Prime TV's Decades in Colour is a documentary series charting New Zealand's social history through three decades of home movies - from the 1950s to the 1970s. Presented by Judy Bailey and features over 200 colour films shot on 16mm and 8mm, surfacing after producer Alex Reed's nationwide search.
12:50 Bridget Ikin: Sherpa
An angry brawl a few years ago between European climbers and a gang of disgruntled Sherpas contradicted everything we thought we knew about the friendly, loyal mountain guides who selflessly assisted Sir Ed Hillary and his successors to the top of Mount Everest. Producer Bridget Ikin tells us that brawl was the starting point of a documentary which is opening here in a few weeks. Sherpa ended up going somewhere bigger and more shocking.

At a time when public broadcasting is being squeezed on all sides - is it too elitist, is it too dumbed-down? - one radio programme ignores trends. It's officially called "Saturday Morning", but everyone simply calls it "Kim Hill" - which is only partly accurate. But Kim's only half the package. Playing David Rawlings to her Gillian Welch is Saturday Morning's secret weapon, producer extraordinaire Mark Cubey. Mark picks comedy from Fawlty Towers, Gary Shandling, Ross Noble, and The Producers.
2:25 Project Runway's Tim Gunn

2:45 Paul Waggott
Chances are that if you've seen a play in Wellington in the last few years Paul Waggott was in it, often as a member of his collective My Accomplice.
He's performing in a physically demanding, one man fantasy epic parody that he co-wrote, The Seven Sons of Supparath, and a return season of Beards! Beards! Beards!. But these will be the last shows Paul performs before heading to his native UK.
