Griff Rhys-Jones has been to New Zealand before, but when it came to the sheer, wild beauty to be found pretty easily, the landscapes, mountains, coastline...he hadn't seen much until now. In his new series, starting Sunday November 10, Griff traverses the country, finding not the 1978 trope that it was closed, but sculpture parks, a profound experience in a Northland marae, deliciously fresh fish and chips in Devonport, Pakatoa Island, Queenstown and Wanaka and along the way devised a clear sense of what it means to be a New Zealander today.
