,733 --> 00:01:27,093
Speaker 3: watch on a Sunday night. It's light and cozy, and

27
00:01:27,133 --> 00:01:29,453
Speaker 3: it's a funny show, which you don't get very often

28
00:01:29,493 --> 00:01:33,573
Speaker 3: with a detective series. And the humor is because John

29
00:01:33,653 --> 00:01:35,533
Speaker 3: is such a fish out of water. He would rather

30
00:01:35,613 --> 00:01:38,933
Speaker 3: be at home doing puzzles than being out in the

31
00:01:38,973 --> 00:01:43,133
Speaker 3: real world with all its noise and annoying people. You know,

32
00:01:43,173 --> 00:01:45,933
Speaker 3: he's quite an awkward, grumpy guy. And if you've seen

33
00:01:46,013 --> 00:01:48,533
Speaker 3: David Mitchell on any sort of British comedy panel show,

34
00:01:48,933 --> 00:01:51,493
Speaker 3: this feels very much like that he was born for.

35
00:01:52,013 --> 00:01:53,493
Speaker 3: This is great. I really enjoyed this one.

36
00:01:53,573 --> 00:01:57,533
Speaker 2: Okay, great. I love David Mitchell. He's so witty, I just.

37
00:01:59,133 --> 00:01:59,613
Speaker 3: So quick.

38
00:01:59,933 --> 00:02:02,053
Speaker 2: Yeah. I mean it's like a sense of humor that

39
00:02:02,133 --> 00:02:04,613
Speaker 2: only a brick could have, you know what I mean, Yeah,

40
00:02:04,813 --> 00:02:08,693
Speaker 2: or maybe an Irish person. Yeah, but anyway, So that's Ludwig.

41
00:02:08,733 --> 00:02:12,653
Speaker 2: That's on TVNZ Plus from tomorrow. On three now. ReBs.

42
00:02:13,333 --> 00:02:16,413
Speaker 3: Yeah, another detective show. This one is quite different in tone.

43
00:02:16,533 --> 00:02:19,653
Speaker 3: This is Rebus. It's a Scottish detective series made by

44
00:02:19,693 --> 00:02:23,093
Speaker 3: the BBC, set in Edinburgh and of course based on

45
00:02:23,173 --> 00:02:26,333
Speaker 3: the Inspector Ribs books by Ian Rankin. And it's about

46
00:02:26,373 --> 00:02:29,533
Speaker 3: a detective named John Reebas who's played by Richard Rankin

47
00:02:29,573 --> 00:02:32,773
Speaker 3: from Outlander and he does a fantastic job here in

48
00:02:32,813 --> 00:02:39,293
Speaker 3: bringing this troubled, conflicted detective to life. Rebus is an antihero,

49
00:02:39,493 --> 00:02:41,853
Speaker 3: you know, he's a bit dodgy, he likes his booze.

50
00:02:41,893 --> 00:02:44,213
Speaker 3: He's not a great dad. He's the type of guy

51
00:02:44,293 --> 00:02:47,013
Speaker 3: who wants to do the right thing but doesn't always

52
00:02:47,093 --> 00:02:49,053
Speaker 3: know how to do it. And the case that he's

53
00:02:49,093 --> 00:02:52,773
Speaker 3: working on involves a local gangster and it becomes personal

54
00:02:52,813 --> 00:02:57,293
Speaker 3: when Rebs's older brother becomes caught up in it. It's

55
00:02:57,373 --> 00:03:00,133
Speaker 3: quite a dark and gritty crime drama. You know, there's

56
00:03:00,133 --> 00:03:03,533
Speaker 3: some violence in this, there's not much joy. Set in

57
00:03:03,573 --> 00:03:06,893
Speaker 3: the towel blocks, in the tougher parts of town. It's

58
00:03:06,893 --> 00:03:10,053
Speaker 3: about Rebus's life as a dad and an alcoholic as

59
00:03:10,133 --> 00:03:13,453
Speaker 3: much as it is about him solving crimes. And if

60
00:03:13,453 --> 00:03:15,973
Speaker 3: you've read the books, this is Rebus as a younger,

61
00:03:16,053 --> 00:03:18,653
Speaker 3: quite contemporary character. You know, they've made TV shows about

62
00:03:18,693 --> 00:03:20,613
Speaker 3: Reabs before, but this is kind of a fresh take

63
00:03:20,653 --> 00:03:24,373
Speaker 3: on him. It's well made as well active. It feels

64
00:03:24,373 --> 00:03:26,813
Speaker 3: a bit old fashioned and not in a bad way,

65
00:03:26,853 --> 00:03:29,973
Speaker 3: but just that it's a really solid crime drama with

66
00:03:30,053 --> 00:03:33,293
Speaker 3: some grit and toughness to it, maybe a bit like

67
00:03:33,373 --> 00:03:36,853
Speaker 3: shows like Taggert and Cracker. There's a realness to this

68
00:03:36,933 --> 00:03:37,893
Speaker 3: that I think people.

69
00:03:37,613 --> 00:03:40,093
Speaker 2: Will really like. Fantastic Okay, there, this sounds really good.

70
00:03:40,173 --> 00:03:43,213
Speaker 2: Rebus is on three now and on Disney Plus. Beatles

71
00:03:43,293 --> 00:03:43,973
Speaker 2: sixty four.

