Duncan Garner gets behind Northland Electricity Rescue Helicopters
Hi Northland, Duncan Garner here. I go fishing up in the Hokianga when I can and it's great to know that if we ever get in trouble, the Northland Electricity Rescue Helicopters are there.
Did you know they are the busiest air ambulance service in New Zealand?
They fly 24/7 in any weather.
So go to Give A Little ( and donate to the ERH appeal.

Billy Connolly High Horse Tour NZ Tour 2014
BILLY CONNOLLY -- or The Big Yin as he's affectionately known in his native Scotland -- has been wowing NZ audiences with his live stand-up shows since 1978. With every visit, his fanbase has become larger and larger: from under 7000 people in 1978 to over 60,000 in 2009 - every concert sold out and surpassing all records for international comedians in NZ.
This time round will be no exception. He's funnier than ever and he'll be on his very high horse as he regales audiences with the humour that's filled his head since his last visit.
A recent critique from the UK ....Like no other, BILLY CONNOLLY turns our everyday life experiences into stunningly funny situations, carrying his audience from one irreverent story to another until a collective exhaustion sets in! ...
It's great to have Billy back for a comprehensive 12-city tour, says promoter Ian Magan. In the 36 years he has visited New Zealand, Billy has become a true friend to Kiwis who love his irreverent and topical humour

Being Billy
His professional life started in the shipyards of Glasgow where he worked as a welder in the early 60s. He decided to give it away to pursue a career as a folk singer and banjo player in the Humblebums with Gerry Rafferty (later of Baker Street fame) and then as soloist.
The jokes he told between songs eventually took over his act and he became a full-time comedian. Already a big star in Scotland, he became a household name in the UK after appearing on Parkinson (1971) in the early 70s.
He also became an actor, and has appeared in blockbusters ranging from Indecent Proposal (1993) to Mrs. Brown (1997), for which he was nominated for a BAFTA; the all-star Quartet (2012) through to Lemony Snicket's A Series of Unfortunate Events (2004) and Gulliver's Travels (2010) starring Jack Black, to name but a few. His love affair with New Zealand has included appearances in Peter Jackson's Hobbit movies as well as The Last Samurai, filmed in Taranaki, and starring Tom Cruise.
A worldwide TV audience of over 30 million also got to see him hooning around on his trike and naked bungy jumping for his series World Tour of New Zealand (2004).
In 2012, BILLY CONNOLLY's artistic expression took a new path, in the form of fine art (his tour logo features his own art). The process is similar to that of the Surrealist Automatism movement, whereby the artist allows the hand to move randomly across the paper or canvas, without an intent to create anything specifically.
Connolly's art can also be likened to that of the cave paintings that originated in Aurignacian culture, possessing a charming simplicity, yet an extraordinary self-awareness and humanity. Connolly's characters are faceless, completely anonymous; seemingly devoid of emotion or expression and yet, the emotional connection with the audience is quite prevalent.
Don't miss out on seeing this great jockey of jokes on his high horse!

Adam, Norm, and Joey arrive in Wellington, New Zealand, home of Weta Workshop to begin work on our short film. Equipped with just a story outline and some pre-planning, we jump right into preparations for the film shoot that'll happen at the end of the week. We begin with a visit to the prosthetics lab, where Adam has his arm moded for a prop, and then sit down to work out the details of the script. Plus, we see the creature suit for the very first time!

Trade Minister Tim Groser and Foreign Minister Murray McCully are also both examples of ministers doing the same thing.

Weta Workshop Sculptor's Tabletop Miniature World!
Adam Savage checks in on the status of sculptor Johnny Fraser-Allen's tabletop model, which has grown from the intricate Labyrinth we saw two years ago to a sprawling world steeped in fantasy architecture and landscapes that come alive. We're awestruck by the design and details of these models, which Johnny has brilliantly made to be modular and customizable. We can't wait to play in Hagglethorn Hollow!

A note from Johnny about the status of this model and kit:
Since the filming of this video the product has gone through significant development and after consideration to the market for this product, we have decided to release the range first as physical products with 3D STL files in the near future. Get TTG updates on Facebook:
Hagglethorn Hollow is coming to Kickstarter on September 26th 2018
