Television

Its interesting that TV in New Zealand is radically different to TV in the UK. Although I think its actually the other way around. Americans or Australians are likely to only notice the difference in choice the fact that there is nothing on a Saturday night will only come as a surprise to the Brits. In the UK it really is the only place left in the world where Saturday night is a entertainment night, almost everywhere else in the world it sport, bad film or repeats!

The thing everyone would miss is the big events like Idol or the Apprentice and Whereever's Got Talent. NZ tries them but it is a country with a population of just 4 million, finding talent is hard, you need a lot of people to get the cream of the crop.

So rejoice in doing other things, talk and visit with friends, have fun with the family. Look at the lack of TV as a plus, you could even talk to your partner or play with your children!!
