A new Jewish comedy series and the return of a successful
Tongan drama are among a new batch of scripted content to be
made for online and broadcast TV audiences with NZ On Air
funding.
Kid Sister is a semi-autobiographical
Jewish comedy set in Auckland. The series explores universal
themes of cross-cultural conflicts, culture clashes and
character collisions, through the main character Lulu, a
young Kiwi Jewish woman in her prime, but who fears in the
Jewish world she is careening towards
‘Spinster’.
Off the back of strong online success,

1. A full house
Guy Williams and Mr Blue Sky UK added the final piece of the British puissance jigsaw to their collection. The pair shared the win with Elliott Smith on the aptly named Flamboyant, who has now won over the red wall at Bolesworth three times, and Derek Morton on KBS High Quality, who celebrated their second puissance win together at this venue
2. Neck-and-neck
Dead heats are not unheard of in showjumping, but it’s not something that happens everyday. However like buses, they seem to come along at once at Bolesworth with four on day two.
