Simon Prast stars as Adam Harding in the new season of the popular local series The Gulf, screening Mondays, 9pm on Three. I was quite a reserved, grown-up, formal little boy and I enjoyed a wonderful childhood on an acre of land in Waikōwhai, beside the Manukau Harbour, overlooking the airport and Māngere Mountain. We lived there with a great dane, a goat, two sheep and a cat. My folks worked really hard so my younger brother and I could go to Kings Prep, which was quite an expensive private school. I m so appreciative of the effort they made, they put a lot of love into their boys.

REVIEW: New Zealand’s answer to Sarah Lund is back. Still haunted by the accident that killed her husband Alex and left her with severe memory loss, Detective Jess Savage (Kate Elliott) is trying to move on, as the second series of
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.
