90s - Entertainment: Often unsure about exactly who we were as a nation, the 1990s saw New Zealand culture at the fore. Shortland Street was “kiwi as” from the outset, and has been a juggernaut of local production ever since. The 90s was also the era of the game shows, from Sale of the Century, to Wheel of Fortune and Blind Date - overseas formats, that we took and made distinctly our own.

Join legendary TV presenters Dougal Stevenson, Jennie Goodwin, Judy Bailey and Tom Bradley in a brand new local series, I Was There showing every weeknight in June. Each episode is presented by one of our iconic Kiwi newsreaders and covers a new decade. From the 60s through to the 90s, as viewers are taken through the biggest moments in New Zealand history over four momentous periods of change. I Was There unearths footage from rare archives, and fresh interviews offer new perspectives on the moments that changed our nation, from national tragedies to sporting triumphs and cultural milestones - all from the people who lived them.
