Some more Facelift videos, new and old, in my channel.
Facelift, 10PM Monday TVOne
Facelift, the parody/satire show that uses caricatures to make fun of New Zealand MPs and the media.
In this clip: a version of Super Nanny, as Don Brash and Helen Clark try to get Winston Peters (of NZ First) to decide who he'll make a coalition with in the 2005 election.
NEW: Facelift checks to make sure it contains Maori content. Kia-ora!
Background:
Rick Ellis (CEO of TVNZ) on national radio said that TVNZ had plenty of Maori television programs - the list he provided included Police 10/7 and Shortland Street.
