Many WIFT members will remember that before The X Factor there was New Faces, before Masterchef there was Graham Kerr, beforeCountry Calendar there was ... er, Country Calendar. This collection - the first of NZ On Screen's decade showcases - picks the top 10 screen hits from the decade that "gave New Zealand miniskirts, teenagers - and television." Peter Sinclair, Sandy Edmonds, Howard Morrison, and Ray Columbus star.
Of the 60s it's quipped that, if you can remember them, "then you weren't really there." In the collection primer, veteran writer (Gloss, Shortland Street, Close to Home) and reporter (Town and Around) Judy Callingham does her best to disprove the maxim and recalls the black and white - and smoke-stained - beginnings of NZ TV.
"In the 1960s, New Zealand women all talked like the Queen!"
