The One We've All Been Waiting For
 He’s back! Nostalgic series MAU
MAHARA (Monday August 16 at 9.00 PM ) trumpets the
welcome premiere of the original THE BILLY T JAMES
SHOW on Māori Television this week.
Sweeping viewers back to the heyday of New Zealand’s
most revered Māori entertainer, MAU MAHARA: THE
BILLY T JAMES SHOW is the original variety show from
the 1980s that features classic and essential comedy.
These include the famous Te News skits (with the black
singlet and yellow towel costume to match) and the hilarious
DIY skits, in which Billy plays the quintessential schemer by
instructing his audience how to purchase a car or a house on
the cheap.
Add a high-kicking troupe of fluffy-haired girls and Billy’s
sweet voice carrying a scattering of cabaret standards and the
makings of an entertaining night in are set.
The premiere episode will include hilarious skits from pharmacies
to chain gangs to Mexican amigos as well as a piece on how to
keep fit and healthy, Billy T James style!
Remember our greatest Maori entertainer yourself this week with
the premiere of THE BILLY T JAMES SHOW on MAU

BENNY AND THE DREAMERS
The incredible tale of an Aboriginal
tribal group’s
first contact with the white world is revealed on the documentary BENNY
AND THE DREAMERS screening on Māori Television
this Tuesday August 17 at 9.00 PM.
The documentary follows a small group
of Pintupi living in west Central Australia, who can remember
their first meeting with a white man, their first impressions
of the white man's world and their expectations of what the
white world had to offer.
For the first time on film, Australian Aborigines recreate
their version of their people's first contact with white culture
which was to change their traditional way of life forever.
In addition to rare archival footage,
Benny Tjapaljarri and other Pintupi elders tell their stories
of life before and after "white fellas". For some
of the Pintupi, it was a terrifying experience, for others
a fascinating view of a world which made little sense.
But for all Aboriginal people, white contact brought the
end of a nomadic way of life which had lasted for at least
40,000 years.
BENNY AND THE DREAMERS explores
the nightmare of assimilation that became ‘Papunya’,
the killing fields of alcohol, to the eventual rejection of
European life and the return of Aboriginal land at Kintore.
Don’t miss BENNY AND THE
DREAMERS on
Māori Television, Tuesday August 17 at 9.00 PM.
