Moon Jumper (1985 - 86)
Sunday, 05 May 2013 16:19

Nicky Wyman loved horses. She had a great but latent talent as a horseman, but Nicky came from a background where there was never enough money to spare for anything but essentials. To keep riding she mucked out stables,cleaned tack, and exercised other people's horses. Then fate and circumstances took a hand, and Nicky found herself, together with a strange recluse named Snowbuck, and a social misfit called Sam, battling to save the life of a little mare - Moon Jumper.

Always against time, and sometimes even outside the law, they worked to prepare Nicky and Moon Jumper to do the impossible- to win the most prestigious one day event.

Devised by Julian Dickon,
Writers: Ken Catran, Tim Harrigan, Wendy Jackson, and other.

New Zealand Television Awards cancelled
Wednesday, 13 February 2013 08:35

ThinkTV, the convenor of the 2012 New Zealand Television Awards, has announced the end of the annual Awards following discussions with its major partners TVNZ and MediaWorks.

The Awards have been through some turbulent times in the last few years with the loss of a key sponsor in 2011 and with the Screen Directors’ Guild of New Zealand pulling out of what was the joint Film and Television Awards at the beginning of 2012.

ThinkTV, on behalf of its members, would like to thank the judges, contestants, associated sponsors and the many others for the time and effort they have contributed to making the awards the success that they have been for the last five years.
