Ben Elton performs his latest stand-up show in Christchurch this weekend as part of a national tour.
VICKI ANDERSON offers a few highlights of events in Ōtautahi Christchurch this weekend and beyond. One teenage son was unusually willing to answer the ‘’how was school?’’ question this week. He d used the phrase “hoisted by his own petard” in class and a teacher had responded with another
Blackadder phrase. The teacher asked the rest of the class to raise their hand if they knew of
Blackadder but no-one did. Now, when the teacher drops Blackadder one-liners just for his benefit, it adds a fun element to his day.
