Good as Gold! Matt Elliott looks at the best and worst
Ah the 80s! Big hair, bright clothes, and some very risque advertising. It was also a time of some big political, social and economic changes in New Zealand: The Springbok Tour, Rainbow Warrior bombing, decriminalisation of homosexuality, anti-nuclear movement, the stockmarket crash...It saw fledgling industries take off - and the debut of some big events - the Rugby World Cup and a small show in Nelson founded by Suzie Moncrieff that was WoW. Sports events were brought to you by tobacco companies. There were Telethons...and even a lady reading the news! For a trip down memory lane - and to talk about his book that's prompting all this nostalgia - I'm joined by Matt Elliott, author of 'Good as Gold'.
