This is all really great, thanks everyone. Especially @antoniosk, @ZollyMonsta and @Wheelbarrow01.
Seems I need to seek out Roger Gascoigne. Maybe @JasonParis would care to contribute? @alasta - tell me more about the farm burger :-)

A colleague of mine set up a Facebook closed group to gather memories of TVNZ Avalon staff. I'm wondering if the same idea might work for this history. Anyone interested, raise their hand!

Ngā mihi mahana,
