There were worst decisions made by TVNZ, such as the selling-off of the Natural History Unit for diddly-squat. I can recall Michael Stedman telling me a couple of years back that NHNZ was making a bigger annual profit than TVNZ.

The huge old barn down the hill from my brother’s house in Mendocino CA. I have been recording the decline of this structure over 10 years. Used to scare my children shitless, with the now faded graffitti , “We Are Watching You”.
