McPhail & Gadsby

7x½ hour political satire (1997)
TV ONE, New Zealand
Distributor: Chrysalis Distribution (UK)
Synopsis

What New Zealand needs is to have a good laugh at itself. David McPhail and Jon Gadsby present a fast-paced, edgy sketch-comedy show which satirises the events of the week - the newsmakers, politics, sport and social issues.

The show is taped in front of a studio audience only hours before transmission.
