After countless kisses, twists, calamities and cliffhangers, Shortland Street has been on air for more than 30 years! Produced by WIFT NZ Awards sponsor South Pacific Pictures, the soap opera juggernaut has provided a launch pad for dozens of Kiwi talents, on and off screen. This collection assembles some of the street's most dramatic and memorable moments — plus music, interviews, bloopers, and the very first episode, shot back in 1992. Shortland St actor-turned-director Angela Bloomfield writes about how the show has changed, and Mihi Murray backgrounds what it has achieved — and how it reflects New Zealand.
