TVNZ did the honours this week, introducing next year’s programming. Hopefully the network won’t have the rug pulled from under it as happened to TV3 when Mr McManus announced that it was all over, Rove-r, a month after TV3’s glossies went out to advertisers and the media announcing it as a returning series for 2010.
TV One’s new acquisition tentpole series comes from the Spielberg-led team that brought you Band of Brothers. This time they deliver The Pacific, for a mere $15 million an episode. So, that’s more than the cost of a whole series of Outrageous Fortune for one episode. Kind of makes you proud that Kiwis are capable of delivering bloody good television on a reasonable budget.
