Book excerpt: The first study of New Zealands homegrown television drama, covering its development in all genres from 1960 to the present day and treating landmark programmes in detail. Dunleavy addresses the difficulties, practical, creative, economic and political, that have faced the production of TV drama in a small country, revealing how policy toward local content was part of a wider picture. She believes that it is only through telling their own stories that people can know themselves and shows how TV drama has reflected changes in ideas about cultural identity and contemporary society.
