The Gulf (which debuts at 9pm on Monday, March 1 on Three and then on ThreeNow) gets underway. After all, she has her pregnant daughter Ruby (Timmie Cameron) to look after. That’s tempered though with the guilt of having just remembered her involvement in her husband’s death and the recent trauma of her long-term mentor’s attempts to kill her only being thwarted by her partner Detective Justin Harding (Ido Drent) putting bullets into his head.
Pippa Wetzell is back for another season of co-hosting Fair Go. New Zealand’s second-longest running television programme returns for 2021, with Pippa Wetzell and Haydn Jones sticking up for the little guy on