72
00:03:45,053 --> 00:03:47,813
Speaker 3: Yeah. This is the latest in a long line of

73
00:03:47,893 --> 00:03:51,293
Speaker 3: music documentaries that have taken original footage of the Beatles

74
00:03:51,333 --> 00:03:55,173
Speaker 3: and remastered it and repackaged it for viewers today. And

75
00:03:55,253 --> 00:03:58,573
Speaker 3: this documentary is produced by Martin Scorsese, and it's about

76
00:03:58,613 --> 00:04:01,173
Speaker 3: what happened when the Beatles went to America for the

77
00:04:01,173 --> 00:04:04,493
Speaker 3: first time in nineteen sixty four. They were there for

78
00:04:04,573 --> 00:04:07,973
Speaker 3: two weeks. Seventy million people watched them perform on The

79
00:04:08,093 --> 00:04:12,773
Speaker 3: Ed Sullivan Show, and the doco cattues the hysteria, the

80
00:04:12,813 --> 00:04:16,893
Speaker 3: Beatlemania that happened and the way the Beatles helped to

81
00:04:16,973 --> 00:04:20,013
Speaker 3: lift America out of the grief of Kennedy's assassination and

82
00:04:20,493 --> 00:04:23,693
Speaker 3: kick start at this new era of pop culture. And

83
00:04:23,733 --> 00:04:27,293
Speaker 3: there's some amazing behind the scenes archival footage of the

84
00:04:27,333 --> 00:04:30,533
Speaker 3: band here, of all the fans, you know, people sneaking

85
00:04:30,573 --> 00:04:33,213
Speaker 3: into the hotels. It very much takes you back to

86
00:04:33,253 --> 00:04:36,253
Speaker 3: that time and place, and it also interviews people who

87
00:04:36,293 --> 00:04:38,453
Speaker 3: were there at the time who look back on what

88
00:04:38,533 --> 00:04:40,813
Speaker 3: that moment with the Beatles meant with them, meant to

89
00:04:40,853 --> 00:04:44,733
Speaker 3: them and how the Beatles influenced their lives, which is

90
00:04:44,773 --> 00:04:48,213
Speaker 3: really lovely and watching this remind me. You know, today

91
00:04:48,253 --> 00:04:51,893
Speaker 3: when musicians come and perform, they have these huge stages

92
00:04:51,973 --> 00:04:54,413
Speaker 3: and screens and all sorts of bells and whistles. But

93
00:04:54,853 --> 00:04:57,533
Speaker 3: the Beatles in nineteen sixty four were just four guys

94
00:04:57,573 --> 00:05:00,253
Speaker 3: on a stage. That was it, and it was electric.

95
00:05:00,373 --> 00:05:03,173
Speaker 3: You know. They changed the world, and so this documentary

96
00:05:03,213 --> 00:05:05,773
Speaker 3: really catches the sense of that they were in the

97
00:05:05,813 --> 00:05:08,373
Speaker 3: eye of the incredible storm. And I think if you

98
00:05:08,413 --> 00:05:11,173
Speaker 3: were of this era particularly, you're really enjoyed this.

99
00:05:11,333 --> 00:05:13,453
Speaker 2: Yeah, Okay, that sounds wonderful. I think there'll be a

100
00:05:13,453 --> 00:05:15,693
Speaker 2: lot of fans for that one. That's Beatles sixty four.

101
00:05:15,693 --> 00:05:19,333
Speaker 2: It's on Disney Plus. Atara, I took your advice and

102
00:05:19,573 --> 00:05:22,013
Speaker 2: it was my turn in our household to choose what

103
00:05:22,013 --> 00:05:25,013
Speaker 2: we were watching this week. So we watched Say Nothing,

104
00:05:25,173 --> 00:05:27,293
Speaker 2: which we actually recommended to us last week. So I

105
00:05:27,333 --> 00:05:30,253
Speaker 2: had read the book. Say Nothing is, of course, the

106
00:05:30,253 --> 00:05:33,893
Speaker 2: the Disney series that follows a book basically about some

107
00:05:33,933 --> 00:05:37,773
Speaker 2: personal relationships during the troubles. It's based on a true story.

108
00:05:38,573 --> 00:05:40,613
Speaker 2: So we watched it this week. It was so good.

109
00:05:41,293 --> 00:05:43,013
Speaker 2: But you know what, it was one of those shows

110
00:05:43,013 --> 00:05:44,653
Speaker 2: we would watch it in the evening and then I

111
00:05:44,813 --> 00:05:46,653
Speaker 2: go to bed and I would just wake up in

112
00:05:46,653 --> 00:05:48,013
Speaker 2: the middle of the night and I'd still be thinking

113
00:05:48,013 --> 00:05:51,133
Speaker 2: about it, and I knew what happened, you know. So yeah,

114
00:05:51,853 --> 00:05:54,253
Speaker 2: I'm going to total all your recommendations from last week.

115
00:05:54,333 --> 00:05:56,533
Speaker 2: Say Nothing on Disney Plus is superb.

116
00:05:57,133 --> 00:05:57,853
Speaker 3: I'm so glad.

117
00:05:57,973 --> 00:06:00,933
Speaker 2: Yeah, thank you so much those shows once again. Ludwig
